The theme for the July Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge is Oh, Baby!
I pulled out my favorite baby stamp set - Cute as a Button and a sentiment from Congratulations. I added some fun little baby buttons to finish the design.
The colors are from the CAS Colour Challenge.
The layout is the Fab Friday Sketch.
This week I am the Guest Hostess at the SplitcoastStampers Inspiration Challenge ... I chose the adorable felted creatures of Fudge and Mabel to inspire us.
I chose the wonderful Tomte Gnomes to inspire my card.
I started with the cute little gnome from Reverse Confetti Holiday Gnome stamped with my MISTI on white cardstock. Then I colored him with Spectrum Noir Markers and added an epoxy star to the top of his hate. Gnomes aren't just for Christmas.
My Gnome is for the June Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti ... to make an Hello or Thinking of You Card.
I used the Reverse Confetti Scalloped Squares Frame and a sentiment from So Many Sentiments cut with my Cut-Align to complete my card design (pulling in the wood grain from the inspiration photo).
I hope you'll come join the fun.
I needed a congratulations card for a new Grandma of twins. I went to my favorite Reverse Confetti Cute as a Button stamp set for the win.
The layout is from Feeling Sketchy, sentiment is from Reverse Confetti Posted Note Sentiments & the papers are from Reverse Confetti Pattern Play.
Reverse Confetti is celebrating their 6th Birthday Month with a Birthday-themed Stock Your Stash Challenge.
Since Amy Tsuruta is a Reverse Confetti Designer ... and since her favorite color is Green ... I decided to make a monochromatic Green Design (also inspired by the Gorgeous Green Color Palette at the Rainbow Challenge) ... and now I want some lime cake.
I used the Scalloped Squares Confetti Cuts in Green and White and mounted it on a some green designer paper from Reverse Confetti Pattern Play.
Next I stamped my piece of Cake and Candle from Reverse Confetti Hey Sugar in Verdant VersaFine Clair Ink on the Green Cardstock before die cutting. I used a Yellow Gelly Pen for the Candle & Flame.
The finishing touch was the sentiment from Reverse Confetti Birthday Wishes.
The theme of the Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti for April is Moms, Dads or Grads.
Of course, no Moms, Dads or Grads stamps in my Reverse Confetti Stash, so I had to get creative. What I do have are Congratulations Stamps & Encouragement Stamps, so I combined sentiments from Reverse Confetti My Tribe and Congratulations for this Graduation Card.
I watched this video to figure out how to make my own Mortar Board Hat and added a bit of twine for the tassel.
As I packed-up to my to my Alterna-Studio five weeks ago, I took several stamp sets from each company hoping I'd be able to participate in challenges ... but also noting that some extra creativity would likely be needed. The Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti for March is Easter or Spring.
Well, no Easter or Spring Stamp sets in my limited stash (hard to remember, but I'm guessing I would be lacking if I had my entire Reverse Confetti inventory since Easter isn't a big cardmaking holiday for me). I did however pick-up a cute package of felt bunnies with puffy tails at Michael's last weekend, so that's where my design began.
I thought my little Bunny Tribe made a perfect Easter Card for my girlfriends using a sentiment from Reverse Confetti My Tribe stamped in Mint Ink on my grey card base ... love this.
I'm joining the Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti with an Encouragement card.
I'm also joining the On the Wings of Inspiration - Bunches of Butterflies Challenge at TGIF Challenges.
Sentiment is from Reverse Confetti My Tribe. Sketch & design inspiration with my Kaleidoscope (Rainbow) of Butterflies is from the Fusion Card Challenge.
Life is better because of people who exemplify this sentiment ... so grateful I have some in my life.
I've had a relaxing day in my studio ... always love some uninterrupted time to get inky. I found a new challenge I wanted to join called The Rainbow Challenge ... and the first challenge is the color RED.
I decided to combine it with the new Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti with the theme Love is in the Air.
I used three different Reverse Confetti sets for my card ... the main image is the hugs & kisses from Big Notes framed by the die cuts from the All Framed Up Confetti Cuts (I love how the stitches repeat the "kisses" design).
The two small typed sentiments are from Fancy Word Coordinates and larger "you are loved" is from One Day at a Time. The sketch is from the Global Design Challenge.
The background paper is from Alexandra Renke's Nordic Christmas paper.
I created a quick design for the Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge ... making some Thank You Cards.
The stamps & coordinating die cut are from Reverse Confetti Kindness Cards & Kindness Cards Confetti Cuts (I miss BasicGrey papers so much).
The November Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti is Winter or Holiday ... since my Christmas Card stash is decently stocked, I decided to go with the New Year's Holiday.
I chose Reverse Confetti CLINK - one of my favorite sets - and the coordinating Confetti Cuts.
I also took my inspiration from the current challenge at The Library Challenge - Bridget Jones Diary ... because you know she'd be clinking a glass of wine (or champagne). The book color inspired my use of a color (vs. white) for the background & the incorporation of Gold into the design.
I used some really cool Love from Lizi Gold Peel-Off Stickers that I got at Junkie Fest earlier this year to accent my sentiments. The tiny metallic strips are the perfect accent for lots of designs.
