Hi Folks! The last two sets of the Winnie & Walter release are sequels to the most popular sets (Scenery: Big Bang Confetti and The Big, the Bold, and the Happy). I've been waiting for these!! Both sets are combined for this post. The Scenery set includes SEQUIN stamps, and they're in different sizes ... love these! I've used them on this card and it was embarrassing how quickly the panel took to make. Like, minutes! I added some real sequins to fill it out, and some gold thread swished behind the panel a la Laura Bassen. And seriously, how PERFECT could the sentiment be with shiny sequins? It's almost like they planned it that way : )
This card uses both sets, as well as yesterday's Bubble Talk for the word balloon. I thought it would be fun to split up the sentiment and have all the suggestions to "smile" bouncing around the bottom of the card with the confetti.
For the circle confetti you can either color them in with marker, or take the easy way and use the solid stamp included in the set. That's what I did. Just do three or four of each color and you've got a balanced design! I selected a few of the confetti to add glitter to so there would be a little something extra. I picked most of the colors from the patterned paper that's lining the inside of the card (American Crafts My Girl).

Gorgeous! Love your cards, especially the shimmer!
ReplyDeleteBoth are terrific Kelly, FUN designs!!
ReplyDeleteKelly love both of your cards, the twine behind the panel is awesome, something I have been meaning to try. I am so excited for the sequin stamps what a brilliant idea and who does like a bit of shimmer.
ReplyDeleteLOVE both of these, Kelly! The smile card is super fun and creative, I adore it!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy colors and sequins....a perfect combo for these sweet cards! Love the twine...I need to try that!
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I commented on these cards but I just must have been drooling over at Winnie and Walter and never got to your blog. The first card with the ever lovely gold thread is fabulous and the second one so much fun.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Love the new set of sentiments, and your stamping is perfect....you do such a good job of creating movement, building up the sequins so they look natural!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet....I love this set!
ReplyDeleteThese are both so gorgeous, Kelly ... the sequins and big,bold sets are on my wishlist! The gold thread 'nest' and additional sequins are perfect! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove them both Kelly! Love the colors and the string!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun cards, Kelly! LOVE sequel stamps and these are definite must haves!
ReplyDeleteThese are both fantastic. Sequin stamps are so fun, and you always have the right colors!
ReplyDeleteYou've done wonderful things with these sets! Sweet cards. Fully and madly in love with both cards. I can see I'm going to have to break down and get at least two of these sets! Your cards are the perfect 'enablers!' Have a great holiday. Bev
ReplyDeleteHow adorable are those stamped jewels! Really cute cards
ReplyDeleteFabulous creations as always :) Oh so love those sequins stamp set <3.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I go away for a few days and when I come back to visit you, I have enough inspiration to last me a year! Awesome cards my Friend! I'm also in love with your jelly fish and the beautiful necklace you made with washi tape! Absolutely BRILLIANT!!
ReplyDeleteThese are just darling, Kelly! Oh, my, I have been such a bad friend with my visiting because of that darn Real Life. However, I've had an absolute blast catching up with your over-the-moon creations, all the way back to the necklace that popped my eyeballs right out of my head!!
ReplyDeleteOh, hey, that would have been a great excuse: "I'm so sorry that I haven't been around lately, Kelly. Several weeks ago, I was looking at your blog and my eyeballs popped out. One of them rolled behind a heavy file cabinet. Well, of course, I had to find a company that specializes in getting eyeballs out from behind file cabinets and you can't believe how HARD that was. Which, really, when you think about it, shouldn't be that hard because there are lots of card artists who routinely pop the eyeballs out of their readers, doncha think? But, anyway, that took so long ... "
Now, seriously, after my sister leaves the first of June, I am hoping my routine can find it's way back and I'll be able to visit more often. Keep up the FABULICIOUS card art!! Love ya, Darnell
What fresh and beautiful cards!
