Being a 'rubber' stamper I haven't used digital stamps that often, but I must say this was the easiest card I've ever made and it was very cool that I did all the images right on my computer!  Of course, the images in this set (Hero Arts Digital Caffeine Fix) are super cute which definitely made all the difference!

Spring Where Are Ewe?

Sunday, March 25, 2018


I'm thinking of ewe, Spring - where are you?!  My tulips and trees think you're coming as are the robins, but you are no where in sight!  I'd just like not to have to wear my winter coat too much longer ;)


At least there was some Spring in my craft room as I played with some super springy Reverse Confetti goodies!  To start, I used the Wonky Stripe Panel Die cutting Iced Aqua cardstock and pattern paper designs from Fun Times and Pattern Play paper pads.  I had fun layering up the tag using Topped Off Tag die cut from Piggy Bank cardstock; Squared Off Tag Toppers die cut from Iced Aqua; the sun and cloud are from Sun 'n Clouds Confetti Cuts; and the darling lamb, bird and fence are from the All About Ewe stamp set and coordinating dies.

Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration...

Reverse Confetti & Misti Spring Fling Hop!

Tuesday, March 20, 2018

Reverse Confetti is so excited to be teaming up with My Sweet Petunia (MISTI) for a super special blog hop and the excitement begins today!  Read on to see how YOU can win some amazing prizes!!  You've most likely come from the fabulous Chris Dayton's blog - welcome! 


Two lucky commenters from the hop will win one of two prizes: a $60 shopping spree at My Sweet Petunia and a $60 shopping spree at Reverse Confetti!!!  Be sure to leave your comments no later than Sunday, March 25th, at 11:59 PM Central time.  Winners will be announced on Tuesday March 27th, on the Reverse Confetti and My Sweet Petunia blogs.  (See Blog Hop list below)




For my first project, I made a cute Easter tag created with Basket Confetti Cuts, Hippity Hoppity stamp set and coordinating dies and the flowers are from Blooms 'n Buds stamp set and coordinating dies.  I filled a Mini Clear Box with paper grass and candy eggs then tied it up in a bow.  The treat box and tag make the perfect little Easter/spring giftie!

  The MISTI tool makes stamping multiple die cuts, masking, mirror imaging and so much more an absolute breeze!  Check out these videos for tons of ideas, tips and tricks!

 For my next project, I cut Buttercup cardstock using the new Stitched Rays Cover Panel.  The frame was made cutting Premier Polar White cardstock with the All Framed Up die and I used the new Dashed Line Tag die cut from Piggy Bank cardstock as a little background. The bunny and sentiment are from the Hippity Hoppity stamp set and coordinating dies.  The flowers, from Blooms 'n Buds, were masked/stacked using the MISTI tool which I then fussy cut and added the stamped/die cut leaves.


For this sweet little note card using Blooms 'n Buds, I stamped the flower then masked it with a die cut post-it note and stamped one leaf then masked that leaf to stamp the 2nd leaf.  Cool technique and done in a snap with the MISTI tool!

Be sure to stop by these designers blog to check out the fantastic projects they have to share with you!!  Next up is the very talented
Stephanie Severin...
