Hi Beautiful Card

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a floral card.

Today, I am using one of our New Release for August - Sparkle Blends: Grapefruit.

No photo description available.
Citrus tones rule in the summer, and this bold, 
juicy blend is the perfect cure for parched projects! 
A base of two-tone coral in every finish you can think of 
is complimented perfectly by slightly rusty orange, 
magenta and just a touch of sunny lemon yellow. 
Imagine this blend for beach scenes or with images 
of fruit and drinks with umbrellas by the pool.


I used the colors of the Sparkle Blend to inspire me on coloring the flowers. I used soft pinks and oranges. I added a bit of Gold Gel pen details to the centers of the flowers and a few dots to the leaves.

Materials Used
Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blends: Grapefruit
Evaney's Stamps Design: Sentiment
Sakura Gelly Roll Pen: White, Black and Gold

One Pair of Shoes Can Change Your Life!

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a fun shaker for those of us that know 
what a great pair of shoes can do!

and a tiny bit of Sparkle Blend: Icicle - mostly the tiny teal glitter sequins. 

No photo description available.
The high shine base of this blend includes gloss, 
iridescent and opalescent sequins and 
cupped confetti ranging from 3mm-10mm. 
We added tons of texture with seed & tube beads,
 tiny flower sequins and heart confetti to give this blend 
lots of interest without the distraction of a more brightly colored blend.

No photo description available.
This chilly blend of white, clear, ice blue and silver. 
This combination of tiny iridescent gem confetti, 
3D clear diamonds, bitty iridescent hearts, 
and gloss, iridescent & transparent glitter sequins
 in a variety of sizes evokes those chilly stalactites.


This is the card I created.
I drew the show and cut it out with a craft knife. 
Then did some paper inlaying to create contrast in the shoe.

Materials Used:
Memento Pen - Tuxedo Black
Spectrum Noir Markers
Sakura Gelly Roll Sparkle Pen
Sakura Gelly Roll Black Pen

Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust Card

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a fun shaker card featuring 
one our New Sparkle Blends called Pixie Dust.

Of course, as soon as I heard the name of this new Sparkle Blend 
I just thought of everyone's favorite Fairy and her Pixie Dust!

No photo description available.
We took a softer approach with this blend, 
opting for an iridescent clear base, layered with transparent, 
iridescent, opalescent and holographic pinks, 
yellows, purples, blues and greens in pastel shades. 
generous sprinkle of crystals, shard sequins,
 and silver holographic stars 
and starbursts give this blend almost a pixie glow.

Here's the cute card I made.

Materials Used:
Memento Pen - Tuxedo Black
Kindred Stamps Never Grow Up

Just a Note Card

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with another fun shaker card. 

Today, I am using the Sparkle Blends - Flamingo Tropic; this card is so much fun. I am so happy to have a tropical blend to create summer cards. This Blend has some beautiful summer colors and little flamingos - so, I just had to make a card with a Flamingo on it.

No photo description available.
Summertime screams bright, happy colors and tropical themes. 
What says Tropical better than Flamingos,
Palm Trees, and Pineapples? 
You will find all three, along with some gorgeous lime green 
and hot pink sequins and confetti in this blend, 
plus some tropical flowers to bring it all together.



How cute are those tiny flamingos?!

You're Beautiful Inside and Out with Sparkle Blend - Sunshine

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a simple shaker card featuring 
one of April's New Release Sparkle Blends - Sunshine.

No photo description available.
A bright, cheerful blend of lemony yellows, 
chartreuse, white and transparent, iridescent butter shades.
You’ll want to use this blend on all of your happiest projects.

I created a slim shaker card. 
Meaning I used several layers of paper instead of foam adhesive to create my shaker. 
I didn't want to create a lot of bulk. I also didn't overfill my shaker.

Let's get started on how I did this.

First like always - I gathered my supplies. I stamped and colored my image. I die cut the sentiments a total of 7 times. 6x from white cardstock and 1x from specialty Gold paper. I also trimmed my pattern paper and cardstock card front panel along with some specialty purple cardstock.

After I have all the components together I start putting the card together. I layer the pattern paper onto the medium yellow cardstock card front panel. Then, I adhered purple cardstock in the center - however, you will notice in a bit I change my mind and move it.

I then start layering the sentiment and gluing the layers. making sure to sandwich the acetate/packing between layers. I did this because the sentiment is so thin and I wanted a thin shaker. I am showing you that the sentiment isn't very thick but it is very sturdy.








