Reverse Confetti Blog Hop!!!

 
Welcome to the REVERSE CONFETTI New Release Blog hop! Could it be November already? With this month’s new release from REVERSE CONFETTI, it’ll be a snap to get a jump start on those holiday cards and projects (yep, Christmas is just around the corner!). Lucky for you, it’s the 8th of the month, and we’ve got some inspiration to get you going with that very thing! Come and hop along with the Confetti Crew as we share some creative ideas using all the new products from REVERSE CONFETTI, including five new trendy stamp sets and introducing CONFETTI CUTS. That’s right, we now carry steel dies, and there are 2 sets to choose from this month. Along with the Confetti Crew and our new CHALLENGE Crew, we’ve also invited some extra friends to join in on the action! Let’s go! 
 

The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from DanielaDobson’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you to see using all the new Reverse Confetti stamp sets!

I had a little fun creating my own holiday gingham pattern with the stripes from So Stripey and adding in a sentiment from Bring on the Merry with VELLUM.  Sorry friends.....I just can't seem to put the vellum down!!!  I can remember a time when vellum was hot and then it wasn't.......I'm hoping it's back!!  Vellum has found its way onto lots of my projects lately! 

I layered my gingham panel over a strip of silver Glitzy Glitter cardstock by DCWV.  This paper is AMAZING!!!  I've never felt a glitter cardstock before that is smooth!  {swoon!}  To keep the glitz and homespun feeling going, I stitched my buttons with silver metallic thread.

 
Merry Christmas
