Life Is Sweet - Fawntastic Creations

Life Is Sweet

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I used a script die from Lawn Fawn for this card. 

It didn't have a shadow die but I cut it from a dark colored paper 

and attached it to my card base.

I used the Scan N Cut to add a large border to create my shaker window.

I re-cut the work from the color card stock I wanted for the card. 

I die cut my two panels.

I added one side of foam tape and attached the paper that 

will be the back of my shaker window.

I added the stamped part of my sentiment. 

I placed the word die in place through the window front.

Then I added the window acetate and the rest of the foam tape. 

I added my sequins and adhered my flap.

I colored an ice cream cone and placed it on the front of the card.

I added a few sequins to the front panel also.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For this project I used the Orange Creamsicle Sparkle blend.

Congratulations!

Hi Everyone! Judy here! Today I am playing with Double Or Nothing Sparkle Blends! And this project is so perfect for right now! This is great for Grads or wishing someone luck on a new adventure. So have a look at today's project.

This Sparkle Blend is such a fun blend that has even dice and playing cards in addition to so many fun shapes and sizes of red, white and black sparkly sequins and beads. I used a Congratulations Die that also has a shadow layer as well as a fun nested frame set, both from Crafters Companion as well as an older fun alpha numeric die set from Craftin Desert Divas for my number seven. I wanted a certain shade of red and a certain shade of yellow so I used my copics to create the red and yellow paper layers. Additionally I used solid white cardstock, black cardstock, blue cardstock and a holographic piece of cardstock from a 6x6 DCWV Cardstock Stack. I love how this has a slot machine, Vegas feel to it. I really love how this came together!

Enjoy A Cup Together

Hi Everyone! Judy here. Today I am playing with Iced Coffee Sparkle Blends! And this project is so perfect for right now!

This project has several different elements to it. First, for my shaker I used a die set from Stamp Simply called A Cup Of Java. This die set is a perfect size for creating shakers. And the sentiment comes from the matching stamp set with the same name. Now I wanted to give the feel of a tall iced coffee, which is perfect with this Iced Coffee Sparkle Blend. 

So what I did was create my shaker with acetate on both sides so that the shaker felt more like a tall clearish glass. For my background scene I used Sunflower Field Color Layering Scape from Hero Arts with Catherine Pooler Inks in Grass Skirt, Lime Rickey, Rockin Red, Tiki Torch, and Limoncello. And for my sky I used Distress Oxides in Broken China and Mustard Seed and applied with blending brushes.

Rainbow Baby

Baby Girl

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I stamped and colored this stork from the Lawn Fawn set Plus One.

I choose this cute rainbow paper because it works great with this sequin blend!

I die cut the panel using stitched rectangle dies and used a die for the shaker window.  

I added a double layer of foam tape on the back of the panel

and laid out the sequins on the card front.

Next I placed the card front on the base. 

I added the stork to the middle of the window.

I choose to do a layered sentiment banner. 

These words are from the same Lawn Fawn set.

I added a few sequins to the front of the card to finish it off. 

This is a great card for a very special rainbow baby!
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For this project I used the Shake the Rainbow Sparkle blend.

Hello Sparkle Family! I hope you are doing well, staying healthy and hopefully enjoying some of the beautiful weather we've been having this week (it finally stopped snowing every other day & was actually 82 degrees today! woohoo!)

We are excited to invite you to join the first, of what we hope will be many, Sparkle Blends Fan Club challenges!

We want to see your Sentiment Shaker Cards! That's right, we want you to pull out those Sentiment dies (or SVGs) and create a fun Shaker card! I'll add a few examples from our Design Team, below 😊

If you haven't caught Alison's Live from last night (Thursday, May 21st 2020), make sure you check it out! She gave some great tips about how to choose your sentiment dies, and created a card from start to finish right on camera!

Do you see that Simon Says Stamp "Let's Celebrate" die that's used a couple of times there? Guess what?! You could WIN one for yourself, plus 2 randomly selected sample packs of Sparkle Blends! 

✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎✨💎

~ You must create a project prominently featuring a Shaker created using Sentiment Dies or SVG files. You may use any sentiment dies/SVGs you have in your collection.

~ The Challenge theme is Anything Goes, just as long as your shaker is a sentiment.

~ Challenge entries must be posted in the Sentiment Shaker Challenge album in the Sparkle Blends Fan Club on Facebook no later than Friday, May 29th, 2020.

Go Bananas!

Hi, it's Judy! Today I am monkeying around with Sparkle Blends Monkey Business! I really adore this blend and am really happy with how this turned out. Check it out!

For this project I used a set from Heffy Doodle called  Chimply The Best for my monkeys, vines, bananas and sentiment. I used Memento Tuxedo Black to stamp my images and sentiment. I then colored up my images with Copics. I used a patterned paper from Doodlebug from their At The Zoo 6x6 paper collection and Catherine Pooler Ink in It's A Boy to create this fun scene. 

For my shaker element I used a combination of circle dies to create my different parts and pieces. 

To see more of the Sparkle Blends May Release, and all the other mixes, take a look on the Doodles Paper Playground blog, Facebook page and in the Sparkle Blends Fan Club on Facebook.

So what do you think of this project? I really love how it came out and can't wait to hear what you think!
