Merry Christmas From All Of Us Tp All Of You!

From All Of Us At Sparkle Blends, we wish everyone a very happy holiday season!

This fun-loving little penguin is so excited for the holidays! And he is flying high with Blue Blizzard Sparkle Blends over a snow covered village. This cutie along with his balloons and village are from a fabulous set from Clearly Besotted Stamps called Balloon Bunch Christmas. The background has been created with ink blending of Distress Oxieds in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Black Soot, followed by a light dusting of white acrylic paint snow speckles. The village, penguin and balloons have been stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, using my Misti Stamp Positioning Tool and then colored with Copic markers. I have added my snowy dimension with an amazing Snow Marker from Marvy Uchida, and finally created my infinity shaker using clear acetate and Scor Tape.

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites while they are still available! And as always, 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!

So today I am playing with Hello Frosty Sparkle Blend and I must say this may really be a favorite for me. It is winter, and it is all my favorite colors and it really goes beyond just the holidays and works all winter long. So check this out.

My card base is Classic Crest Natural White 110lb cardstock cut and scored to create an A2 size base. I am using a new shaker kit from Queen and Company called Heartfelt Holiday kit. I have used the fabulous ornament foam shapes and dies to create my shaker. I have also used a paper pad from Queen and Company called All Bundled Up, which has lots of fun elements but most importantly the colors are perfect with this blend! Additionally, I have used some basic shape dies from Stamps Of Life and from Lawn Fawn to pull this all together. I also used Scor Tape as well as Foam Tape to create some dimensionality with my layers, and as a finishing touch, some purple bakers twine also in my stash from Queen and Company.

I really do love everything about this blend and personally may need to grab some more before it is gone!

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites from the November release while they are still available! And as always, 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!

Happy Holidays

So today I am playing with the fabulous Sparkle Blend mix called Lights In The Forest. I have to be honest, this is such an amazing blend and can be used for so many different things, that it is pretty much a must! I have paired it with this fabulous Stamp Set from Hero Arts called Winter Woods HeroScape. These things together work so well for making an Infinity Shaker, which you all know I love doing. I did use a bunch of inks between stamping and blending, so for my layering I used Catherine Pooler inks in Spruce, Aquatini, Hot Tub, and Stone Blue. I also used for my ink blending Distress Oxides in Black Soot, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Faded Jeans. For my sentiment and my black stamping I used Memento Tuxedo Black. Additionally I used acetate for my shaker panel with one inch wide scor tape to create the infinity shaker and finally some blue glitter cardstock from DCWV and my card base is Classic Crest Natural White 110lb cardstock cut and scored to create an A2 size base.

This is really such a perfect blend for so many things, that I personally may need to grab some more before it is gone!

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites from the November release while they are still available! And as always, 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!

Friends Don't Give Friends Fruitcake

Hi Everyone! For your Wednesday pleasure, Friends Don't Give Friends Fruitcake!

I am playing with Sparkle Blends Merry and Bright. And what I love about this blend is that it is a non traditional blend for the holidays. I will definitely need more of this one to be sure, because it works so well for so many different ideas around the holidays. 

With this I have used All Bundled Up 6x6 paper pad along with dies from North Pole Kit all from Queen and Company, along with some circle dies from The Stamps Of Life to present to you this fun holiday card!

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites from the October release. Ok, they are ALL fabulous so maybe grab them all while they are still available! And as always, 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!