Next, I add a bit of the Sparkle Blends- Sunshine to the card front panel. I choose some of the gold pieces, mostly the yellow and the starburst looking ones. I notice that the larger butterfly is reading a bit orangy in the photo but trust me it's a beautiful iridescent yellow. 

I adhered the shaker top to the Sparkle Blend and I moved the purple cardstock to the left a bit so that my girl could fit nicely on the right side.

That's it the card is complete. I did add a few highlights to the girl with a white gel pen.

Ocean Theme Card

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a fun ocean inspired card. 

I didn't include a sentiment on this card  - because I am not sure when I will be sending it out. 
I like to have just a few blank cards in my stash that I can pop a sentiment later on as needed or if I even need one.

For this card, I used two Sparkle Blends: Ocean View & March- Aquamarine- Birthstone Collection.


This vivid combination of cup sequins, round confetti, faceted crystals and 
microbeads in cobalt, aqua, teal and just a hint of light blue 
is just the look we were going for.
 We added a sprinkling of dolphin-shaped confetti to complete the effect.

No photo description available.

This beautiful, high shine blend channels the clear blue waters
of the Caribbean with teal, aqua and sky blue tones throughout. 
You’ll fine tons of glitter, holo, iridescent and 
metallic elements over a base of matte blues. 



Supplies Used:
Sparkle Blends: Ocean View 

Other Supplies Used:
Stamp: Creative Visions Stamps: Medium Whale
Cardstock: Recollections Brand 110lb: White
Pattern Paper: Paper Studio

Love You Card

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here today sharing a Love card with a spring twist. 

Sometimes you just need to let someone in your life how much you love them. Perhaps they are going through a tough time or just need to know they are loved.

I created this card using the Sparkle Blends: Cozy and Sparkle Blends: Spring Fling. I like to combine my blends from time to time.

Image may contain: food
This desaturated blend of eggplant, teal, champagne, lavender,
hunter green & red has the perfect cold weather vibe.
Mainly a base of matte & satin sequins, with just the right
touch of glitter and iridescence.


With a beautiful base of pastel pink, lavender, pink,
 light gold and blue metallic cup sequins, and 
a generous amount of tiny pastel heart confetti, 
Spring Fling is perfect for all your Spring (or wedding/engagement/new baby!)
 projects - especially in the light of the pretty touch of 
whimsy we're incorporated by the addition of 
pastel colored butterflies and faceted crystals. 




I created this shaker card with both blends. I stamped and colored the images in soft colors. I then die cut the word from white cardstock and used a bit of Distress Oxide in Shaded Lilac only on the bottom of the letters. I also punch three tiny white flowers from the remaining white cardstock and add some Nuvo Drops to the center of them. I also add some Nuvo the stamped flowers.

I did some finishing touches with some Wink of Stella in Clear and a bit of detail dots in Gelly Roll pen Metallic gold.

Supplies Used:
Word Die Cuts: MFT
 Stamps by Chloe -Fancy Foliage: Bird & Flowers
Punch: EK Success - Tiny Flower

Hi Shaker Card

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with a fun Spring shaker card perfect to send to anyone.

With a few simple die cuts, you can easily create multiples of this card. I used 2 Sparkle Blends for the shaker - Sparkle Blends: Flower Power & Sparkle Blends: Flaming Sunset

No photo description available.
For a floral fanatic, this blend is perfect!  Flowers in this bright, happy blend! 
 Flower styles range from simple daisies to Fimo slices and holographic blooms.

Image may contain: food
The beautiful hues of red, yellow, orange and gold sequins, crystals, 
seed beads, and colorful spheres gives this blend just the right tone.


So, Let's get started!

I gathered my supplies. Then, I die cut the word HI using my big letters from heavyweight white cardstock and some flowers from glitter cardstock and vellum.

Next, I used some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray in Spiced Marmalade and Some TH Distress Oxide Ink in Squeezed Lemonade on the card front panel that I die cut my greeting from. I set it aside to dry.

Then, I worked on the flowers. I added a bit of liquid glue to the center of the vellum flowers and added the glitter flowers on top. I then curled the petals a bit for some dimension.  


Now, that the front panel is dry; I turn it over and adhere some clear packaging (you can use acetate) to the back. I then add some foam adhesive all over the back of the front panel - expect where the greeting is. Next, I add a mix of the Sparkle Blends into the open area. Add the Light Orange cardstock backing to the panel.


Now, adhere the flowers to the front panel. I added some Sparkle Blends to the center of the flowers for a finishing touch.

Now, the card is complete!
