You Make My Heart Happy

Happy Saturday Everyone! Have you noticed that because of so many scrapbooking and stamping conventions being canceled there are tons of events that are taking place online? Well I have become a bit of an online retreat junkie to be completely honest. And yesterday and today I had the opportunity to attend Stamp Joy that was put on by Taylored Expressions. In today's event we made seven different cards and got to learn a lot of fun techniques. Well one of those cards just screamed out to me, saying, I need to be a shaker card!!! So this overall design came from the event. I am not sure which of their designers created the layout but full credit goes to them. But this was my first time playing with their mini slimline dies and this is such a great size and set up for a shaker! Have a look!

All the card products are from Taylored Expressions BUT, see what I did here? I paired it with Annie's Music Of The Heart Sparkle Blend. This blend is totally perfect to go with this! I will definitely be getting some more of these mini slimline as they really are perfect for shakers!

So make sure you head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites as Sparkle Blends are always Limited Editions! 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!

I do hope you enjoy this project and can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs!

Foiled Shaker Cards

 Hello! Alison here and I've got 2 fun cards for you to check out today featuring Sparkle Blends from Doodles Paper Playground. Both cards have a fun technique that I have been experimenting with, which is adding foil to acetate. The result is so cool, and I am really enjoying the technique. The first card shown below is a sample I made for last week's FB Live, which I do every Thursday on the Doodles Paper Playground Page at 8PM EST. If you'd like to check out the entire process on my second card, please click HERE.

This card features the holographic foil (called Iridescent) from Therm O Web, which I used in combination with their Transfer Gel Duo and older star stencil from Kindred Stamps. Inside I used the totally rad "I Love the 80's" Sparkle Blend with a die set from The Greetery's Pinwheel Party Die Set. The shine on this card is insane, and the shaker bits look so cool underneath the stars. By the way, the bottom layer of the die set was cut with white holographic paper, which you can find at White Rose Crafts HERE.

This card is the one we made during the FB Live. It came together so perfectly, and I seriously love it. For this card, I used the Circles and Pluses die from Studio Light, along with Therm O Web's Prince Periwinkle Deco Foil. The Sparkle Blend we chose was Annie's Music of the Heart which has such wonderful colors and lots of black. I used the "Dude" die cut set from CZ Design on top, and underneath, we chose a purple cardstock that I splattered with assorted metallic sprays.

Both of these cards are really fun, bright, shiny, and have a ton of movement inside. I hope that you'll give this technique a try. You'll get some wonderful results! Please be sure to visit the Sparkle Blends Shop on Esty to see the all of the available Sparkle Blends, as well as joining the Sparkle Blends Fan Club on Facebook. I’ll have a new FB Live on the Doodles Paper Playground FB Page this Thursday at 8PM EST. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Music Of The Heart

So today I am playing with Annie's Music Of The Heart Sparkle Blend. This month Amber worked with all the designers individually to make our own Sparkle Blend. This blend is so much fun! It has fabulous colors, plus musical notes, lots of hearts and just plain fun colors and shapes!

I have used the Sparkle Blend in resin to make this fun trinket dish. I really love how suspending the Sparkle Blends in Resin really lets you see all the gorgeous colors as light reflects off the blends. Have a look!

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites and be sure to check out the whole new release before they are gone! 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!

I do hope you enjoy this project and can't wait to see what you create!
