If you haven't seen it, OMG go look!!!! It is fabulous! And I have been eagerly waiting to purchase the new release from Clearly Besotted. It went live yesterday and we are talking cuteness overload! I am playing with some of their most recent past release stamp sets for this project while i wait for my order. Have a look at what I created!

I am using the new blend called Subtle Rainbow. You all know I totally have a thing for rainbows and of course I HAD to use this one first! I am also using from Clearly Besotted called Brighter Days and Freshwater Friends. I am also using a fabulous die from Spellbinders that I finally got and have been wanting from the moment I saw it! The dot for the I is actually attached to the rest of the word so you don't lose your dot, which of course, I always do!

I really adore how this came out!

Happy Birthday To You

Happy Saturday Sparkle Blends Fans! I don't know about you but I never seem to have enough birthday cards on hand. So I have this fun one for you today. It is featuring a Sparkle Blend called Amber's Birthday Bash Sparkle Blend. This is such an amazing blend and I am finding it goes with so much! I am using a cover plate die from Taylored Expressions along with an older Lawn Fawn Frames set and stamps for both the presents and the sentiment from Taylored Expressions. I did my stamping with Versafine Ink and then heat embossed using my Gina K. Clear Fine Embossing powder to make those elements pop a bit. Have a look!

 

 

I really adore how this came out!

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!

Have A Magical Day!

I don't know about you, but one of my most favorite holidays of the entire year is National Scrapbook Day! So many companies are celebrating with all kinds of giveaways, challenges, contests, etc. So for me it truly IS a magical day. I am playing with Amber's Birthday Bash Sparkle Blend today along with my Magical Characters Kit from Queen and Company. From this set I have used the bow die as well as the foam shaker, along with the paper pad that comes with the kit and the outline die set which is sold separately. Additionally I have used some solid papers from Beach Bound Solids and Winter Wonderland Solids 6x6 Paper Pads. I am using one of the Queen and Company sketches for the Sketch Challenge they have posted for NSD. Amber's Birthday Bash is truly THE perfect blend for this project! It totally works with all the pieces and all the colors and I love how it all just comes together!

I really adore how this came out!

Have A Fintastic Birthday

Happy Saturday Everyone! So I wanted to start out your weekend with something Fin-Tastic! Ok I couldn't resist. I am still playing with slimline cards and today I am going vertical. For this project I am using slimline dies from Queen and Co. for my card layers, along with a slim line paper pad for my patterned paper. I am combining that with a stamp set from Kraftin Kimmie called Oceans Of Love for my images and sentiment. I have colored up these fun friends with my Copics. For this shaker I am using a really thin foam tape that if you take off both sides of the adhesive backing, you can get the tape to bend, making it easier to create circle shaped shaker windows. Thank You Alison Heikkila for this amazing tip during your FB live the other night! I am using Ocean Beauties Sparkle Blends for my sequin mix for the three shaker compartments. There are so many amazing things in this blend!I even attached to the acetate on the outside of the shaker windows the adorable pink narwhals. I love them so much. I am also using a single sheet of acetate along with additional foam to pull this all together.Now I did use liquid glue to attach my top layer to my acetate layer. I have been finding it just gives me a little more time and wiggle room to get my layers in place better.

 

And here are a few close ups so you can get a better look at  this fabulous blend!

 

So, what do you think? I really love how this came out and will need to be adding some more slimline dies to my stash.

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!

Just Keep Swimming

Happy Monday Sparkle Blends Fans!I do hope your day has gone swimmingly!
Ok, I couldn't resist! So have you started playing with slim line cards yet? I have just started and it is a bit overwhelming and freeing all at the same time to learn how to play with a new size and shape of card base, and when it is one that is as large as this, it definitely takes a little getting used to.

For this project I am using slimline dies from Queen and Co. for my card layers, along with a slim line paper pad for my patterned paper. I am combining that with an older Stamps Of Life Stamp and Die Set for my fish and sentiment. I have colored up these fun friends with my Copics, and used my favorite Circles Shaker Shapes set from Queen and Co. for the round foam for my shaker circles. I am using Ocean Beauties Sparkle Blends for my sequin mix for the three shaker compartments. To be perfectly honest, there are so many amazing things in this blend that I don't even think they are all in here in these three spots! I am also using a single sheet of acetate along with additional foam to pull this all together.

 

And here are a few close ups so you can get a better look at  this fabulous blend!

So, what do you think? I really love how this came out and will definitely be spending more time on these bigger slim line cards!

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!

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.

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. 

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 coming soon, and it 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!
