November Countdown to Confetti Day Two
The Best Gift of All

Hi friends! I hope you're enjoying the Reverse Confetti sneak peeks that started yesterday! We're counting down to Confetti when the new release hits the store on November 8.

Today we're sharing another sneak peek of the new The Best Gift of All stamp set. This is a religious sentiment stamp perfect for Christmas to put a little focus on the reason for the season.
There's a little more new here than the stamp set. How about the Plaid Lines background panel? It's available in Big and Small Stripes and YES! They are stackable. I used only the SMALL Stripes on my card so more of the colorful distress oxide ink background would show through.

The new Away in the Manger Confetti Cut includes the star shape that I cut from a Round Stitched Window and the little manger. I added a little circle for baby's head and the manger is covered in Tuscan Gold Flock.
Reverse Confetti has paired with ThermoWeb iCraft products. They have innovative ways to add flock and adhesive to your die cuts just by using your die cut machine and their Foam Adhesive. No special machine required. I love their adhesive runners, ZOTS, and Foam Squares too!
Ready to see more projects made with this new stamp set? Before you go I hope you will leave a comment.. you have to leave a comment to win! 


Here's a complete list of designers with projects to share today.

Pretty Little Studio Indian Summer

Hi friends! I hope you're all doing well! The seasons are changing fast for me here in the Midwest. This week it's sunny skies and warm days that I'm definitely taking advantage of. Here in the Midwest we call this little slice of heaven Indian Summer.
Pretty Little Studio has their own little collection that is a slice of autumn splendor called Indian Summer. It's a riot of fall colors.. orange, peach, yellow, red.. and gorgeous fall blooms. It's a true feast for the eyes!
I topped the background of rainbow striped Cornucopia paper with a Timeless Die Cut Oval Frame.
I embellished the frame with Time Together and Happy Place 2 Florals. I tucked a branch of oak leaves behind the kettle filled with flowers. The finishing touch was a few sequins for some sparkle and shine.

I hope you find yourself blessed with some unseasonably warm weather this time of year. If you are, make sure you take the time to feel the sun on your face if only for a little while!

Waffle Flower November Release!

Welcome to Waffle Flower’s November 2020 Release day! Today Waffle Flower is rolling out their new release that includes 3 stamp sets, 1 stamp-n-stencil combo, and 14 stencils! All of the products from this month’s release are already waiting for you on the website here! If you're hopping along you should have reached me from Galina Filippenko's blog . If you'd like to start at the beginning at get all the details you'll find them here at the Waffle Flower Crafts blog.
This month’s Waffle Flower release is all about creativity boosters! For many of us, time in the craftroom is all about clearing the mind and recharging! With that goal in mind, Waffle Flower packed this release full of stencils and silhouettes designed to feed your imagination! So, take a mini-break from your holiday crafting and take a look at these new goodies!

This month marks the first stencil release for Waffle Flower! For the artsy types, there’s the Ink Spots Stencil (stencil, bundle), Paint Strokes Stencil (stencil, bundle), and Inky Stripes Stencil (stencil, bundle). 

If you’re more a fan of clean and geometric backgrounds, there are 3 builder stencils from cardmaker JJ Bolton: Stripes Builder Stencil (stencil, bundle), Infinite Petals Stencil (stencil, bundle), and Infinite Rings Builder Stencil duo (stencil, bundle). For the lovers of cute and whimsical, there’s Keeway’s Grass Scene Stencil (stencil, bundle), Mountain Scene Stencil (stencil, bundle), and Sky Scene Stencil (stencil, bundle) designed by beloved DT member and cardmaker extraordinaire Keeway Tsao. Just in time for the holidays, there are the Merry Bow Stencil (stencil) and Pine Trees (stencil). Last but not least, everyone could use the new Spotlight stencils series that includes the Spotlight Circle Stencil (stencil, bundle), Spotlight Square Stencil (stencil, bundle), and Spotlight Star Stencil (stencil, bundle). This is just the start of the stencils line for Waffle Flower! You’ll definitely be seeing lots more stencils in future monthly releases!

On the stamp side, the November release stamps sets all have something in common, beautiful and creative silhouettes! These silhouette sets include the classic Herb Silhouettes Stamp Set (stamp), festive Spotlight Holiday Elements Stamp Set (stamp), and unique Power Lines Stamp Set (stamp) by cardmaker JJ Bolton.

Last on the release list this month is a new type of combo, the stencil-n-stamp. Stencils are used to create larger elements and the coordinating stamps add focal points and fine details. Waffle Flower’s first stencil-n-stamp is the adorable Fall for You by artist Cassie Loizeaux (stencil-n-stamp).

We hope you’re ready to see some of these goodies in action! There’s a full lineup of guest designers and team members in today’s Blog Hop! We hope you find some ideas that spark your creativity!
I made lots of cards that I'll be sharing throughout the month, but to keep you moving quickly through all the designers on the list today I'm showing just one card. This beauty was made with the new Inky Stripes Stencil.
I inked the stencil in bright colors of distress ink to remind you of holiday lights! I love to use Thermoweb Pixie Spray adhesive on stencils. It keeps them in place for clean inking every time!

I used the new Spotlight Holiday Sentiments images inked in Versafine Onyx Black to create lots of drama over the colorful stencil. The crisp black inked images is striking against the colorful background.
