I've been having SO much fun working on all of these samples! The set I used on these first projects is called "Hey, Sugar" and is just too cute! I can't wait to use it on all kinds of projects! 

My card uses the new POLKA PANEL confetti cuts, the previously released Dashed Lines Confetti Cuts, and the new "Hey, Sugar" set! I used an assortment of sugary sweet inks to blend onto the background as well as the Polka Panel. The popsicles are stamped and colored using Copic Markers. I also added some crystal glaze and chunky glitter over the top.

I couldn't resist making some popsicle shaped gift card holders as well. Teacher Appreciation Week starts on Monday and these will be headed out the door with my kiddos with a Baskin Robbins gift card tucked inside! 

They were so easy to make...I just made a small top-folding note card and attached the stick to the back using ScorTape for security. So easy, but so cute! I used the same design elements on these as the card.

For my next project, I used the new "Candles" confetti cuts and the new "Birthday Wishes" stamp set. They pair together beautifully! I loved making the pattern paper candles using the new 6 by 6 paper pad called "Paper Bliss".

The frames are from the new "stitched squares" confetti cuts and I know I will be reaching for these again and again! You will be seeing more of these this week so you can see how fun and versatile they are! Scroll down to see all of the products I used on today's projects and join me again tomorrow for Day 2 of the Countdown to Confetti! Thanks for fluttering by!
