Countdown to Confetti Day 1
Boo Yea & Frightening Friends

I hope you're getting ready for some new Confetti! A new Reverse Confetti release will be available in the store September 8. No worries! There is a little something for everybody.. Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas so you're set for the coming months!

Today we're sharing peeks of Boo Yea and Frightening Friends! You can make LOADS of amazing treats for school, family and friends!

The new Frightening Friends set includes three adorable characters (a devil, a ghost, and Frankenstein) as well as loads of accessories for making scenes.

The Frightening Friends includes coordinating die cuts and lots of cute sentiments too!

The little bags were easy to make with the Bag & Tags Creator. I cut the bag die twice and then scored and folded a line 1/4" around the three sides before adhering the two halves together.

The set also includes dies for making windows so recipients can get a peek at the treats inside the bag too!

The Boo Yea Circle Sentiments are perfect for pairing with the new Bags and Tags Creator Confetti Cut tag die. The sentiment is cut with the circle die and mounted on the tag die (both included in the set).

I created the bags with paper from the new Abundantly Autumn 6" pattern paper pad.

Spellbinders September 2018 Kit Of The Month
Summer Fun!

I hope you had a great weekend! The weather was very hot and humid here so no trip to the zoo for me...but we did go visit my parents and had some friends over for a cook out! I was happy that I had some time to create too with the Spellbinders Kit of the Month.

If you like to craft on the go this kit is for you. It contains everything you need to make lots of cards! And I mean EVERYTHING.. ... things you'd expect like pattern paper, stickers, die cuts.. and things you might not expect like foam adhesive squares, double sided tape, foil paper and sequins. In fact.. I think the only thing I needed to add to make was a paper cutter and liquid adhesive for the sequins. The card bases and envelopes were even included! You can see the entire September kit here on the Spellbinders blog.

Of course Spellbinders has included some die cuts too. I cut the starfish from silver foil paper (also included in the kit). This month's kit is an eclectic summer mix of seaside, florals, and modes of transportation (cars, bikes, boats). A fun get away!

I am smitten with these whale die cuts. I layered three different sheets of pattern paper before topping it with the whale die cuts.

There is lots of bling in this months kit... silver foiled paper and die cuts, silver sequins, and silver word stickers.

The kit even includes enamel dot stickers, and plastic molded flowers.

The papers in the kit coordinate perfectly with the die cut images. There are several frames that would work great as shakers or for layering elements. The little flag on the car below was also cut with a die included in the set.

I told you it was packed with everything you need! I really enjoyed playing with the different elements, arranging them in different ways to create my cards. I actually made all of these while I was sitting outside watching Mr. J. cook! I think I will take another kit along on my next vacation - something to keep me busy while my husband goes fishing!

Finished Size 4.25 x 5.5"

Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash - Halloween/Fall

Can you believe it's September? It seems like the seasons are changing fast. The big cottonwood trees behind the house have been dropping leaves for weeks and it's starting to get cooler at night. I love seeing the change of the seasons. Fall always means another flash of color from Mother Nature.. and of course HALLOWEEN!

If you're looking for a challenge to play this month I hope you'll join us at Reverse Confetti. This month we're looking for projects made for Halloween and Fall. You get the whole month to play along and one lucky winner will receive a gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store!

I have had my eyes on this set called Too Cute To Spook for YEARS! I finally got around to buying it and couldn't wait to get it inked up.

I created a scene with watercolor panels in purple and green. The grass border was cut with the Nuts About You Confetti Cuts die.

The set has loads of accessories.. a hat and pumpkin treat bucket for Kitty and skeleton garland.

I hope you have time to play along. I can't wait to see the linked up projects! Click here to play along!
