Celebrate The Little Things

Hi Everyone! I really love all things Fall. Today I have played with a fabulous stamp set from Clearly Besotted called Ring Around Autumn with Sparkle Blends Autumn Harvest Mix! I have used my Copics to color up the Fall wreath. I then fussy cut the center out of the Fall wreath. I have used a metallic gold paper and circle dies and foam shaker circle shapes and dies from Queen and Company. I have attached everything together with Scor Tape.

This shaker mix is definitely a favorite for me! It is really the perfect mix for all fall projects. You can see all the wonderful elements here!

Make sure you grab your favorites from the September Release as well as all of the amazing Sparkle Blends. So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. And, 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!

Thanksgiving Blessings

Hello! Alison here. Today's card was not made by me....not the kids either. If you guessed it was another one of Gene's cards, you're correct! The 4 of us have been having a monthly card-making time so that we all get to play with the latest Sparkle Blends together, and this is what he made during our last one.

Look! He's even got his own watermark now. ;) Gene was really drawn to the Autumn Harvest Sparkle Blend by Doodles Paper Playground. Thanksgiving is his favorite holiday, so he knew right away that he wanted to make something with a cornucopia. Thankfully, I had a gorgeous cornucopia stencil in my stash from Dreamweaver. He was pretty nervous about doing all of this intricate ink blending through the stencil, but I taught him a few techniques, and when he removed the stencil to reveal his finished cornucopia, the surprise and pride in his voice was amazing.

You can see here not only how intricate the stencil is, but how nicely he placed the Autumn Harvest Sparkle Blends all over the card. I should mention that he lightly stenciled some leaves (also from Dreamweaver) on the card base, for a little more interest. He really loved the clay leaves in this Blend, so he focused on using those, plus some of the square sequins. He opted to omit the fruits and veggies that are also in this Blend.

Gene carefully fussy cut the stenciled cornucopia, and then added foam tape from Pear Blossom Press to the back to give it dimension. He also added the perfect sentiment, which is from Gina K Designs' Autumn Wreath Builder stamp set. The Autumn Harvest Sparkle Blend adds a lot to this card, even though he didn't apply a ton. It adds just the right hint of falling leaves, with magical sparkle.

This is Gene's favorite card that he's ever made, and it's easy to see why. He did such an awesome job with his stenciling, fussy cutting, and application of the Sparkle Blends. I think it's just beautiful, and that we'll need to frame it. Please be sure to visit not only the Doodles Paper Playground Blog, but also the Sparkle Blends Shop on Etsy, to check out all of the available Blends. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please

 Hi Everyone! Tomorrow is the first day of Fall! I really cannot believe it! But I am trying to embrace the start of Fall with these Cuties. For this project I have combined two different stamp sets from Clearly Besotted called Ring Around Autumn and Scene It Around with Sparkle Blends Autumn Harvest Mix! I have used my Copics to color up the scene as well as the little fall characters. I then fussy cut the fun little characters. I have also used a 6x6 paper pad from Queen and Company called Halloween Hoopla, as well as dies from Stamps of Life and circle dies and foam shaker circle shapes and dies from Queen and Company. I have attached everything together with Scor Tape.

I adore all the fun elements in this shaker mi! They give so much versatility for all kinds of fall projects. You can see all the wonderful elements here!
