reverse confetti march 2022 release: day two

Hi there creative friends! I am thrilled to be joining Reverse Confetti for the month of March and April as a 'Fetti Friend. Today I am thrilled to give you a sneak peek at some of the brand new stamps and dies that will be available on March 8th! 

Today we are featuring: 

Friendly Florals 

To create this card was simple, I blended Distress Inks in Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon onto a piece of Distress watercolor cardstock and then added some gold and blue splatter. Once the panel was dry, I stamped the thank you for being a friend sentiment and embossed it in gold. I also stamped and embossed several flowers from this set in gold and colored them in loosely with Saltwater Taffy and Mowed Lawn Distress reinkers and a detailer waterbrush and added them to the card with foam tape to frame the sentiment.

I can't wait to hop around and see what everyone else has designed.   Leave a comment by noon central on March 7th for a chance to win a $15 Reverse Confetti Gift Certificate. There will be a $15 Gift Certificate for one blog commenter and also one FB commenter.  Make sure you pop over to the  Reverse Confetti Blog for all the details!

reverse confetti march 2022 release: day one

Hi there creative friends! I am thrilled to be joining Reverse Confetti for the month of March and April as a 'Fetti Friend. Today I am thrilled to give you a sneak peek at some of the brand new stamps and dies that will be available on March 8th! 

Today we are featuring: 

Sending Smiles (Stamps and dies) 
Springtime Sentiments  

I am also using: 

Egg Carton (part of the new release) 
Stitched Daises Cover Panel 
Brilliance Cover Plate die 

I have two very 'eggciting' cards for you today combining the Springtime Sentiments and the new Egg Carton die for two different looks. The first one I created by cutting the egg carton from Kraft paper, inking the edges and adding some 'dyed' eggs that I colored with Alcohol Ink for a friend that is very egg-stra indeed. I placed the carton onto the Brilliance Cover Panel that I had stamped with one of the Springtime Sentiments. 

For the second card, I kept it more traditional and combined a piece of plaid paper from the Hello Holidays Paper pad along with eggs cut from a speckled cardstock in a blue carton. I added a sentiment from the Springtime Sentiments stamped directly on the Stitched Daises panel. 

I can't wait to hop around and see what everyone else has designed.   Leave a comment by noon central on March 7th for a chance to win a $15 Reverse Confetti Gift Certificate.

tim holtz distress saltwater taffy: distress ink blended sunset

Hello creative friends!  A super simple (but vibrant) ink blended card for you today with the newest Distress Color, Saltwater Taffy. This one is super simple to create. I took a piece of White Mixed Media Heavystock, and blended Distress Inks in (from the bottom up) Squeezed Lemonade, Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy, Spiced Marmalade, Victorian Velvet, and Wilted Violet. 


To finish the card, I added some bold black accents including a sentiment from the Bold Sayings stamp set and some palm trees cut from the (sadly retired) Tim Holtz Tropical set, but you could combine any leaves and branches you have for a similar look!

tim holtz distress saltwater taffy: embossing glaze cards

Hi there creative friends! I have one of my favorite trios of cards using the newest Tim Holtz Distress color, Saltwater Taffy. These cards are so easy to put together, and as you can see, can be done with so many combinations to suit any occasion. I stamped one of the Brushstrokes, embossed with Distress Embossing Glaze and embossed it, and then repeated it with 2 coordinating colors. I stamped a butterfly from the Flutter stamp set, fussy cut and adhered it to the card with foam tape. Then I added a bit of splatter with Black Soot Distress Paint and a paint brush and an Idea-ology Sentiments Label Sticker. Let's take a look at each combo below. All supplies linked at the end of this post :) 


A bright and happy mix of Saltwater Taffy, Fossilized Amber and Wilted Violet. 


This one is a little more mellow with Weathered Wood, Candied Apple and Saltwater Taffy. 


And finally a more whimsical palette with Kitsch Flamingo, Saltwater Taffy and Cracked Pistachio. 

I hope you enjoyed these cards, they were super easy and fun to put together and the color combos are almost endless!

tim holtz distress saltwater taffy: simple plaid floral

Hi there creative friends! Sharing the first of several makes today using the newest color in the Distress line, Saltwater Taffy. I created so many cards with this new color, I will have a new one to share with you every day for the next week, so be sure to check back. This one was super easy to create. To begin, I cut a card panel and the Sizzix Simple Plaid die from Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I used the smooth side as the top for both pieces. I adhered them together using Distress Collage Medium. Once the pieces were adhered and dry, I ink blended over them using Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide. 

To create the flowers, I stamped the flowers from the Flower Garden stamp set in Broken China Distress Oxide then quickly smudged the flowers with a foam ink blending tool. I took a detailer water brush and extended the color in some places. I stamped each flower twice and layered them with foam tape. For the leaves, I cut a few leaves from the Funky Florals 1 dies in similar colors of blue. To create the chunky gold splatter, I sprayed on some Distress Resist Spray (inside a splat box - and no where else...this stuff is super sticky) then added gold embossing power on top and once it was dry, I embossed the powder for the chunky look you see here. 

To finish the card, I added the flowers with foam tape and a simple sentiment from the Idea-ology Quotations Metallic Stickers.
