Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: 2 Easy Birthday Cards, 1 Technique!

Hello there, friends! It’s Nina-Marie Trapani and I am back with a brand new installment of Studio Monday! This week features Reverse Confetti’s Big Flower cover plate die, but you could do this technique with other cover plate dies!

I gold foiled a white piece of cardstock with the Big Flower cover plate first using the Gemini Foil Press machine. After foiling, I also cut the cover plate from white cardstock, which is meant to act as a stencil to the foiled design. Using the cardstock die cut, I ink blended through the “stencil” and colored in the foiled pattern. That left the die cut panel colored as well, which created a second panel for me to turn into another card – this is a two-for-one!

On the die cut panel, I decorated in between the flowers with gold confetti sequins. The panel is also matted with gold mirror cardstock and I added a birthday greeting from the Simon exclusive Birthday Sweets stamp set.

The second card is created much the same way, but with colorful gems in place of the gold confetti!

Want to WIN this exclusive assortment of Reverse Confetti products??? Leave a comment on this blog post for a chance to WIN this gorgeous prize pack!

  1. I love the holiday critters…the moose is my favorite! But I also love the cover plate dies….they are so versatile and original patterns!

  2. That Big Flower cover plate die is so versatile! Love the many ways you used it for different looks. Added this to my to-buy list! Thanks for the inspiration.

  3. Beautiful bright cards, Nina! I like the Orange Blossoms stamp set. I think it would be the perfect card for summer!

  4. The multicolored gems to accent the second card are an amazing touch! They really make it for me. :)

    My favorite set is the Ornament Star set that lets you create so many different retro ornament and snowflake designs.

  5. I have to admit this is the first I’ve heard of this company! I had a look and while it’s hard to choose, I’d say Yuletide Mice is my favorite!

  6. Beautiful cards! I’ve never done foiling (just basic stamping so far, but I’m learning!) I love love love the blending on these cards. Using the stencil for the 2nd card is awesome! I’m unfamiliar with confetti sets, but I’ll be looking them up!

  7. So GLAD I stopped over! I am subscribed to SSS, but NEVER receive the e-mails.:( So, I come over EVERYDAY to see what is going on & see the new product! It’s one of the things I look forward to every morning! ;)<3

  8. P.S. I’ve been meaning to do this, & forget every day. EXCEPT TODAY! LOL Would you put a BLOG button on the SSS Store, so we can easily get to the blog from there???? WOULD LOVE THAT!!! ;)<3

  9. I don’t own any reverse confetti products so would be wonderful to win this prize. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  10. Great two for one idea, Nina! Looking forward to trying it!
    Crafty Critters is my favorite Reverse Confetti stamp set.

  11. What a great technique! thanks for sharing. I’m going to be taking a closer look at my cover plates so I can give this a try. As for a favorite Reverse Confetti product, that’s tough. After seeing this die in action it is going on my wish list but the favorite product I currently own is the “happy” stamp set. I love the font used and that fact that it contains holidays that aren’t always easy to find, like Grandparent’s Day.

  12. Love all the very cute character sets—so fun to color!! My current fav is enchanted garden!!

  13. I absolutely love that card. I really like the cover plates, I don’t have any but they are on my wish list.

  14. I have only one stamp set from Reverse Confetti and I totally love it. It’s the DEERLY stamp set. Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful giveaway !!

  15. Love what you did with this background die. Then you made so many cards from all of them. How did you get the die not to cut through the foiled project? Does your machine not put that much pressure on it? My favorite is “Adorned Egg” by Reverse Confetti.

  16. These are such beautiful cards! They look like fun to make also!
    I am always drawn to Reverse Confetti’s word dies (such as YOU). One of my favorite stamp sets is “Snail Mail”. Now I just need to get back in the habit of actually sending “Snail Mail!”

  17. I don’t know that I own any Reverse Confetti products, but I love the big flower cover plate that Nina used today.

  18. These cards are absolutely gorgeous, Nina always does such great work. I don’t have any Reverse Confetti products but I certainly love everything that was shown here. I never win anything but this would be an awesome addition to my collection. ❤️

  19. I just love the Big Flower. It’s so versatile! I’m thinking that it could be done in neutral tones and work perfectly for a guy card too.The pattern doesn’t scream “flower”.

  20. This is a really cool set, I love using flower stamps and matching dies on my cards. I would LOVE to win this giveaway.

  21. WOW!! What a cool set! This will be a very versatile set!!! Love all the designs that can be done w it!!! Awesome design!!! ??
