October Release Blog Hop!

Hello! Welcome to the October Sparkle Blends Release Hop! This month six beautiful Sparkle Blends have arrived and I'll bet that you are going to love them all. Let's jump in, shall we?

First up is Boughs of Holly. This Blend is absolutely perfect for all of your Christmas cards. You'll find large holly leaves, glitter sequins in red and green, stars, confetti, and even some flowers! All in varying sizes in shades of red and green.

The second Sparkle Blend is Candy Cane. You'll see white and opalescent sequins, red glitter sequins, and even some tiny Fimo candy canes! I can imagine this Blend being used not only for the holiday season, but perhaps even for Valentine's Day if you removed the candy canes.

Next up is Gingerbread Man. This Sparkle Blend has already been getting a lot of love from the Design Team. If you love the But First, Coffee Blend,, then you're definitely going to want Gingerbread Man. There's lots of holographic brown sequins, gold glitter sequins, little crystals, and even the teeniest gingerbread men you've ever seen. This is the perfect neutral for masculine or steampunk cards.

Our next Sparkle Blend is Bells are Ringing. This mix is absolutely perfect for Christmas cards, New Year's cards, and wedding cards. Or, take out the bells and use this mix for any celebration. Within the mix are silver bells, golden stars, opalescent sequins, and lots of glitter sequins too.

Let's move on to Vixen. This is a feisty blend of color! Shades of purple, lime green, blues, pinks, and opalescent are what you'll find in this mix. There are many sizes of sequins, assorted gems, and even silver reindeer! If you love the Unicorn Sparkle Blend, you will love Vixen.

Our last new release Sparkle Blend is Frozen. Think of all things Winter and ice. Pale shades of blue, lots of whites and silvers..... There are little snowman heads, snowflakes, and aqua colored gems. January babies would love this Blend on a birthday card!

Puppy Love and a Little Sparkle...

DT Carolyn here to share another make using another of the new release sparkle blends from Doodles Paper Playhouse. It's all about love and puppies!

I am really starting to love creating shaker cards. The Gingerbread Man blend,  is browns, cream and golds. I find that they are just an earthy brown but vibrant browns which light up every time you hit the light at a different angle.

I created the frame of this card using my cutting machine. I used Judikins Embossable Window Plastic  and adhered it to the front of my card using tape adhesive. I then found double sided foam tape to form the pocket, added the fab Sparkle Mix Gingerbread Man (I removed the gingerbread men) and started adding all of my other elements.

The Sparkle Blend Gingerbread Man and the Judikins Embossable Window Plastic can all be found in the White Rose Crafts store where the sparkle blends are EXCLUSIVELY sold. I hope you enjoyed my make!
