Ingenious Inkling

#fettifarewell

I was so sad to see Jen announce that she was retiring from Reverse Confetti (but happy for her, since she's following her heart).  I have enjoyed Jen's products for years and even got to meet her at Creativation in 2018.  I wish her all the very best on the next leg of her journey.

 

 

I had fun going back to find my very first Reverse Confetti card from 2016.

 

 

And today I'm joining the #fettifarewell Instagram hop with a new card inspired by the Inspired by October Challenge.

I combined the Happy Confetti Cut with some stamp surgery Birthday on the Hooray Free with Purchase Set from Reverse Confetti.

 

 

I pulled the two shades of orange and the sage green from the inspiration photo and then used the Sketch for my card layout.  I added in some scraps of Gel Press print that were on my table and reminded me of that rug.  I skipping any embellishments to keep it a masculine mailable design.

 

 

The Best Thing to Hold Onto in Life

The August Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti is to make a Wedding Card.  It was perfectly timed, since a friend is getting married next weekend.

 

 

I decided to take my design inspiration from the Inspire.Create.Challenge.  I found some Alcohol Ink Designer paper that I paired with some texty paper from my stash.

 

 

I used the sentiment and flowers from Reverse Confetti Something Wonderful.   The finished card is a top fold 5" x 6" so I could add a wrap of yellow twine under the sentiment.  I finished with some coordinating crystal gems.

 

 

I'm also joining the Addicted to Stamps Challenge to use Stencils and/or Die Cuts.

 

 

 

And Retro Rubber Challenge is Anything Goes.  These stamps are from January 2018 and are still wedding favorites.

 

There's Gnome One Like You

The newest challenge at Shopping Our Stash is Gnomes.

 

 

I started with the fun little Gnome & House Stamps from Reverse Confetti Holiday Gnomes.  I paired them with scraps of paper from Reverse Confetti Winter Wonder (and a bit of blue Gel Press Print on a map index) using the Layout from Sketch Saturday.

 

 

The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti OMG for the Reverse Confetti June Stock Your Stash Challenge to create a Hello / Just Because Card. 

 

 

I added an enamel star to the top of my Gnomies hat and a few more enamel dots for accents.

 

 

Go Shop Your Stash for your Gnomes and come join the fun.

The Adventure Begins

Reverse Confetti's April Stock Your Stash is all about Moms, Dads & Grads.

 

 

I went with a Grads theme starting with the Reverse Confetti Triangle Cover Panel Cut in some local school colors.

Next I followed this video to create my own mortar board hat.  I didn't have cord in the colors, so I went with silver metallic cord & a silver brad.

 

I finished with two flag sentiments from Reverse Confetti Congratulations.

He Makes All Things New

The March Reverse Confetti Challenge is to make an Easter or Spring Card.

 

 

I used the plaid layering die cuts in spring hues together with the Reverse Confetti Easter Blessings sentiment stamped on the Reverse Confetti Stitched Hex Tag Die (with the sides trimmed to fit the sentiment).

 

 

I finished with some ribbon, twine & enamel dots.

You are Somebody

The February Stock Your Stash theme at Reverse Confetti is Encouragement & Congratulations.

 

 

I went with the Encouragement theme featuring a stamp from Reverse Confetti My Tribe.

 

 

I inked it with multiple inks to create an ombre effect and then die cut it with the Tag Die included in the Reverse Confetti Celebrate Tag Confetti Cut.

The background is two ink-smooshed panels using Dylusions Shimmer Paint and the Sketch from Try Stampin' (or Not) on Tuesday.

 

 

I finished with a scattering of gems and ribbon & twine through the hole in the tag.

 

 

Happy Heart Day

The January Stock Your Stash theme at Reverse Confetti is Love is in the Air.

 

 

It is the perfect opportunity to use my new Big Love Confetti Cut.  I die cut the base in black and then die cut the letters and heart in Red Glitter Paper.  I attached the glitter paper with foam tape for dimension.  I added a little pink glitter heart from my stash on top.

 

 

 

I found this red and pink Gel Press Print (pulled with sheer silver metallic paint) that I used for my card base.

 

 

I finished with a red ink stamped sentiment from Reverse Confetti Words of Love.

Caffeinated Christmas Card

There's a new challenge blog in 2022 - Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge with the first challenge sponsored by our friends at Reverse Confetti.

 

 

I went through all of my Reverse Confetti stamps and found nothing I could use for Caffeine, so I had to get creative.

I started with papers from American Crafts Snow & Cocoa and a layout from the Paper Craft Crew Challenge.

 

 

I paired my Reverse Confetti Holiday Gnome with a coffee cup puffy sticker (clearly he's a Venti kind of guy) I found in my Stash.  I used a Snow & Cocoa Sticker Sentiment and a stamped outline sentiment from Reverse Confetti Seasonal Say it All.

 

 

I'm also joining Just Us Girls where the Word is Beverages.

 

Thank You

The December Stock Your Stash Challenge at Reverse Confetti is Thank You.

 

 

I decided I wanted to use the Reverse Confetti Thanks Die with one of my Alcohol Ink Gel Press Prints.

 

 

I added a sentiment from the Reverse Confetti Thank You stamp set along the bottom of the die cut.

Happy Holidays Gnome

The current challenge at The Male Room is Gnomes, so I pulled out my Reverse Confetti Holiday Gnomes, which will also work for the November Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge which is to create a Holiday or Winter Card.

I decided to use the colors and some paper scraps from Reverse Confetti Winter Wonder papers as my color palette together with a layout from Sketch ~N~Scrap.

 

 

I paired my holiday gnome with the Reverse Confetti Triangle Tree, which I loved paired with the triangle designer paper.  The sentiment is Sentimental Christmas from Reverse Confetti.

I colored my gnome & tree with my Graph-it Markers.  I finished with a few clusters of glittery enamel dots.
