Reverse Confetti April Blog Hop...

 It looks like spring has finally sprung, and we can’t think of a better way to get some crafty spring inspiration than with a fun new Blog Hop from REVERSE CONFETTI!  Today, the Confetti Crew and a few other “friends” will surely brighten your day with their fabulous cards and projects.  We hope you will take some time and be inspired as you hop along with us right now!

The hop started over on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Laurie’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 of Reverse Confetti’s amazing stamp sets!



This card was super easy and quick!  I inked up the stamp but masked off the "O".  I added in a little red heart and then colored in the "I" and the "U".  Easy peasy!  :)

I hope you’ve enjoyed hopping with us today. Be sure and hop with us on the 8th of EVERY MONTH for more REVERSE CONFETTI inspiration! Now it’s time to hop on over to Lisa’s blog. If you get lost along the way, you can find the hop order and list of all the participating designers over on the Reverse Confetti blog.

How would you like to win some Reverse Confetti goodies of your very own?  Leave a comment on each stop along the way for a chance to win a $15 gift certificate to REVERSE CONFETTI. Comments are open until Thursday, April 10 at noon CST, and the winner will be announced on the Reverse Confetti Blog!

A few things before you hop along though, just to keep you “in the know”…

Clearly Besotted April Release...

Back with another card today for Clearly Besotted's April Release.



I used the new Time to Celebrate set for this easy one layer card.  It is full of adorable clocks and images to build them.  I decided to use the images to make a quick and easy one layer card.  I added in a sentiment from Time to Celebrate Additions.

You can see the whole release, live now over at the Clearly Besotted blog.  I have some more samples  that I made up this weekend, coming soon!  :)

Hope you are having a happy Monday!  Thanks for stopping in!

Clearly Besotted April Release...

I am SO excited to be joining the super talented girls over at Clearly Besotted, for their April Release.  I have a card today using the new set called Design a Tree.  SO cute, I tell ya!  I can't wait for you to see the whole set!  

So I used one of my new favorite tags from Cleary Besotted, the Rounded Tag Die.  I cut one tag out in white and stamped the image.  And then I cut another out in Vellum to extend the the tag, and then heat embossed the sentiment.  I added in a stapled piece of ribbon to finish the tag and then added it on to a scored card base.  I used my Scor-Pal to make those 3 lines just for some added detail.  

I know the DT girls and the other Clearly Besotted guests have more to share!  Click here to check out more peeks!  

Come back soon because I have some more new CB to share!  :)  Thanks so much to the sweet and talented Stephanie for having me and thanks for coming by today!

Newton's Nook Winged Wishes

I stamped the clothesline image and then just added a little coloring.  I layered the main image onto a card where I scored every quarter of an inch, just for a little more detail.  

We are thrilled to have the owner of Newton's Nook, Jennifer Jackson, join us today for the Baby Booties challenge, using this precious stamp set, Winged Wishes!

April SFYTT...

 Hey there!  Stoppin in with the new SFYTT for the month of April...  

I used So Stripey for the background piece and then the new dies from the March Release to make the focal point.  The rounded corner rectangle is from Class Act dies and the flower is from Petals and Poises.   The sentiment is from the Class Act stamp set.  After I sponged some color to the center of the Posie, I stamped the dotted center over the top.  Then I went back in and added some Glossy Accents for a little diminsion.

Here is the new sketch..

Head over to the Reverse Confetti blog and play along!  Thanks so much for stopping in today!  Have a great day!
