Technique Tuesday / Robbie the Raccoon

Hello!

I have one more card from the March release from Technique Tuesday. Are you familiar with the Animal House Stamps? There is a whole category of them from Technique Tuesday!

This month is Robbie the Raccoon and ton of fun punny sentiments to pair with him! I created a very simple scene and some ink blending using Distress Inks. I created a grass border using the Threaded Crafting Dies and stamped his "paws" up the panel. My images were Copic colored and die cut using the coordinating dies. For a little whimsy, I added some stamped stars from an older stamp set.

Reverse Confetti / Stock Your Stash (Easter/Spring)

Hello! I am sharing a card for the Reverse Confetti.......Stock Your Stash Challenge!

Every month will be a new theme and this month we are showcasing Easter and Spring! Don't we all wish SPRING were here!

Shop for Reverse Confetti HERE!

I just had to use these cuties from Spring Pals again for this challenge however I paired it up with several other sets from this line.

I started out coloring some of the critters from the set with Copics and went from there to create my card. I chose the frog and duck images. To bring out the green, I ink blended some Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink onto a white rectangle panel. This color matches perfectly with the polka dot paper from the new pad Darling Dots. I created a frame for my scene using the Stitched Note & Frames Confetti Cuts. I added a cute sun from Think Pink, clouds from Weather it Together, and a sentiment from Hippity Hoppity. I just love how this turned out!

I started with ink blending Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink over a white top folding notecard. A Sunburst Cover Plate was die cut in white and added to my note card. To the center, I added a die cut circle (with Zig Zag Stitched Circles) that was stamped with my sentiment. My fruit was embellished with chunky glitter and added to my card with foam adhesive. A few black gems were added as a finishing touch!

Today I get to share a fun RAINBOW card........creating a card with rainbow colors just makes me happy!

Stitched Note & Frames has amazing frames but here I've used the inside part of the die, the stitched lines panel. This panel was perfect to stamp all the celebrate, birthday wishes sentiments from Word Up. I added this panel to a notecard that was lined with rainbow striped paper from Cue the Confetti paper pad. I added a few die cut balloons from Boxes 'n Balloons along with some strings. My bold die cut sentiment is from the new word duo set called Hooray & Cheers Confetti Cuts. I added a white layer in behind my black sentiment to make it pop along with some white detail lines.

Avery Elle / Orchid

Hello! I'm here sharing a card using the beautiful Orchid stamp set from Avery Elle.

With the sentiments included, this set can be used for ANY occasion.

I stamped the main orchid image with Black New Moon Dye Ink from Avery Elle. Using Copics, the image was colored in adding in shading in places. I wanted my image to be front and center. To do this, I added my Copic colored and die cut image with foam adhesive over a background blended with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink and a white Scalloped Mat Elle-Ments panel. To finish, I added a white sentiment strip and some Wink of Stella on the blooms.

Supplies:

Orchid

Orchid Elle-Ments

Scalloped Mat Elle--Ments

Black New Moon Dye Ink Pad

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Reverse Confetti / Countdown to Confetti Day 2

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the Reverse Confetti March Release!

Reverse Confetti is releasing ..... 6 new stamp sets and 11 Confetti Cuts this month as well as the Darling Dots paper pad.

This release should get you in the SPRING mood!

Make sure to check out the Reverse Confetti blog for a list full of inspiration and information on all the new goodies!!

My favorite day of Reverse Confetti releases is the debut of the newest sets illustrated by Dawn Machell.

So Super is a fun super hero set with adorable details. I created a galaxy type background with Distress Inks on Bristol Smooth cardstock and splattered white acrylic paint. This panel was die cut using the You're Super Duper Confetti Cuts. I layered this panel over a white notecard that was ink blended with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink. My super hero was Copic colored and added with foam adhesive along with the lightning bolt. I added the stamped "city" image at the bottom and a bold black frame (using Stitched Note & Frame Confetti Cuts) with foam adhesive.

**************************************

The next set in the line up from Dawn Machell is Spring Pals. I love this set! Spring has arrived in my craft room!

I can't wait to create more little scenes with Spring Pals. I started out with a die cut Stitched Hex Tag and ink blended Broken China and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks. I added my Copic colored images with foam adhesive onto my ink blended tag. My cute scene was added to my notecard that was lined with pattern paper from Pattern Play.
