Stacey Schafer - That's me!


I was especially inspired by the nautical theme and the use of office die cuts...Reverse Confetti fits the bill for both of those inspirations!


It won't be long now...a NEW RELEASE at Reverse Confetti is coming soon!  Mark your calendars...May 8th!

I still feel like a bit of a novice when creating these shaker cards, but I have an absolute blast making them!   I used some of my very favorite sequins from the Pretty Pink Posh Shop!  Aquamarine & Sparkling Clear Cupped Sequins, Tangerine Flat Sequins, and there may just be a little something new in there coming to the shop on May 1st!  That fabulous ribbon is from Pretty Pink Posh, too...Olive Ruffled Ribbon!
