You Quack Me Up

Today I am bringing you some more magic! I was looking for a Sparkle Blend with a blue mix of sparkle and I landed on Baby Shark Sparkle Blend. I am pairing this with with my Magical Characters Kit from Queen and Company. From this set I have used the Donald Duck hat dies and foam shaker, along with the paper packand sentiment that is included in the kit. I then added some solids to pull my layers together.This is such a perfect combo! I just pulled out the little sharks from the mix and presto, Donald Duck!

I really adore how this came out!

Squeeze the Day!

Have you ever learned a new technique, find that you are really thrilled with how it turns out and then want to keep doing it? Well I just recently learned about using stamping, heat embossing and coloring with Copics on vellum. And I am just totally blown away by what a cool effect it gives! 

For my project today I am using a background stamp from Hero Arts called Fresh Citrus Bold Print. I stamped this on vellum using Versafine in Onyx Black and then used Gina K. Fine Detail Clear Embossing Powder and set with my heat gun. I then also stamped out my sentiment, which is from Zest Wishes, another fabulous set from Hero Arts, on white cardstock and followed the same process of stamping and embossing. Next I turned over my vellum and used my Copics to color the back side of the vellum. I then used a circle foam shaker base from my favorite Circles Shaker Kit from Queen and Company, and created my shaker with the white cardstock, enclosing the sentiment within my shaker pouch. I then added my Sparkle Blend. For this I am using a fabulous new blend called Lemonade Sparkle Blend. This is such a fun and fabulous blend! You can get a pretty good look at what is in the blend in the pictures following. I then adhered everything together with Scor Tape and adhered a black frame on both the front panel and as a frame for the shaker. I really love how this turned out!

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites and be sure to check out the whole new release for April that is amazing!!!!!! 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!

Happy Easter and Happy Birthday!

Happy Easter Everyone! Wishing all that are celebrating a very Happy Easter! Today I am bringing you a Happy Birthday Card that is perfect for celebrating! And I am using the new Neopolitan Sparkle Blend!  Ice cream, sprinkles, sparkles, what could possibly be better!

Have a look at my project!

For this super fun project I am using a mix of supplies from several companies. I am using layering dies from Lawn Fawn, papers, dies and shaker from Queen and Company and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110# cardstock from CutCardstock for my white layers and card base. I am also using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Gina K. Connect Glue for my stamping and adhering.

And here is a better look at all the fun shaker elements!

Happy Birthday To You

As we are excitedly waiting for the new release, and Oh Boy is it amazing, I am bringing you a birthday card that has all the rainbow feels! I really love everything about rainbows and really everything about color, so when there are rainbow mixes it is totally my thing. Here is one of those that is still in the shop, Grandma's Knit Sweater!

So I have been playing with stamping on vellum. I am using a stamp set from Taylored Expressions for my sentiment and presents. I am using Versafine Onyx Black to stamp my image and sentiment, and then I am using Gina K. Fine Detail Clear Embossing Powder. I then used my heat gun and you get a super crisp and hiny embossed image. Then I am flipping my vellum over and using Copics to color in my presents. In case you are interested, here are the Copic Colors that match this blend for coloring in matching rainbow hues: R29, YR04, 38, G02, B24 and V09. I then cut out of white cardstock, using an oldie but a goodie Lawn Fawn Frame Layering Die, the frame and cardstock to go under the vellum. Next I also used a cover plate from Taylored Expressions, and used LDRS Creative Inks and Taylored Expressions Blending Brushes to create the rainbow background layer. I attached the layers using Connect Glue from Gina K. as well as Double Sided Foam adhesive to create my shaker space, along with acetate.And here you have the final project!

What do you think? All the rainbow elements make me all happy inside!

Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday!

I don't know about you but I think you can never have too many birthday cards in your stash. So check this out. I am using Judy's Royal Shine Sparkle Blend with Wish Big Sentiment Stackers from Queen and Company and Scallop Rectangle Die Set from LDRS Creative. The papers and layered Birthday as well as the stamped portion of the sentiment all came from that Queen and Company set and all the fabulous layers come from the LDRS Die Set. I have used Scor-Tape to adhere all my layers and acetate to create my infinity shaker. I then used my Sparkle Blend and did remove the crowns from the mixture for this project.

Music Of The Heart

So today I am playing with Annie's Music Of The Heart Sparkle Blend. This month Amber worked with all the designers individually to make our own Sparkle Blend. This blend is so much fun! It has fabulous colors, plus musical notes, lots of hearts and just plain fun colors and shapes!

I have used the Sparkle Blend in resin to make this fun trinket dish. I really love how suspending the Sparkle Blends in Resin really lets you see all the gorgeous colors as light reflects off the blends. Have a look!

It is called Judy's Royal Shine! One of the fun things I love about this blend is it is also a great kind of rainbowy mix as well and you can use it for so many things beyond princess cards!

And to go with my blend I have used Fairy Tales Doodlebug 6x6 Paper Pad along with Magical Characters Kit from Queen and Company for my Shaker Shape and my stamped sentiment. I also used Pixie Dust Ink from Catherine Pooler! Have a look!

If You Are A Fur Mommy Like Me, Then These Are Must Haves!

I really do love combining products from different companies, and sometimes I can even combine things from different teams I am on. This is one of those projects. One design team I am on is Crafting of Hue. Our sponsor this week is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and they have this fabulous stamp set called Nate and Friday Stamp Set. I decided I wanted to do a shaker card with this adorable set so I paired it with Pawsome Pets Sparkle Blend. Check out how perfect these work together!

I Love Showing Love In Sparkles!

Well I am back at it again! Are you adoring the new blends this month! Check out this resin heart I made using Lovestruck Sparkle Blends! What an absolutely gorgeous mixture this is!!!! I seriously cannot get enough of it!

I am still working on my resin techniques and working on that learning curve but I am totally hooked. And there is this moment when you are removing your piece from your mold and you have no idea how the finished product will look until you remove it and when all goes well and you literally do a happy dance! Yeah I am having fun for sure! I will keep you all updated on this as I go with some other projects coming soon! I do totally need to get more of this mix while it is still available!

Something Different

Do you ever find that you have a favorite crafty item that you really love and don't necessarily want to use up. Well I have been working on some different things to do with my Sparkle Blends in a way that I can keep them but also use them. So for today's project, I made this super cute Resin Heart!

I have used the new blend called Rainbow-tastic for this project!  I just love everything about this blend! Have a look.

Now I will say there is definitely a learning curve with using resin and not all resins are created equal. I will keep you all updated on this as I go with some other projects coming soon! But I definitely need to get more of this mix while it is still available!

Celebrate!

Hi Sparkle Blends Fans! Are you ready for some inspiration for one of the new blends? Meet It's A Party! This blend is gorgeous!!!! I adore all the sparkle and all the fun elements that are in this blend. Have a look!

I paired this blend with one of the new HeroScape sets coming out from HeroArts new release called City.  I used oCatherine Pooler Inks in Twilight, Black Jack and Midnight to stamp out my city layers. I then used a sheet of galaxy paper that I have from a Kindred Stamps Limited Box set. Now I did then create my shaker pouch with acetate and my galaxy paper. I then adhered the shaker pouch to my card base and then added my cityscape on the outside of the pouch. How fun is this! And you can use this for lots of different types of celebrations!

 

I may need to get more of this mix while it is still available!
