Yellow Rose Shaker

Hello! It's Alison, and today I have a cheery card for you to check out. I used the "Sunshine" Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground, along with the Rose Gift stamp from Stampendous. Yellow brings happiness, so I am thinking this card could be the ray of sunshine that someone needs.

I colored my roses with Zig Clean Color Markers and then fussy cut them out. Of course, the "Sunshine" Sparkle Blend was the perfect choice to go with these roses, as it has different shades of yellow, whites, gold, and iridescent sequins in it. There are even some butterflies, which you can see in my photos.

I used scrap patterned paper that I had in my stash (it feels so good to use scraps, doesn't it?) and i kept my card base white. My sentiment is from Stampendous' "From My Heart" stamp set which I stamped in brown.

One of my favorite shaker window shapes is definitely oval. It's simple and elegant, and I like to make my stamped images curve around it. After I assembled my card, I added some sequins to the outside, adhering the them with On Point Glue from Imagine.

Sunshine and Spring Time

Hey Doodle fans.  It's EK from ekgorman designs, and I have the honor of guest designing agin over at Doodle's Paper Playground with a few of their newly released Sparkle Blend sequin mixes.  I decided to create a double shaker today using some of the beautiful spring themed blends.

Today I pulled out the Sparkle Blend Packs

Springtime

and

Sunshine

I started by stamping out this sweet little Love Muffin stamp set from Your Next Stamps onto some watercolor paper.

Then using my xacto knife and my nippers, I trimmed out the frosting on the the little cupcake.

I colored in the rest of the image using my Zig Watercolor brush pens.

I then die cut out a frame in some teal paper, added some acetate, and adhered in the center of it my stamped image.  Using three dimensional tape, I created boarders around the frosting and around the frame so I could add two separate blends.

Inside the frosting I added the new Springtime Sparkle Blend mix with its soft pinks and pastel colors.  In the larger area I added the new Sunshine Sparkle Blend sequin mix.

I just love how this card came out today.  I think it the colors are just so much fun and perfect for this time of year!

Thanks for peeking in today.  Make sure you pop over to White Rose Crafts, the exclusive carrier of the Sparkle Blend sequins and check out all that they are carry.

Graphic Butterfly Shaker

Hello! Alison here. Today I am sharing a new shaker card with you, but it has more of a graphic feel to it. I have been wanting to put some new spins on the traditional "pretty" shaker. There's nothing wrong with pretty, but I enjoy experimenting and pushing boundaries. I realized that I hadn't used the new "Sunshine" Sparkle Blend yet, so I used that as my inspiration for this card.

I went through some of the background panels I made ages ago, and came across this one that was made with the re-inkers for Radiant Neon inks from Imagine. The initial background was kind of plain, so I used a few background stamps from Stampendous to add some interest. Check out the 6" x 6" Cling Mesh Stamp and the Quest Texture Cube to see what I used. For inks, I chose Tangelo Memento Ink and Abandoned Coral Distress Ink.

Here you can see some of what's inside the cheerful "Sunshine" Sparkle Blend. There are white opaque opalescent butterflies, shades of yellow sequins, confetti, golden stars, glitter sequins, and more. I especially love the neon yellow sequins that comes in 2 sizes. They look like they're glowing! the butterfly die cut that I used is from the Stampendous Lilac Die Set.

For my sentiment, I used one from Stampendous' Wonderful Guy stamp set, and embossed it with Carnelian PearLustre embossing powder. I backed the shaker with an old piece of Basic Grey patterned paper. Around the border of my card base, I inked Abandoned Coral on each side.

I really love the graphic look of this card, and I am definitely going to see how far I can push this style. This Friday, there will be a Doodles Paper Playground Blog Hop, showcasing the April release. I hope you will join us.

Happy Everything

Hello everyone, Kelli here today with a card featuring two new sparkle blends from this months release.  They are Sunshine and Emerald (May Birthstone)!  They are so super awesome!!!  Emerald is a favorite of mine, not only because it's my favorite stone but because my oldest daughter and son-in-love both have birthdays in May!

I made my card using scraps of paper left over from a 6x6 paper pad from Bo Bunny called Something Splendid.  I then made a frameless shaker using left over packaging plastic.

To be honest I snuck some Aquamarine sparkle blends in there too!!!  SHHHH don't tell anyone!!  😉. I then stamped my sentiment on another scrap of paper left from the same pad and cut the banner shape.  The sentiment and banner are from a stamp set from MayMay Made It, called Happy.
