Using Doodles Paper Playground: Sparkle Blends Flamingo Tropic

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello! I am back with a project using Doodles Paper Playground's Flamingo Tropic sparkle blend. There are some beautiful pink and green colors in this blend as well as pineapple and flamingo shaped sequins.

I started my card by stamping the pineapple on a side folding A2 card. Then, using my misti, I kept the lower half of the pineapple in place and using it as a guide, I taped the coordinating die in place to a white A2 panel laid on top of my card. After cutting it, I repeated the same process with the top leaf portion so that the colorful stamped area would show through the cutout. I stamped the sentiment on the front of the cut panel.

To put everything together, I adhered a panel of clear acetate to the back of the top panel and then laid foam tape over it. I made sure to have the foam tape cover the thin strip between the bottom and top of the pineapple. On the card base, I piled green sequins to the leaf area and pink sequins to the pineapple. Then I took the backing off the foam tape and laid the top panel in place.

To finish it off, I added a few sequins around the sentiment. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Concord & 9th - pop art pineapple, wreath turnabout

Dies: lawnfawn - plastic flamingo; Mama Elephant - mojito, sunshine, blush; Versafine - black

Embellishments: Doodles Paper Playground - Flamingo Tropic

Thanks so much for taking a look at my card!

Using Doodles Paper Playground: Sparkle Blends Citrus Twist

I love how this card turned out!

 I used the quilted backdrop die from 

Lawn Fawn for my top panel and

 used an oval die to cut my shaker window.

I stamped my images and colored them with Prismacolor colored pencils.

I decided to use this larger sentiment from 

Sweet Stamp shop for my sentiment. 

I clear heat embossed it just to give it some shine.

I added all my foam adhesive.

I attached two of my images to the base panel 

so that they would be inside the shaker and 

measured out my sequins. . . 

I was kind of worried that I may have had to many sequins but I think it was ok. . .

I added the rest of my images to the front and also added a few sequins from the pack. 

For this card I used the Sparkle Blend Citrus Twist

This blend is really cute! I love the yellow and orange combo in it and it had all kinds of little fimo fruits!

Birthday Bash

Alison's Random Thoughts

Using Doodles Paper Playground: Sparkle Blends Birthday Bash

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello! Alison here. My husband's birthday was at the end of April, and he loves when I make shaker cards. So, I knew I had to make one for him using one of the latest Sparkle Blends from Doodles Paper Playground. I decided to go with the Birthday Bash Sparkle Blends, because he loves bright, bold colors and because...well....it is a birthday card. ;) In this blend,you'll find red, green, purple, blue, and gold sequins. Some are in the shape of balloons! There are also little stars and microbeads. This is definitely a party in a shaker!

  

Beyond being inspired by Birthday Bash, I had just gotten Altenew's Bells and Bows Stamp Set, and I just had to use that awesome large bow that's in the set. I stamped 3 of the 4 layers using inks from Imagine. Doesn't it look real?! 

My papers are from DCWV, and they have fun metallic turquoise accents on them, which I thought really worked with the Sparkle Blend. If you click on my photo, you can see what's in the shaker a little better. My sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp's CZ Design Salty Ladies No. 1. I only stamped the "happy birthday" from this sentiment. The last word is "beyotch" and while I think that's a hysterical sentiment, I didn't really want to call my husband a beyotch. Ha!

Needless to say, my husband LOVED his card. I am really grateful that he appreciates my creations and always likes to learn how I make things. He's going to be shaking this card quite a bit, I think. Make sure you check out the Birthday Bash Sparkle Blend from Doodles Paper Playground over at White Rose Crafts LLC. Each Sparkle Blend is limited edition. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
