COMINGSOON

Welcome back for the final day of sneak peeks! Today’s sneaks focus on the new Joyous Holiday and Joys of the Season sets:

I also used the new All the Stars die for today’s projects:

all the stars

You know how sometimes you have an idea and when you actually try it, it works just like you planned? Don’t you just love it when that happens?! When I saw the All the Stars die, I wondered if I could use it on each end of a card panel and leave just a little space in the middle for a focal point image. Worked like a charm:

Peace on Earth Angel WM

This sweet little angel from Joyous Holiday snuggled right into that space in the middle. I added some soft ink blending on the edges and backed it with gold glitter cardstock.

For my second card today, I was so excited to try out the Joys of the Season set (shhh…don’t tell any of the other sets but this one is my favorite!). What I love about this set is how many different looks you can get from the same set. For this card, I used gold embossing and watercolor for a vintage look.

Holly WM

I love how those holly leaves just nestle right next to the sentiment!

COMINGSOON

Welcome back for day 2 of Reverse Confetti sneak peeks! Today’s sneaks focus on the new Halloween Gnomes and With a Thankful Heart sets:

I also used the This & That patterned paper that is being released this month:

This & That 6x6

I love making these little treat boxes for holidays. They are so easy to make from a single sheet of 6×6 paper. If you have an envelope punch board just remember – punch and score at 2 and 4 (that’s what I say to myself as I’m making them).

Treat Box WM Square

Once all the boxes were assembled, it was time for the fun part – decorating! I punched a circle and added a little ink blending to create a “base” of moons or a crystal ball. All of the images were colored with Copics and then die cut.

COMINGSOON

Welcome to the first day of sneak peeks for the new Reverse Confetti holiday release (and my first official day posting projects as a ‘Fetti Friend)! I was so excited when that package of goodies arrived – can’t wait to share all of it with you over the next few days!

Today’s sneaks focus on the new Peony and Sentimentally Yours stamp sets:

I also used the new Stitched Circles Cover Panel and Square Window Tag dies on today’s projects:

So when I first saw the Stitched Circles Cover Panel die, I said “self, you need to put a rainbow ink blended panel behind that”. There was no other option.

So after I used my favorite Distress Oxdide rainbow combination, I attached the die cut panel using foam adhesive (those little spots behind the stitched circles fit them perfectly).

Love You WM

And as much as I love the actual peony image from the Peony set, I would have wanted that set for the leaves alone. Take another look – there is so much you could do with them. With all that rainbow goodness, I didn’t even need to color it!
