finish the design by adding the sentiment.
Isn’t he adorable?! Stay tuned tomorrow as we preview more sneak peeks of the February release. Thanks for stopping by!
Color the images in with alcohol markers and use the Log Cabin Pocket Pals Coordinating Dies to cut it out. I also used the insert die to cut out the windows and the door to make in interactive. I love that you can open and close the door!
Use the second biggest die from A2 Diagonal Stitched Layered Card Toppers and die-cut some pattern paper. I used a pattern paper from the previously released kit but you can use any pattern paper you have from your stash.
Cut the grass using the In the Grass Die Set and the Daisy Delights Paper Pad. Adhere with glue.
Add the focal image on this panel with foam adhesive for added dimension.

On another panel of Neenah solar white card stock, stamp the “xxxxxxx” image included in the Dahlia stamp set a few times to create a wonderful pattern. Sometimes, the added stamp images can create some beautiful pattern to use as a background for your cards.

Adhere the pattern on the card front with liquid glue.
Adhere the focal image on the card.
Stamp the sentiments from the Happy Me Happy You stamp set and use the Sentiment Stack II Die to cut them all out. I really LOVE these type of stamp & die combo as you get to stamp a few sentiments and die cut all at once.

Love is in the air and I am busy creating Valentine’s Day Cards. What have you all been up to? If you haven’t seen the new release by Newton’s Nook Designs, y’all need to head on over there and check out all the new products, including the new Love & Meows Paper Pad.
I found a few card sketches while browsing on Pinterest so I thought I’d give it a try today. I don’t normally create sketch cards because mixing patterns is not my thing; but when you have a really cute pattern paper such as the Love & Meows Paper Pad, you can’t help but show it off!
Here’s how I made this card:
Stamp the image from the Knead Kittens stamp set on some X-Press It Blending Card and color the image in with alcohol markers.
Use the Knead Kittens coordinating die to cut the image.
Cut some red card stock measuring 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 and adhere on an A2-size notecard.
Cut a few pieces of pattern paper from the Love & Meows Paper Pad and adhere to the card.
Use a scallop border from your collection and die-cut some dark pink card stock. [Designer tip: this will create a smooth transition between the patterns.]
Die-cut a small stitched rectangle with some Neenah solar white card stock. Matt this piece on some dark pink card stock that matches the scallop border. Adhere this panel on the card front.
Adhere the focal image on the card for added dimension.
Stamp the sentiment with VersaFine Clair ink in Black
Finish the card design by adding some heart enamel dots with liquid glue.
This card is easy, peasy! I may have to start making sketch cards more often since this took about less than 30 minutes, and it can easily be mass-produced! What do you think?
I hope I’ve given you some great inspiration today using the new products from the January release by Newton’s Nook Designs. The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Thanks for stopping by!
Create texture to the heart shaped-glaze by using an embossing folder and dry-emboss all of them.
Assemble the donuts by adhering them with liquid glue.
Use one of the heart dies and die-cut the sprinkles on some dark pink card stock.
Adhere the sprinkles on the donuts with liquid glue.
Die-cut the pattern paper from the Heartfelt Wishes Slimline Paper Pad. Adhere the same on some slimline card base measuring 8 1/2 by 7 (folded on the 7 inches side).
Cut some Neenah solar white card stock measuring 8 1/2 by 3 1/2. Create the white frame by using the second biggest die from the Distressed Edge Nesting Slimline Dies.
Add foam adhesive to all sides and adhere on the slimline card base for added dimension.
Foam-mount the middle donut on the card and adhere the rest with liquid glue. [Designer tip: make sure you are not covering the frame]
Before stamping the sentiments, use the Telescopic Embossing Powder Tool with Retractable Brushto get rid of static. I do this even when I don’t need to emboss my sentiments.
Stamp the sentiments on the frame using the For the Love of Donuts Stamp Set with Black ink and stamp the little hearts with red and pink dye inks.
Finish the card design by using the white gel pen and add some dots and stars to the donuts for added interest.
Who’s getting excited for Valentine’s Day?! Have you decorated yet? I hope you like my card today and got inspired. The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting!
Hello everyone! Happy Friday! I am pleased to tell you all that a few of the stamps & dies that were sold out from the January release are now back in stock at the Reverse Confetti Shop!
My card today features the Poppies stamp set. This time, I stamped it the way it should be without all of the glitter in between.
Here’s an easy, peasy design for you that you can mass-produce! I stamped the outline image first with some Ink-On-3 Fadeout ink. I didn’t want the outline to show but I still needed it so that I can position the flowers and leaves perfectly. I used 3 color variations of peach dye inks to stamp the flowers first, then moved on to stamping the leaves with two shades of green.
I stamped the sentiment on some black card stock with Versamark ink and sprinkled some white embossing powder then heat-set with my heating tool. I foam-mounted the sentiment onto the card for added dimension.
I used some white gel pen and added dots to the centers of each flower for more texture and adhered some Clear Heart Droplets to finish the design. Here’s another look:
I hope you like my card today and got inspired. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

For day 4, we are showcasing the Love Bots Stamp Set and coordinating die.
Do you remember when you were a kid and you were so excited to go to school on Valentine’s Day? That’s my inspiration today! I wanted something fun that kids can make themselves using this stamp set so I opted to do a colorful design that can easily be mass-produced.
To make the card, I stamped the images from the Love Bots Stamp Set on some X-Press It Blending Card and colored the images in with alcohol markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
Next, I used some rectangle dies from my stash and created a stencil on some acetate sheet. I used this stencil to ink up a panel of Strathmore Bristol smooth white card stock with different colors of distress oxide inks. I adhered this panel on an A2-size notecard.
Since this is a “kid-friendly” card, I didn’t need to add foam adhesive to any of the images so I added them with liquid glue. I finished the card design by adding the sentiment that was die-cut using one of the banners from the A7 Banners & Frames die set that I heat-set with my heating tool. I used my white gel pen to add some stars and dots to the card for some whimsical touch. Here’s another look:
