Snow Cool

Hi, it's Phoenix! Today, I have my Snow Cool card for Doodles Paper Playground to show you. I used the Sparkle Blends Sweet Treats and Hey Chickie, because I thought that Sweet Treats would make a nice contrast on this card, and because Hey Chickie contains some larger sequins, in some of the same colors as Sweet Treats.

First, I stamped my penguin onto a white piece of paper. Then, I colored him in using Tombow Dual Brush Markers, and cut him out. After that, I cut out my card base and mat, and ran the mat through the die cutting machine. Then, I cut out a piece of acetate, and used double-sided tape to adhere it to the mat. Next, I stuck on foam tape.

After I applied the foam tape, I poured some Hey Chickie and Sweet Treats onto the oval of acetate. After that, I used the double sided tape again, to stick my penguin onto the card. Then, I stamped the snowflakes onto the card in blue, and stamped on the Let It Snow sentiment, also in blue. I really like the teeny FIMO pieces of food in Sweet Treats!

I thought that the front still need a little bit more, so I glued on some more sequins using On Point Glue. I decided that the front looked good, so I decided that my card was complete.

I am really happy with how this card came out! I especially like how my penguin turned out, and his multicolored hat! I was happy that the Sweet Treats worked well with the hat. I will be back on Friday with my blog hop project for Doodles Paper Playground. Thanks!

Let It Snow!

Hello everyone, Ink Stained Roni here and I am thrilled to be a guest designer for Doodles Paper Playground for February and March. I think you're going to love the new release - so many fun Sparkle Blends to choose from.  I wanted to share what I created using the Happy Little Flurries blend.

Don't you just love all the lovely colors - pinks, purples, iridescent white, blues and more. This blend is just perfect for those cool frosty mornings!

I started off by cutting the window in the kraft snowflake paper from Unity Stamp Co. I also diecut a scallop frame out of Rinea Turquoise/Turquoise Starstruck foiled paper and the snowflake insert (Spellbinders) from Sapphire/Gold Glossy foiled paper (also from Rinea).

I assembled the shaker on the back of the kraft paper and mounted it over a card base which was covered with a mat of the same Sapphire/Gold Glossy foiled paper as the snowflake frame. To finish off the card I diecut a fish-tale banner and stamped Let It Snow (MFT) with Paradise VersaFine Clair ink; popped two of the lovely holographic stars on it and affixed it under the shaker.

Just look at that sparkle!!

I hope you enjoy my creation and stop back in and see what else I've been creating with more fun Sparkle Blends.
