Happy New Year!

So I am now working on New Year cards. I may need to start working on next years cards since I feel like I have a lot more holiday ideas and things I still want to play with from this year that I got later in the cardmaking season! But for today, let's talk New Year!

I decided to work with Newton's New Year stamp set from Newton's Nook, and pair this with With A Bang Sparkle Blends as the basis for my project. I love this mix with a mostly black and white and silver color base, but also  purple and even a bit of blue with fabulous shapes and fun elements to give this such a magical mix feel. I also am using Fancy Frames Kit from Queen and Company for my framed shaker element. I have been working on cleaning up my craftroom and if you are like me you probably have 6x6 pads that are partially used and as we start making cards for the next holiday or next season these paper pads stay partially used and get buried on our desks. With that said, these papers are actually from Halloween Hoopla 6x6 Paper Pad from Queen and Company. While the front sides are very Halloween, the back sides are these amazing bright pattern papers that are totally perfect for this project. I did use A2 Card Layers #2 from the Stamp Doctor to cut my background layers. I colored up Newton and his champagne glass using my copics, and to pull it all together I used my main go to Scor Tape to adhere it all.

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites while they are still available! 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!

I do hope you enjoy this project and can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs!

Christmas Wishes From Our Home To Yours

Are you all loving this new release!!!! Check this out. I used Minter Is Coming and Frosted Gingerbread Sparkle Blends on my card. I adore all the amazing elements in these two blends and did two different shakers for this but then did use some elements from both blends as I added extra detail on my card.

I used papers and foam shapes and dies from Queen and Company North Pole Kit as well as some red glitter paper and white cardstock that I ink blended with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink. Queen and Company and Sparkle Blends make for a perfect afternoon! You can see details of all the fun elements in these pics.

 

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites from the new release. And maybe grab them all while they are still available! There is even an October Bundle!

Celebrate The Little Things

Hi Everyone! I really love all things Fall. Today I have played with a fabulous stamp set from Clearly Besotted called Ring Around Autumn with Sparkle Blends Autumn Harvest Mix! I have used my Copics to color up the Fall wreath. I then fussy cut the center out of the Fall wreath. I have used a metallic gold paper and circle dies and foam shaker circle shapes and dies from Queen and Company. I have attached everything together with Scor Tape.

This shaker mix is definitely a favorite for me! It is really the perfect mix for all fall projects. You can see all the wonderful elements here!

Happy Halloween!

Hi Everyone! Today I am in a bit of a Halloween mood! After all it is only 90 degrees here in New Mexico, so that autumn breeze is really putting the Halloween thrill in the air! Ok, maybe not, but I am still already feeling the Fall and Halloween spirit.

For this project I have used Spooky Village Stamps and Dies from Lawn Fawn along with the Lawn Fawn Cloud Stencil and Heffy Doodle Circle Marquee Stencil and of course  Sparkle Blends You Make Me Batty Mix! I have used my Copics to color up the houses as well as the little trick or treaters. I used Distress Oxides to create my sky background. I have also used Lawn Fawn rolling hills die cut for my ground. I used the Lawn Fawn matching dies to cutout my pieces, and have attached everything together with Scor Tape.

I adore all the fun elements in this shaker mix! It is so perfect for all those fun Halloween scenes! You can see all the wonderful elements here!

Autumn Leaves & Pumpkins Please

For this project I have combined two different stamp sets from Clearly Besotted called Ring Around Autumn and Scene It Around with Sparkle Blends Autumn Harvest Mix! I have used my Copics to color up the scene as well as the little fall characters. I then fussy cut the fun little characters. I have also used a 6x6 paper pad from Queen and Company called Halloween Hoopla, as well as dies from Stamps of Life and circle dies and foam shaker circle shapes and dies from Queen and Company. I have attached everything together with Scor Tape.
