Create a fun confetti look!

I've been a little obsessed with the "confetti" look lately and wanted to show you some very quick cards you can make with patterned paper and circle punches. I actually found the idea to try this on a card from a printing website called Tiny Prints where you can create announcements with photos. If you are stuck for a design, these are great places to look for inspiration!

I looked through the Lily Bee papers and pulled out some various prints in reds and pinks from the Handmade collection and began punching different sizes with my circle punches. I added red cardstock circles to the top first for a dark contrast at the top, and then began layering more circles by degree of color saturation down the card, getting lighter and lighter in color as I worked my way to the bottom.

You could make a set of these in all different colors, and they would work for birthdays, thank yous, congratulations, etc. I like how the chevron circles look like little streamers on the green and blue card!

To finish the card, the word "happy" was die cut out of Lily Bee's Handmade patterned paper with my Cuttlebug machine with a Papertrey Ink Wonderful Words die, then I stamped "today" over the die cut with the Double Dutch clear stamps. I used Papertrey's Rustic White cardstock.

Give the confetti look a try on your next card, it's an easy design to put together for a last minute card that you might need! Visit the Lily Bee blog for more card and layout ideas!
