Have A Magical Day!

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing with you a project made with My Sparkle Blend! This month Amber worked with all the designers individually to make our own Sparkle Blend and this is mine. It is called Judy's Royal Shine! One of the fun things I love about this blend is it is also a great kind of rainbowy mix as well and you can use it for so many things beyond princess cards!

And to go with my blend I have used Fairy Tales Doodlebug 6x6 Paper Pad along with Magical Characters Kit from Queen and Company for my Shaker Shape and my stamped sentiment. I also used Pixie Dust Ink from Catherine Pooler! Have a look!

Happy New Year!

 

So I am now working on New Year cards. I may need to start working on next years cards since I feel like I have a lot more holiday ideas and things I still want to play with from this year that I got later in the cardmaking season! But for today, let's talk New Year!

I decided to work with Newton's New Year stamp set from Newton's Nook, and pair this with With A Bang Sparkle Blends as the basis for my project. I love this mix with a mostly black and white and silver color base, but also  purple and even a bit of blue with fabulous shapes and fun elements to give this such a magical mix feel. I also am using Fancy Frames Kit from Queen and Company for my framed shaker element. I have been working on cleaning up my craftroom and if you are like me you probably have 6x6 pads that are partially used and as we start making cards for the next holiday or next season these paper pads stay partially used and get buried on our desks. With that said, these papers are actually from Halloween Hoopla 6x6 Paper Pad from Queen and Company. While the front sides are very Halloween, the back sides are these amazing bright pattern papers that are totally perfect for this project. I did use A2 Card Layers #2 from the Stamp Doctor to cut my background layers. I colored up Newton and his champagne glass using my copics, and to pull it all together I used my main go to Scor Tape to adhere it all.

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites while they are still available! And as always, take a look on the Doodles Paper Playground blog, Facebook page and in the Sparkle Blends Fan Club on Facebook to see all the fun things going on!

Warm And Cozy Wishes

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating! These cuties are celebrating too! With a mix of Eggnog With Nutmeg Sparkle Blends and Mulled Wine Sparkle Blends! This mix of blends is perfect for this cozy scene!

I have used Coffee Friends Stamp and Die Sets and Cozy Christmas Eve Stamp and Die Sets, along with Cozy Burrow Scene Builder Die Set, all from Hello Bluebird Stamps, to create this super cute and festive shaker card. I used both Catherine Pooler Inks as well as Copics to color this up. I have also used Scor Tape as well as some thin foam tape to create my shaker.

I really do love everything about how well these blends go together and work wonderfully for this scene and personally may need to grab some more before they are gone!

Believe

So today I am playing with Hello Frosty Sparkle Blend and I must say this may really be a favorite for me. It is winter, and it is all my favorite colors and it really goes beyond just the holidays and works all winter long. So check this out.

My card base is Classic Crest Natural White 110lb cardstock cut and scored to create an A2 size base. I am using a new shaker kit from Queen and Company called Heartfelt Holiday kit. I have used the fabulous ornament foam shapes and dies to create my shaker. I have also used a paper pad from Queen and Company called All Bundled Up, which has lots of fun elements but most importantly the colors are perfect with this blend! Additionally, I have used some basic shape dies from Stamps Of Life and from Lawn Fawn to pull this all together. I also used Scor Tape as well as Foam Tape to create some dimensionality with my layers, and as a finishing touch, some purple bakers twine also in my stash from Queen and Company.

I really do love everything about this blend and personally may need to grab some more before it is gone!

Friends Don't Give Friends Fruitcake

Hi Everyone! For your Wednesday pleasure, Friends Don't Give Friends Fruitcake!

Christmas Wishes From Our Home To Yours

Are you all loving this new release!!!! Check this out. I used Minter Is Coming and Frosted Gingerbread Sparkle Blends on my card. I adore all the amazing elements in these two blends and did two different shakers for this but then did use some elements from both blends as I added extra detail on my card.

I used papers and foam shapes and dies from Queen and Company North Pole Kit as well as some red glitter paper and white cardstock that I ink blended with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink. Queen and Company and Sparkle Blends make for a perfect afternoon! You can see details of all the fun elements in these pics.

 

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites from the new release. And maybe grab them all while they are still available! There is even an October Bundle!
