Happy Little Flurries

Greetings! I have a new shaker card to share today that uses one of the newest Sparkle Blends from Doodles Paper Playground. It's called "Happy Little Flurries," and it has the cahhhhh-yutest (cutest) little kawaii clouds in it. Like seriously, they're adorable. You'll be able to see one of them in my second photo. Since this Blend is focused on snow and the sky, I decided to make a fun little outdoor scene with some Llamas from Stampendous.

I colored two of the llamas and the mountain scene from the "Llama Sweaters" stamp set with my Zig Clean Color Markers. After I fussy cut them all out, I decided I wanted my llamas on the outside of the shaker, while the mountains and clouds were going to go inside. I used simple oval die from Elizabeth Craft Designs for my window. I love the stitched detail that the die leaves behind. I ink blended some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide just around the shaker window.
*Side note: see how the llama on the right has his tongue sticking out? I glued that fimo snowflake to the outside of my shaker window, so that it looks like he's trying to catch it.

Inside my shaker window, I tore some double sided blue cardstock (it has different shades of blue on either side) to create my ground. I love the effect of hills that it gave. I also found a really old scrap of Basic Grey paper that was perfect for a snowy sky. Then I added lots of my "Happy Little Flurries" Sparkle Blend inside the window. There are some really fun shapes and very pretty colors in this mix. If you'd like to see an even better look at this and all of the other new release Blends, please check out my FB Live Video HERE.

I added a few additional snowflakes to the outside (look at how different they are from each other!) with On Point Glue. I mounted the shaker panel to a white card base, after I inked the edges with a teal ink.

I love how this card turned out. I think it's silly, but also kinda pretty. That's due to the lovely "Happy Little Flurries" Sparkle Blend, of course. Have you visited the brand new Sparkle Blends Shop on Etsy yet? Head on over to see all of the Blends that are currently available. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

You're A Star - Happy Little Flurries and Sweet Treats

You're A Star

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I started by picking out some distress oxides that would match the 

Happy Little Flurries Sparkle Blend.

I blended them onto a panel and added some water droplets.

I used the same colors and water colored my little images so that they would match perfectly!

Then I thought that the back ground had to much pink in it for this sequin mix so I used the same colors and created a splattered back ground. I die cut a star window for my shaker area.

I added acetate and a single layer of foam tape so that it is more mail friendly!

I die cut the same frame from my first panel and 

placed it in the shaker window. 

I added my sequins and placed the panel on the card base.

I added my images and a sentiment banner.

I also added sequins from the mix to the front of the card.

I couldn't leave my other panel so I created a matching card with 

the Sweet Treats Sparkle Blend!

Hey freinds!  It's EK, popping in to guest design today.  Did you see that Doodles Paper Playground has a brand new store front?  That's right...they have gone independent and are selling over on ETSY.  Make sure to pop by and check out the full stock that they have!

Today I am playing with one of the recently released new Sparkle Blend Collections, the Happy Little Flurries Sparkle Blends. 

Happy Little Flurries

Today I used this lilac, pale blue and pale pink collection of sequins and snow bits to accent the snowflakes of this winter scene.  I am a big fan of how this came out, with all the different sized bits and glitter!

What is your favorite new Sparkle Blend mix that was released at the beginning of the month?  Let me know in the comments below! 

Until then, Happy Crafting!

Let It Snow!

Hello everyone, Ink Stained Roni here and I am thrilled to be a guest designer for Doodles Paper Playground for February and March. I think you're going to love the new release - so many fun Sparkle Blends to choose from.  I wanted to share what I created using the Happy Little Flurries blend.

Don't you just love all the lovely colors - pinks, purples, iridescent white, blues and more. This blend is just perfect for those cool frosty mornings!

I started off by cutting the window in the kraft snowflake paper from Unity Stamp Co. I also diecut a scallop frame out of Rinea Turquoise/Turquoise Starstruck foiled paper and the snowflake insert (Spellbinders) from Sapphire/Gold Glossy foiled paper (also from Rinea).

I assembled the shaker on the back of the kraft paper and mounted it over a card base which was covered with a mat of the same Sapphire/Gold Glossy foiled paper as the snowflake frame. To finish off the card I diecut a fish-tale banner and stamped Let It Snow (MFT) with Paradise VersaFine Clair ink; popped two of the lovely holographic stars on it and affixed it under the shaker.

Just look at that sparkle!!

I hope you enjoy my creation and stop back in and see what else I've been creating with more fun Sparkle Blends.
