Hello! Today I have a clean and simple shaker card to share with you. I was at a Scrapbook Expo last month and I came a cross the Let the Wind Carry You die set from Altenew. The stamps weren't available, but based on the simple shapes of the dies, I knew I could get them to work for shaker cards beautifully.
I love the silhouette of the little girl, and that large bubble die is just perfect for a shaker. I chose to use the Pearl Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground for the bubble. This Blend is filled with white, irridecent, and pearly sequins. Plus, there are beads, tine sequin flowers, and mylar tubes. It's lovely.
I backed my shaker window with a soft pink harlequin paper that I had in my stash. I also decided to softly ink the edges of my top layer with Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar Distress Oxides, to mimic the iridescent colors in the Pearl Sparkle Blend. I used makeup blending brushes for a very soft wash of color. Lastly, I topped off my card with a sentiment from one of my favorite sentiment sets. It's from Hero Arts and is called You are Loved. One thing I love about this set is that a portion of the proceeds go to the Kind Campaign, to help their efforts in ending bullying.
I think the bold shapes of this card make a statement, even though it's a clean and simple card. I love the Pearl Sparkle Blend in the bubble, though I can envision a lot of other Sparkle Blends being used too, like Pixie Dust. You can check out all of the available Sparkle Blends over at White Rose Crafts, as they are the exclusive retailer. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
Primarily a cardmaking and papercrafting blog featuring both my own creative designs-including the products and techniques I used to create them-as well as projects by the Sparkle Blends Designing Divas team and other Guest Designers. I welcome comments, design suggestions, and questions, but I do ask that they remain respectful and kind.

Sparkle Blend Birthday Tags

Due to my crazy schedule lately, I had to miss the blog hop last month over at Doodle's Paper Playground...I however did not want to miss out on the continuation of the birthday tags I've been creating with the Sparkle Blend birthday stone collection blends.


and


To create the June tag, I stamped the house out on some pale blue printed paper, and then blended some Milled Lavender Distress Oxide onto the tag before stamping in some accent.

Inside the tag I used a little Victorian Velvet Distress Oxide to help bring out the pearl colors in the blend.

The July Shaker card was created with the same Jillibean Soup supplies, but instead stamped out on some red printed paper. I then used Fired Brick Distress Oxides to blend in some extra color and stamp some details.

Thank you for popping in today, and I hope you get a kick out of the two newest tags in the birthday stone collection.

Ice Cream for Summer
Hello! I have a fun, summery shaker card featuring three Sparkle Blends from Doodles Paper Playground to share with you today. I love ice cream, especially in the summer, and the Lawn Fawn Sweetest Flavor stamps are just perfect for what I wanted to create.
I started off by stamping my 3 focal ice cream cones with VersaFine Clair ink in Nocturne. Then, I stamped the rest of my cones all over the background with Gray Flannel Memento Ink. I filled in the empty spaces with hearts, and gave all of the background ice cream happy faces. I also added my sentiments with Nocturne ink from the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Sentiments (the original set).
Next, I carefully lined up the Sweetest Flavor Reveal Wheel Add-On Die that cuts out the center of the ice cream, on each of my three focal cones. I adhered some acetate to the back, and then foam tape from Brutus Monroe to the entire back of my shaker panel. I decided to go with a patriotic color scheme, because it just added to that summery vibe. I used the new Ruby and Pearl Sparkle Blends, as well as Blue Over You, which was previously released. I also colored the cones using Desert Sand and Rich Cocoa Memento markers. This took about a minute to do. Super fast! I added some plain white cardstock behind my shaker windows to seal them up, and applied the panel to a gray card base. I am really loving gray card bases lately. Do you ever change up your base color?
Something I really like about making small shakers is that you can use up the last bits you may have left from a Sparkle Blend. Also, small shakers give you the opportunity to have lots of different Sparkle Blends all on one project.
This card is super sweet, and I just love this Sparkle Blend combination. Please head over to White Rose Crafts LLC to shop for many of these great products and then some. WRC is the exclusive retailer for Sparkle Blends from Doodles Paper Playground. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

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!
I am using June's New Release Sparkle Blend: June Birthstone Collection - Pearl
and a tiny bit of Sparkle Blend: Icicle - mostly the tiny teal glitter sequins.

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.

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
Aspire Petallics Juniper Berry Metallic Cardstock
Copic Markers
Copic Markers
Spectrum Noir Markers
Sakura Gelly Roll Sparkle Pen
