Hey there Arties!!! I’m happy to share a quick five minute card with you using the bokeh effect technique and two small stamps from the Huggable stamp set from Reverse Confetti!
The bokeh effect is a photography technique that adds light to a background in varying opacities. Here’s an example.
Read moreHey there Artie! Glad you could stop by for a little fun with a Pretty Mean Card. The Love You More - Heart Dance stamp set can be very sweet!! But what if you want to be playfully mean? Since I'm a fairly ornery person, I like to use my stamps in fun and unexpected ways. Today, these two dancers suareed too close to the edge of love.

These are the Revese Confettie supplies I used for this project:

Read moreHey there Artie! Today I’m back with a new Reverse Confetti release called, Snowflakes Stamp Set and Confettie Cuts. You can only purchase these through Reverse Confettie’s wite here.
In order to truly highlight the beauty of this exclusive release, I decided to stamp these snowflakes in silhouette against a glowing blue background. I started out by brushing on some dark blue ink on a piece of lighter blue card stock in a vignette. I then stamped out the snowflakes for a background all over the panel in the same dark blue ink.
Next, I used the coordinating Confetti Cuts to cut out some snowflakes from the lighter blue card stock. I created a narrow belly band with a white sentiment from the stamp set, “Warm Wishes.” I popped it up on the front of the card panel finished it off by adding some of the snowflake die cuts to the front of the panel.

Hey Artie! Great to have you on the blog today. I want to share a card with you that highlights this month’s Reverse Confetti release. I saw Ilina Crouse do a vertical set up the same way, so I cased her card.
This layering look is out of my regular style, as are the cute images, but I really liked this set up.
I colored the kitties with warm grays from Copic. I die cut them with the coordinating die and adhered them to an angled panel I had embossed with the Stitched Burst Cover Panel. Then, I stacked 4 Warm Hugs die cuts and colored them blue-green. To finish off the card, I added some blue-green sequins. And I’m thrilled with the result.

Hey there Artie! Welcome to the November release blog hop for Reverse Confetti It has been a fun week of sneak peeks and we have finally arrived at the release day. Everything is live now at the links below!
I have a cute set of birds and a fantastic stitched cover panel today for you at Del & Artie. I’m visiting my mom in Missouri and had to photograph today’s card using a different background. But the card made me smile, so I think it’ll be ok!
For this project, I used these Items from the release:
I stamped out the birds on a piece of cardstock and colored a bunch of them in. I picked the three I liked best for the project and die cut them out. Next I colored them in with Copic markers to match the paper. I used the cover plate die to make a panel of with the burst design. Then i stacked it on top of some patterned paper from this month’s release. Finally, I adhered it all to the front of an A2-sized card base!

For this project, I used the Huggable Stamps and coordinating dies! These cute little foxes (they could be skunks if you color them differently) I stamped and colored in with Copic markers. I scored the small panel with a bone folder for some interest. Next, I laid down a piece blue-violet gingham patterned paper from the Winter Wonder paper pack. Then, I popped them up on some dimensional adhesive finished with a sentiment from the Huggable Stamp Set.

Hey there Artie!!! These Reverse Confetti November 2019 release peeks have been fantastic across the hop!!! I hope you enjoy them, too! The products are gorgeous and the designs I have seen really showcase them beautifully. These will be available for purchase on November 8th.
For this project, I used the Thank You dies and the sprigs from the Beautiful Memories Stamps! This unique die combo has a thicker shadow than others I have seen. I stamped and embossed the sprigs on some blue raspberry cardstock with clear embossing powder. Then, I blended a vignette of blue ink around the edges. I die cut the shadow out of white cardstock and the letters out of blue raspberry. To finish off the card, I popped up the letters on some foam tape and added some fortune teller stones on the front.

For this post, I used the Beautiful Memories Stamps and coordinating dies! These are gorgeous flowers I stamped in Daydream ink on watercolor paper and then used a water pen to pull out the color and add a bit of shading. I ran the panel through my die cutter 4 times to partially die cut each image. Then, I popped them up on some dimensional adhesive and added a belly band with an embossed sentiment from Beautiful Memories.

Hey there Artie!! Great to see you again. Welcome to Del & Artie’s segment of the Hero Arts November 2019 My Monthly Hero Blog Hop and Giveaway! How exciting to share this month’s kit with you on launch day! I subscribed to this kit 15 months ago and look forward to playing with it every month. For today’s cards, I used only the main kit! No add-ons!! Actually, I don’t have the add-ons, but you can GET THEM ALL by clicking on the picture below.
We will give away one $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, November 10th at 11:59pm pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.
This kit is valued at over $81.50 and sells for $34.99. You get so much packed into the kit every month and they are always a load of fun!! In this month you will receive:
6" x 8" Clear Stamp Set
13 Coordinating Frame Cut Dies
1 Doorway Fancy Die
5 Fancy Dies
2 Plastic Ornaments
6 Envelopes (Size A10)
6 Glassine Bags
1 Glitter Lacquer Pen
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there…
The first card, inspired by the still of Christmas Eve, features the door die cut in half to create a fire place with stockings a tree and two pups. You can actually get two fire places out of one die cut with this door die. Just flip the bottom up and voila!
I used Copic markers to color in this card and die cut all the images, popping them up on foam tape. The sentiment comes from the kit and I fussy cut it. I backed the panel with some Hero Arts Azalea cardstock
For my second card, I used the door die to create a card panel, and then I colored it in with Copic markers. The wreath and potted plants come in the kit, too!! This die can be used to decorate gift bags, too, but it works perfectly for cards.
For my third card, I did some masking, so that the panel is just one layer. I started by stamping the ribbon down the staircase. Then the staircase behind it and the tree behind the staircase. Next, I stamped the pup and rug, and the chair image behind it. Afterward, I used my Scor Buddy and a bone folder to create the look of a paneled wall behind it all.
For my last card, I did some repeat stamping with the grandfather clock image on some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. Then, I stamped and die cut the chair and mouse images with the same paper and popped them up on some foam tape. The sentiment goes perfectly with the clocks background.

The next few weeks folks will post a lot of thanks for all kinds of things, but I wanted to say thanks to my little sister, Paula. Her birthday falls right before Halloween. Paula has blessed my life beyond words with her amazing sense of humor and her faithfulness to Jesus, and her dedication to her family.
Read moreHey there Artie! So good to have you with me on the blog, today. For World Card Making Day (WCMD), I took my wife Paula to an all day event with Libby Hickson aka StampinLibby, aka, the Libster of Hero Arts fame.
Besides the 8 fun cards, I have 5 takeaways I want to share with you about taking this class.
1. A lot of went into this class.
Let me say that the Libster is no slouch! She had the entire class working like a well-oiled machine! All the card elements were perfectly packaged and complete. Name tags were handmade die-cuts colored and adhered to pins. A little goodie bag with chocolate and a sequin mix came with the class. She had to have spent a good amount of time die cutting, trimming, and putting everything in cellophane envelopes so that the students could create eight cards in about 5 hours.
