Reverse Confetti Sneak Peek Day 1

March 5, 2021

Hey everyone. I’m trilled to be joining in the Reverse Confetti Sneak Peak Day 1. This release is full of spring time happiness and adorable images.

For my card today I used the Lily Of The Valley and Orange Blossom stamp sets. Keeping my card clean and simple, I colored the oranges with Copic markers and used the coordinating die cut to cut it out.

I pulled a sentiment from the Lily Of The Valley stamp set. Pulling in black for a striking contrast, I head embossed the sentiment in gold and trimmed the cardstock down to a sentiment strip.

I grabbed some orange and gold card stock to pull in those colors for my card and sentiments strip. I trimmed the paper down to make little strips to add to the right side of my card panel.

On my white card panel, I sponged on a little orange ink to make a halo around my popped up orange bouquet. The sentiment was added over the focal image with foam tape as well. Love the simplicity of this card.

Make sure to leave a comment on each designers blog for each day of sneak peeks. There are two chances to win one of the $15 gift certificates. Comment on each blog and on the Reverse Confetti’s Facebook page. Winners will be announced at 5:00pm on March 7th on the Reverse Confetti blog and Facebook page.

Thanks for stopping by everyone. See you back here tomorrow for another sneak peek. Good luck!

Hero Arts Spring 2021 Catalog Release and Blog Hop

February 17, 2021

Hey everyone. Today is the day. The Hero Arts Spring 2021 Catalog is here. I’m thrilled to share sample cards from products from the release. We also have some additions to the Unity Collection that are just beautiful. To celebrate the release we are having a blog hop.

My first card is featuring the Flower Power stamp from Hero Arts, Pocono Pam and myself. This stamp is a layering stamp were you can stamp that really packs a punch. It also have an outline layer for the flowers which you can color in with any medium. I love the design of this stamp and I hope you do too.

For my second card I’m sharing the Hello There die and stamp set. I’m a HUGE fan of mixing fonts for sentiments so this is a perfect win for me. I die cut out the hello there and heat embossed it several times in gold embossing powder. The thickness of doing this really turns the sentiment into a think embellishment. A simple smaller sentiment below really is all I need for this clean and simple card.

And for my last card. I mean during the current state of affairs we really need to stay strong and focused. The Stay Strong Anchor stamp and cut is perfect. This simple yet beautiful small set can be the focal point of your card without a lot of fuss. I kept my card on the masculine side to show that this set is very gender neutral. Paring it with the Sea and Sky stencil allowed for a little it of movement in the card without taking away from the focal point.

Make sure to visit each person along the hop and get inspired. Comment on the hop by Wednesday, February 24th at 11:59pm pst for a chance to win one of three $50 gift certificates to the Hero Arts store. The more blogs you leave comments on, the more chances to win! Here is the hop participants.
