be merry! {reverse confetti blog hop}

Welcome to the Reverse Confetti blog hop!  The hop started back at the Reverse Confetti blog and you should have hopped over from Lisa's blog.  All of the new releases are in the store right now, including their brand new dies!


With Christmas right around the corner (eeee!) "bring on the merry" has you covered on the sentiment side.  I shared my "bring on the merry" gift wrap earlier this week, and now a card is in order:

be merry {reverse confetti blog hop}

I cut into the center of my cardstock piece with a snowman die, and stamped merry greetings to cover the entire space.  The outlined "merry" really pops, doesn't it?  By the way, if the slightly crooked greetings bother you, you could always have a ruler handy and stamp everything out really straight, but I love handmade to look handmade, so I eye-balled everything. I could see making this into a really cute card set, complete with little snowman tags.  I think I just talked myself into it, hee.

I added the snowman's arms and dotted glossy accents and a swipe of white highlighting to his buttons to finish things off.

I hope you like it - your next stop on this hop is Val's blog.  I'd like to end off with a huge thank you to Jen for asking me to guest with Reverse Confetti this month!
