Reverse Confetti November Sketch For You To Try

Thursday, November 16, 2017


 Thanksgiving may be right around the corner, but this week's temps felt like it was Christmas!  The leaves just seemed to disappear from the trees and there was actual frost on my car windows!  Burr....  These cute little penguins that I used for my November SFYTT like this weather though!  What will inspire you?!

There is a new sketch posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 1st of each month. The sketch link list will be open from the 1st until noon CST on the 29th. The SFYTT button is posted on the sidebar.  Click on it to be taken to the current SFYTT post and link list.

Reverse Confetti stamps and/or Confetti Cuts are required to win.  This is a way we get to thank our customers for using our stamps.  Anyone is welcome to play, though! You may enter as many times as you wish.

There will be a winner each month and that person will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of ‘Fetti Fave. The winner of SFYTT will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog at the end of the month.


For my card, I started with the new Small Diamond Tiles Cover Panel die for the backdrop. I cut Cloud White cardstock with the Topped Off Tag, Brick cardstock with the Bubbly Tag Topper die and the tab was cut from Midnight cardstock using one of the Hang Ups dies.  These super sweet penguins are from S'more Love stamp set and coordinating dies.  For the pretty snowflake, I cut Cloud White cardstock using one of the Snowflake Trio dies.

Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration:

Saturday Coffee Cafe - Be Jolly

Saturday, November 11, 2017



Welcome to the Saturday Coffee Café feature on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog – I’m so glad you’re here because it’s that time of year to be jolly.  I’m not talking about the Christmas season, I’m talking about Starbucks Eggnog Lattes!!  Yep, they’ll be here in a couple weeks and I can’t wait :)!  

I created a tag in honor of this special occasion and also for another special event…the 25 Days of Christmas Tags blog hop!  For the last several years, Tracey McNeeley of In My Creative Opinion has hosted this fabulous event.  There are tons of inspiration, camaraderie and prizes up for grabs!
 

 

I used one of the My Favorite Things Pierced Tag dies for the base and created a background sponging distress ink oxide ink over Tim Holtz Stencil Nordic Layered Stencil and added pattern paper for the bottom.  The cup was made with My Favorite Things Cool Cup die.  For the the top tab I used Reverse Confetti Hang Ups die and the holly/berries were cut from pattern paper and gold cardstock using Reverse Confetti Holly dies.  The word die is STAMPlorations Be Jolly Phrase die.
