Pumpkin Patch with Lawn Fawn and Reverse Confetti

Hello friends! Davina here, on the blog, with an exciting interactive card to share. My project is another fun example of the beautiful September Moodboard and a mashup between Lawn Fawn & Reverse Confetti products.

I really love the way these beautiful colors come together. I’ve used them several times this month, in both soft and bold versions, and with stunning results each time. I wanted to use glittery gold cardstock for this camera die and love that I found a curry cardstock, is my stash, that was very similar in tone to pair up with it.

As usual, all of the products used are available on the Butterfly Reflections Ink website. And I will provide links through this post for all of the products.

I started by building my camera using the newer Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Camera Die Add On and the Camera Pull Tab Add On dies. I cut the camera 3 times from curry cardstock, glitter gold cardstock, and a Blush striped patterned paper in my stash, trimming off just the stitched strip. I used the circular lens die from the pull tab set to cut the glittery gold, blush pink, and adhesive backed fun foam.

Next, I assembled the camera. I used LF Glue Tube to glue the gold paper to the curry cardstock. Then I adhered the blush strip to the front after inkblending a little Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink to the edges. I insert the blush cardstock circle into the center of the camera lens and secured with Scotch tape from behind. I sandwiched an acetate circle between the foam stitched lens circle, and the gold circle to create a mini shaker element. Before adding the shaker components to the card, I used the short slot die on the top of the camera for the photo to pull out of.

Then, I added some small flat sequins onto the pink circle before topping off with the foam circle, completing the small shaker element. I added a few other details to the camera face, like the push tab, and the flash with more liquid glue.

Now for some coloring! I stamped my super cute images from the new Reverse Confetti set Pick of the Patch set using LF Crunchy Leaf brown ink, and copic colored in shades from the Moodboard. I die cut the images using the coordinating die set, and added small highlights to the images. For the Polaroid, I die cut the frame and tabs, then cut a smaller piece of cardstock that I masked and stamped a single layer scene onto. After coloring, I attached the frame over the top and assembled the pull tab as shown in the LF instructional video for the new camera pull tab.

I mounted the interactive camera onto my blue and yellow card panel, then adhered my images all over to create the pumpkin patch. I really love how this turned out, and I’ve been playing with it non stop. The brown ink really works well with this color board. There’s still a couple weeks for you to use this color board and link your card into the color challenge on my blog, for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Butterfly Reflections Ink shop.

Thank you for stopping by,

Reverse Confetti 7th Birthday Hop

Hello Fetti Friends! Today we are hopping along to celebrate the the 7th Birthday Release for Reverse Confetti. It is a little delayed due to the pandemic... but we’re still having a party and a great release. I feel blessed to be participating in this Hop as a Fetti a Friend, and hope you love what I’ve created.

I’ve got two fun cards to share with you today using some of the amazing new products. First up is this “Woof!” Just fur you card that I created using the new Corgi Cuties stamps and dies. The size of the little puppies is perfect, with plenty of space for texture and shading. There are few little accessories in the set of of corse I had to include them. I inkblended a simple light blue background to match the patterned paper background from an older paper pad I’ve had called Fright Night. Then I splattered with white ink and glittery perfect pearls. I added an additional paper layer, for a pop of color, and nestled my corgi cuties under the sky and heat embossed sentiment. The bubble clouds are from the Over the Rainbow die set.

Once I adhered all of my layers onto the cardbase using scor tape, I added a few sparkling clear sequins to finish it off.

The second card I made uses the fun freebie set that is included with qualifying orders. It is called friendly rainbows and has a lot of punch for a little set! The main large image had Hello Friend across the arch. Or you can stamp the bold sentiment without the rainbow. It also has a two different types of clouds and a couple of sentiments.

I cut some soft yellow textured cardstock out with the Snowball Cover Plate for a fun bubble look. Then I gently inked the edges of the panel with a darker yellow so that it matched my colored rainbow. I adhered my colored images onto a pastel inked background and popped it up on foam tape so the cute bubble texture was visible underneath. I also think it’s the perfect size to put atop a tall slimline card too!

I hope you enjoyed these projects and that you follow along the entire hop to see all of the amazing inspiration that the team and the Fetti Friends have put together. Thanks for celebrating Reverse Confettis Birthday with us!

Countdown to Confetti Day #3

Hello my inky fingered friends. Today is Day 3 of the countdown to Reverse Confettis 50th Release! I have 3 cards to share with you today all featuring the incredible critter Illustrations by Dawn Machell.

I used the same color palette for all three cards, it used variations of colors in each. For example, the pink is a different shade of pink in each card, giving each project a different feel, even though the same four colors are used. Pink, sunshine yellow, blue , and navy.

For the first card I inkblended a rosy pink onto my card panel and splattered it with water, white ink, and shimmer. I stamped my images from School Days onto bright white Neenah Cardstock and copic colored. After cutting out with the School Days Confetti Cuts, inadded white dot highlights.

I adhered the images onto my inkblended panel then added a heat embossed banner strip. I finished it off with a sprinkling of clear iridescent sequins.

