Hot Cocoa Mugs And Warm Winter Hugs

How is the weather where you are? For me it is definitely a Hot Cocoa kind of day! Take a look! 

For today's project I have used Papers, shaker shape and dies from Queen and Company's Heartfelt Holiday Kit nd combined these pieces with Sparkle Blends Minter Is Coming Sequin Mix. This mix could not be more perfect for this project if it tried!

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!

Perfect For Different Occasions

Are you finished with holiday cards and are ready for something different? Today I am bringing you a fabulous card that you can use for lots of different occasions. Check it out. 

I am using Classic Crest Natural White 110 pound cardstock for my card base. As this is a bit of a heavy design I want to make sure I am sing a heavy duty card base. I am doing this a little differently today because my base is a fancy cut base. In order to make sure that I am covering the fancy shaped base, I am laying my piece of cardstock the my die on top and using my scoreboard to create the fold. All of my dies for this project are from Crafter's Companion.

I am then folding and burnishing my fold into the cardstock and then trimming it down a bit. I am then placing my die so that the die goes off beyond the fold so that it will leave the top uncut to create the base.

Now that I have my base I am going to die cut my card pieces out of  Stardream Metallic Silver Cardstock, Stardream Metallic Punch Cardstock, and Curious Metallic Violette Cardstock. 

I have then adhered everything with Scor Tape, and then added a little bling on the butterfly's body.

I really love how this turned out. As you can see this would make not only a great birthday card, but can also be used as an invitation or a thank you, or even as a just thinking of you card. I do hope you like this project and as always, I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs,

Happy Birthday

While I am still working on Holiday Cards, I decided to take a little break and make up a birthday card. So today I am bringing you a quick and easy birthday card, but with a degree with simple elegance. The elegance comes from these beautiful papers, which look wonderful and are fabulous to the touch. So have a look!

I am using Stardream Metallic Silver Cardstock for my card base. I have used a stand alone die set from The Stamps Of Life called Happy Birthday Framelits Drop Ins. This die cuts the card base for you. 

 

Next I have used the die to cut my sentiment out of Stardream Metallic Punch Cardstock. 

 

I then have cut a layer for the inside of my card from Stardream Metallic Punch Cardstock as well to 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches and another layer from Stardream Metallic Gold Cardstock to 5 1/4 x 4 inches. I have then adhered everything with Scor Tape.

I really love how this turned out. I do hope you like this project and as always, I can't wait to see what you create!

Warm And Cozy Wishes

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who are celebrating! These cuties are celebrating too! With a mix of Eggnog With Nutmeg Sparkle Blends and Mulled Wine Sparkle Blends! This mix of blends is perfect for this cozy scene!

I have used Coffee Friends Stamp and Die Sets and Cozy Christmas Eve Stamp and Die Sets, along with Cozy Burrow Scene Builder Die Set, all from Hello Bluebird Stamps, to create this super cute and festive shaker card. I used both Catherine Pooler Inks as well as Copics to color this up. I have also used Scor Tape as well as some thin foam tape to create my shaker.

I really do love everything about how well these blends go together and work wonderfully for this scene and personally may need to grab some more before they are gone!

So head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. Grab your favorites from the November release 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!

Believe

So today I am playing with Hello Frosty Sparkle Blend and I must say this may really be a favorite for me. It is winter, and it is all my favorite colors and it really goes beyond just the holidays and works all winter long. So check this out.

My card base is Classic Crest Natural White 110lb cardstock cut and scored to create an A2 size base. I am using a new shaker kit from Queen and Company called Heartfelt Holiday kit. I have used the fabulous ornament foam shapes and dies to create my shaker. I have also used a paper pad from Queen and Company called All Bundled Up, which has lots of fun elements but most importantly the colors are perfect with this blend! Additionally, I have used some basic shape dies from Stamps Of Life and from Lawn Fawn to pull this all together. I also used Scor Tape as well as Foam Tape to create some dimensionality with my layers, and as a finishing touch, some purple bakers twine also in my stash from Queen and Company.

I really do love everything about this blend and personally may need to grab some more before it is gone!

Happy Holidays

So today I am playing with the fabulous Sparkle Blend mix called Lights In The Forest. I have to be honest, this is such an amazing blend and can be used for so many different things, that it is pretty much a must! I have paired it with this fabulous Stamp Set from Hero Arts called Winter Woods HeroScape. These things together work so well for making an Infinity Shaker, which you all know I love doing. I did use a bunch of inks between stamping and blending, so for my layering I used Catherine Pooler inks in Spruce, Aquatini, Hot Tub, and Stone Blue. I also used for my ink blending Distress Oxides in Black Soot, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, and Faded Jeans. For my sentiment and my black stamping I used Memento Tuxedo Black. Additionally I used acetate for my shaker panel with one inch wide scor tape to create the infinity shaker and finally some blue glitter cardstock from DCWV and my card base is Classic Crest Natural White 110lb cardstock cut and scored to create an A2 size base.

This is really such a perfect blend for so many things, that I personally may need to grab some more before it is gone!

Santa's Favorite

Have you been working on those Holiday Cards? I have! Check out this one.

I am using Classic Crest Natural White 110 pound cardstock for my card base. I have cut my cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and then scored and folded at 4 1/4" to create the card base. Now I love using cardstock to create layers for my cards. I am using a die set from The Stamp Doctor called A2 Card Layers #2. I am using Stardream Metallic Silver Cardstock,  Habanero Cardstock, and Bonsai Green Canvas Textured Cardstock to cut my different size mats. I then adhered these with Scor Tape.

Next I am using a digital image from Joy Clair called Santa's Favorite for my images and sentiment. What I really love is this is a really easy set to work with and requires very little coloring, I have dine a bit of fussy cutting and did use my Copics for the coloring I did do. And of course, I adhered these on with Scor Tape.

I really love how this turned out. I do hope you like this project and as always, I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs,

Judy
