Apple for Teacher

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

As usual, I started by die cutting my base panels,

Attached the two bottom panels together,

Added an acetate window and double layer of foam tape.

I am only making the big window a shaker.

I added another piece of acetate to the back. . .

It makes it much easier to place your shaker when it is already sealed up

Then I placed the shaker on the base panel.

I stamped, colored and cut my images.

I am leaving the fronl blank because I do not know if I will

use this card for new teacher, teach appreciation or end of year.

I can always attach a sentiment to the front or just put it all on the inside!

I added some more sequins to the front and love how this turned out!

For this card I used the Apple for Teacher blend.

This is one of my favorite blends!

I love the primary color mix!

Birds of a Feather

You know how it goes. Birds of a feather and all that. Well this stunning new Sparkle Blend called Twilight Meadow from Doodles Paper Playground definitely gives new meaning to that saying. All the different elements in this blend definitely flock together.

Take a close look and you will see some amazing, unexpected pieces in this blend. The deep color palette is so rich that you would never expect to see bright pink gemstones or pale green owls. Yet all those different pieces come together to make this an exquisite blend of feathery delight. My favorite part of this blend is definitely the feathers. So naturally I chose to use a bird stamp. However, I wanted to keep it fun since there are pops of bright colors in this blend. That is reflected in the Copics I chose to color the birds. I tried to match all the bright bolds.

Twilight Meadow is definitely a blend you do not want to miss out on. This blend will enhance any paper craft project and bring it to the next level. Grab yours today and check out some amazing new products in the shop including Sparkle Sticks, Sequin Trays and Bling Butterflies.

Sequin Fridge Magnets - April Release

April Release

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I just love making these sequin magnets.

I start by adding alcohol ink to the ceramic tiles.

I spray it with a clear coat so that

the ink does not run when I had the mod podge.

For this one I used the Gummy Bear Sparkle Blend.

I went with a light green background.

I applied the Mod Podge and added the sequins.

That is it.

Once it dries, I add a magnet to the back

and it is ready to be displayed!!

The large gummy bear from this blend is great on this magnet!

I also love the great colors in this blend.

Zesty Birthday!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Hello! I am here with a sneak peek to

Doodles Paper Playgrounds April Release!

The release goes live on Friday April 2nd,

and you can get a full reveal with Alison over on the

Doodles Paper Playground Facebook page on Thursday night!

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For this card I used a blend called Lemonade!

I started by making a blended background

with alcohol inks on Yupo paper.

Since I used Yupo paper I was able to use the alcohol lift ink

and a stencil to put a design in the background.

I added some metallic yellow watercolor splashes to my base.

I used the Fawn Fawn Make Lemonade set and

colored them with copic markers.

I pieced together this sentiment and

white heat embossed it on the black paper.

I made this an edgeless shaker card so I cut my acetate to

fit on my base panel and create a pouch.

I added the banner and images.

Then I dumped some sequins into the pouch and closed up the top!

I attached it to the card base with some score tape!

I love this blend!

A good actual yellow mix of sequins is hard to find and this one is perfect!

Don't forget to join us on Thursday over at the

Doodles Paper Playground Facebook page for a full reveal!

Hugs: Alcohol Ink Shaker

Hello! Today I have a fun shaker card that could be used for Valentine's Day, but doesn't have to be. It uses the new "Lovestruck" Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground, plus a cool alcohol ink front panel.

I had this fun "Roundabout Hearts" die from Poppy Stamps that I hadn't used before, and I knew it would be perfect with the "Lovestruck" Sparkle Blend. Unfortunately that die doesn't seem to be available any longer, so I can't link it up. Feel free to use a regular circle die if you plan on making this card yourself.

You can see in the photo above, all of the pretty sequins and added embellishments in the "Lovestruck" Sparkle Blend. See the acrylic rounded heart? Or the little cherubs? And of course there's glitter sequins in here too. It's a really pretty mix of pink, gold, and white.

I created an alcohol ink panel using the "Gumball" and "Gilded" inks, mixed with some Blending Solution from Ranger on poster board paper. After it was dry, I die cut the Roundabout Hearts from the panel. I die cut it again with gold glitter paper from Recollections, and trimmed off the hearts so that I could glue the to the main panel, slightly offset. I also die cut my "hugs" sentiment (called Big Hugs Sugar Script), from Birch Press Designs from the same glitter cardstock. I backed my shaker panel with a soft pink cardstock, and mounted everything on to a white card base that I flicked Rose Bud Fireworks! Spray on to.

I really like the simple layout of this card. It doesn't look basic, but that's because of that fun top layer of alcohol ink, plus the glitter cardstock. If you'd like to see me make something like this, in real time, I'll be making an alcohol ink shaker card during my FB Live tomorrow on the Doodles Paper Playground Page at 8PM EST. I'll be using different colors and a different Sparkle Blend that YOU can help me pick out! I hope you'll join me. Meanwhile, why not join the Sparkle Blends Fan Club on FB and share your sequin-filled projects with us there?
