PTI Make It Monday #155: Create your own confetti with dies

This month's Make-It-Monday challenge is hosted by the very talented Danielle Flanders.  She has shown us a fabulous idea of using our dies to cut our own confetti for use on our cards or other projects.  If you would like to check things out for yourself, you can find all the info here.

Danielle's showcase card was so fun and festive, I just couldn't help CASEing it … twice!  The first card I made followed Danielle's card quite literally.  I didn't use washi tape as Danielle had, but instead just randomly glued my confetti on the  card.




For the second card, I used clear packaging tape instead of washi to gather a random grouping of confetti.  Then I filled in with some small confetti and topped the remaining sticky spots with clear glitter.  



I love the festive look the glitter adds to the confetti!



I have been making an effort to decorate the inside of my cards lately, and if I remember, decorate the envelope too.  :)




Thanks ever so much for stopping by!

PTI Make It Monday #154: One-layer Cards

This month's Make-It-Monday challenge is hosted by Erin Lincoln.  She is just fabulous and has provided some tips on how to add dimension and interest to our one-layer cards.  If you would like to check things out for yourself, you can find all the info here.



Having just received my new Make-It-Market kit, I couldn't wait to break out that gorgeous impression plate.  I used it here with plain 'ole Stampers Select card stock.  Isn't it gorgeous?!?  I added some colorful flowers from Bold Bouquet along with a pretty script sentiment.



I even went the extra mile to decorate the inside of the card and make a matching envelope as well.



Thanks ever so much for stopping by!
