Bright Spring Wishes

Hey Sparkle Blends Fans! Today I am already starting to think Springtime thoughts! So without further ado, check out this Springy project!

I am using Hey Chickie which is a fantastic blend for all your Spring projects as well as Easter Projects. The colors in this mix are just gorgeous! I have paired this mix with a fabulous kit from Queen and Company called Bring On Spring. I am also using Banner Stitched Flag Die Set from Sweet Stamp Shop. Pull all these different elements together and I give you Bright Spring Wishes. 

 I really love how this all came together and can't wait to work on some more Spring projects!

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!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone

This fun-loving little penguin is so excited for the holidays! And he is flying high with Blue Blizzard Sparkle Blends over a snow covered village. This cutie along with his balloons and village are from a fabulous set from Clearly Besotted Stamps called Balloon Bunch Christmas. The background has been created with ink blending of Distress Oxieds in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Black Soot, followed by a light dusting of white acrylic paint snow speckles. The village, penguin and balloons have been stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, using my Misti Stamp Positioning Tool and then colored with Copic markers. I have added my snowy dimension with an amazing Snow Marker from Marvy Uchida, and finally created my infinity shaker using clear acetate and Scor Tape.

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!

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!

Are You Ready For The New Sparkle Blend Release!!!!!

Are you all as excited as I am for this new release!!!! Check these out. My daughter Ally and I got to spend some Mother Daughter Sparkly Crafting Time. And I have to share these with you all.

So up first, I am using Silver Bells Sparkle Blend in the super sparkly holiday card. And to mix it up a bit I made the bow in this fabulous lavender textured paper just to be a tad untraditional. I really love how this came out and this blend is absolutely gorgeous!

And check out what Ally came up with! She is using Holly Berry, Minter Is Coming and Silver Bells Sparkle Blends on her card. I adore all the amazing elements she used on her card! How fabulous is this!

We both used papers and foam shapes and dies from Queen and Company North Pole Kit as well. They do such an amazing job. Queen and Company and Sparkle Blends make for a perfect afternoon!

Wishing You A Very Merry Christmas

 Hi Everyone! I guess I am playing with Fall and Winter today! I decided to have a play with inks and this fabulous set from Hero Arts. Take a look!

As this is a layering stamp set I am definitely using my MISTI. But honestly one of the things I adore about this set is that you don't have to be exactly perfect on your stamping. Actually you even want it to not be perfect to make your trees not all look identical. The Christmas tree has one stamp for the trunk and three layers for the green, at least how I stamped this, and one layer for the red on the tree. This set also had the star for the tree top, three sentiments, a tree stand and a grounding line, which you can see I did use to show the front tree as planted in the ground. 

I used Catherine Pooler Inks in the following colors to create my scene: Lime Rickey, Eucalyptus, Spruce, Rockin Red, and Sauna. I also used Memento Tuxedo Black for my tree and sentiment. I then used a blending brush with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide to add the sky that you see in the shaker behind the trees. I then cut a white layer and a metallic silver card layer, as well as a foam circle shaker and die to create my shaker space and filled the shaker with Catherine Pooler Crater Lake Sequin Mix. Finally I assembled everything and adhered to a white cardstock card base with my favorite scor tape.
