The July 2024 New Release is now available for purchase in The Greeting Farm Store! This month we introduced 3 new stamp sets. Our first set called FAIRY BDAY ANYA features a gorgeous fairy ready to wish your recipient a Fairy Happy Birthday. Next, we showcased IMPECKABLE with adorable birds, a garden box with flowers, and 3 sentiments. Lastly, we introduced SCHOOL COUPLE because August is right around the corner and kids are headed back to school.

Today I'm sharing a slimline card I made using the new School Couple set. I love how cute they are and especially Ians little Varsity jacket. I put these cuties onto a slimline scene that has 3 star shaped windows in the back ground. I filled each window with coordinating paper and added some cute accents.

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.

There will be a $15 Reverse Confetti gift certificate  for one lucky blog commenter, who hops along and comments on each Designers Countdown to Confetti Sneak Peeks. Comments will be closed on the 7th at noon with a winner announced at 5pm CST. There’s a second prize for those who comment on the Reverse Confetti FB so head on over Reverse Confetti Facebook