On my second card I used the new Chalk it Up stamp set and matching dies. I also used a new cover panel die called Double Stitched Window, it reminded me of a decorative Polaroid photo, so I created a shaker card with it.

I trimmed 1/8th inch off of each of the four sides and adhered some clear acetate on the back. I framed it out with thick Tombow foam tape, and prepared my panel.

I inkblended my background in sky blues and green before splattering with the same combination as my first card. Then I stamped and copic colored all of my images. I gave a playful dotted texture to these images before highlighting and glueing down my images.

I added a generous pile of sequins to the center and mounted my “Polaroid” over top. Then I mounted the entire shaker upon some pink textured cardstock. I love that the glossy heat embossed texture is shiny right next to the reflective acetate.

On my third card, I used the new Spring Bunnies stamps and dies. I inked my sky onto the upper portion of the panel creating a crisp deep sky. I loved the sunny cloud from Chalk it Up so much, I used it here too.

I created a little butterfly catching scene and adhered it over a pink embossed banner. I used a trio of hearts from the Huggable stamp set, and used those instead of sequins. I really love this trio of cRds. I used so many of the same elements and colors and techniques. Yet achieved such different results in each card.

Countdown to Confetti Day #2

It’s day 2 of the Countdown to Confetti, and I have a new project to share with you. I feel like I checked so many boxes with this bold Easter Card, and it wasn’t intentional.

One of the great new stand alone confetti cuts this release is this incredible Diagonal Scallop Cover Plate. It’s perfect for creating backgrounds. I had planned to use the colors from the brand new March MoodBoard for this project, so when it was time to pick a color scheme, there was very little question.

I selected a deep blue cardstock to cut my panel from, and inked around the edges with chipped sapphire distress oxide ink. It’s not overly noticeable, but I wanted the center to be slightly lighter in color. Next, I inked up some white Bristol Smooth Cardstock in shades of pink and yellow to create a soft ombré background to peek through the scallops. I splattered the panel with clean water, and white and gold ink.

I stamped the beautiful tulip flowers and vases from the new set Tulips, and colored them all in in shades of soft yellow, pinks, and blue with my copic markers. After diecutting, I added white dot highlights to my images. I mounted some of the images onto die cut fun foam to make thick, 3D like stickers. I use this technique often, I love the dimension it gives my projects.

I played with the placement of the images, and had originally planned on using one of the sentiments on a banner. But after seeing the the available space on my card front would accommodate another stand alone die, I couldn’t resist! I used the Happy Easter confetti cuts to cut out this fantastic single piece shape. I cut it from gold cardstock and from some more fun foam to balance out the card.

The scripty font is wonderful, and as I’m typing this up, I realized it’s the same font as yesterday’s Perfect Timing set. I adhered everything to my card front using simple liquid glue. Once it was all in place, I used some more of my favorite luxury matte gold sequins.

Thank you so much for dropping in. I hope you stop by again tomorrow and don’t forget the big blog hop on the 8th.

Countdown to Confetti Day #1

Hello Crafty Friends! I’m very excited to be contributing as a Fetti Friend this month, and to participate with the March Release from Reverse Confetti. As you may know, they always countdown the days until their new Release, with fabulous sneak peeks from the whole team, and a grand Blog Hop on the 8th, which is Release Day!

Today is the first day of the Countdown to Confetti and I have two products to share with you. I made two different cards, both are full of bright inkblended colors. The first card uses a new sentiment stamp set perfect for encouragement cards, Easter cards, or anytime cards really, called Perfect Timing . It has a wonderfully cute script and I created an inky rainbow on some Bristol smooth cardstock for the perfect background. I also went into the craft closet and found some old embroidery floss, in a rainbow of colors, to braid into a tassel. I looped the tassel through the extra large tag hole in a fun new stand alone die called the Scallop Window Tag. It has a great stitched outline and plenty of space to add images or sentiments.

I layered the tag onto some bright white cardstock that I cut with the diagonal Stitches cover panel, then trimmed. I popped the kraft tag onto some foam tape before adhering, so the tassel would have plenty of space to move. Then I finished it off with a sprinkle of luxurious matte gold sequins.

For my second card, I used the new set called Choose Joy. This set has some cheerful bold sentiments, and solid image stamps for creating wreaths. I found some bright polka dotted red patterned paper from the Winter Solstice Paper Pad , and layered a piece of white textured cardstock over top, that I cut using the Scallop striped panel die and lightly inked with abandoned coral distress oxide inks.

With so much texture going on, I decided to use multiple stamped die cuts of the flower and leaves, and arrange them in a cluster, around the sentiment. I gold embossed the sentiment Strength & Love, and cut it out with a circle die. I cut a second circle out of fun foam and mounted them together. I used 3 different shades of red distress oxide inks to stamp my flowers. I found that I prefer using the Distress Oxide to stamp reds and pinks because they don’t the stain the stamps red. I cut everything out with the coordinating Dies, and adhered them in place. Then I added a few more of the fancy matte gold sequins.

I really love the versatility of both of these sets. I was also surprised at how quickly I was able to create these cards. I’m notorious for spending 5-6 hours on one card. But these two cuties came together in an afternoon! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do and stop back in tomorrow for the next peek!
