I am using Hey Chickie which is a fantastic blend for all your Spring projects as well as Easter Projects. The colors in this mix are just gorgeous! I have paired this mix with a fabulous kit from Queen and Company called Bring On Spring. I am also using Banner Stitched Flag Die Set from Sweet Stamp Shop. Pull all these different elements together and I give you Bright Spring Wishes.

Hope Your Holidays Are Poppin!

Hope Your Holidays Are Poppin!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Hello! 

I hope that you have been having a very happy holiday!

I saw a card in one of my Facebook groups and had to steal this sentiment!

I absolutely love it!

Obviously it is perfect to use with the Lawn Fawn Let's Toast set.

I decided to use a pop tart for this and wanted to add a Santa hat, I created a mask of the Santa hat using sticker paper. I stamped out the hat, applied the sticker and then stamped the tart.

I used two techniques to color the tart and hat, copic and colored pencils and gamsol. I also added fake fluffy snow to the Santa hat.

For the toaster I just used grey copics.

I was able to piece together the sentiment using a line from the Merry Mice set and then used Quinn's ABC's for the Poppin. I colored it in with colored pencil and gamsol to match my pink theme.

I used the Let's Toast pull tab add on to create the interactive portion of my card.

Then I added individual sequins to give my card sparkle!

These sequins matched my pink Christmas theme perfectly!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For this card I used the The Little Piggy Sparkle Blend.

These large sequins are perfect pink iridescence!

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.

Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas

Happy Monday Sparkle Blends Fans! As we impatiently wait for the new September Release I am working on some Christmas cards. It is never too early to get moving on those. So check this out!
I am using Old St. Nick to create this adorable shaker card. I am using a kit from Queen and Company for my project. I adore how this Special Delivery kit makes such a fun scene card. The dies in this set are perfect for making this super cute truck with a shaker spot designed right in. I have also used a stencil from My Favorite Things called, appropriately, Cloud, to mak my cloud background for my holiday truck to drive toward.

Party Like A Pineapple

Hey Everyone! Today I am thinking that I really need to relax this weekend and what better way than with pineapples and sparkle! Check this fun project out!
This mix is called Pineapple Garden and look how cute! I have actually used a Stamp Set from Stamps of Life called pineapple2stamp and a matching die set called pineapple2stamp dies and a 6x6 paper pad called Shine that coordinates really well with the mix and the stamp set!
I used acetate to create my shaker window and foam tape to create the sparkle pouch. I did use my Copics to color up my pineapple, and some Sizzix circle dies as well. Now it does appear that I had already used all the actual pineapples from my mix already, but I think all the rest of the pieces are in there!

Make sure you grab your favorites from the August 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!

Ho. Ho. Ho

Hi Sparkle Blends Fans! Today I am bringing you some more Christmas in July cheer featuring the big guy in all his sparkly jollyness! And I am using the perfect blend! His very own specialty blend, Old St. Nick! Have a look!

For this project I used a stamp and die set that is one of my favorites from The Stamps of Life and it is called Santa2Stamp and Santa Dies. I used the matching die set to create the shaker opening rather than using it to paper piece his hat. I added a layer of acetate behind and foam tape to create my shaker pocket.

To make my santa super textured, I colored him up with Copics, but then added texture to his mustache and beard with a Snow Marker from Marvy Uchida.

This is the first time I have used this. You add the marker where you want the texture and then hit it with your heat gun and it poofs up! So totally fun! Then I added Stickles Glitter Gel in Moon Dust to the brim and the poof of his hat. I am totally loving how this all came together.

To see more of the Sparkle Blends July Release as well as all of the amazing Sparkle Blends, 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!
