Soy Happy Together

Hi Everyone! Today I am bringing you a sushi special! This adorable project starts with a Classic Crest Solar White 110 pound cardstock for my card base. For this project I used a die from Waffle Flower Stamps called Sunshine Panel Die. I cut this from Pop Tone Black Licorice Card Stock.

I then used a standard card layer die from Lawn Fan to cut an underneath panel in Pop Tone Wild Cherry Cardstock.Scor Tape.

I then adhered the two layers using
Next I stamped out my sushi images from an adorable stamp set that was part of the Hedgehog Hollow July Kit using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and my MISTI stamping tool. I then colored up my images using Copic markers.

I then cut out these images and placed them on my card front using Scor Tape. I then stamped out my sentiment also from the same set again using Memento Tuxedo Black and then trimmed the sentiment to my desired size and attached it with Scor Tape. And finally I attached this to my white cardstock base.

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,

One Last One For Christmas In July

Hi Everyone! Ok I had to do one last one for Christmas in July! It seems appropriate that for this last one I amso used up the last of my Merry Mint Sparkle Blend. So without further ado, a smple Christmas shaker card. This is a pretty simple one that you could easily reproduce for making a batch of cards. I am using my Queen and Company Circle Shaker kit and one of the 6x6 Paper Pads from Doodlebug.  Enjoy!

So get ready for the new August Release coming out, and to grab the Sparkle Blends July Release before it is gone, as well as all of the amazing Sparkle Blends, head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. And, 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!

Who Doesn't Love A Butterfly

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing with you a fun and easy project that you can really use for lots of different occasions. You may have seen shaped cards done by people and wondered how they do it. Well, lets dive in and let me give you a few pointers. First, I am using a butterfly shaped card. This is a die set that is designed to be used either as a large layered die cut set or as a shaped card. For my card base I am using the largest die. I am folding my Pop Tone Black Licorice Card Stock in half and positioning the fold inside the top of the die. This way the top of the card will stay attached, giving me my card base.

Next, using the second largest die I am going to cut out a shadow layer from Pop Tone Razzleberry Cardstock and using both the same die and the interior die I am going to cut the "fancy" layer using Stardream Metallic Silver Cardstock. Now here is another trick. I personally like to make using intricate dies easier for myself by adding on my adhesive before I die cut. So, take some Scor Tape and place it on the back of what you are going to die cut. So you are adhering one side and leaving the paper on the other then running it through your die cutting machine. It makes it into a diecut sticker in one pass. And now all you have to do is assemble your layers.

I also used the smaller dies using Stardream Metallic Gold Cardstock and following the same technique for the body and antennae and added a touch of lavender bling. So here is the final result. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have enjoyed this project!

Hugs,

Merry Christmas

And now for a little more Christmas in July! I am bringing you a Sparkly Christmas Tree! Check this out!

This project features the fabulous Oh Christmas Tree and Old St. Nick Sparkle Blends. These two work together so well and allowed me to use the fabulous elements from both blends to give me tiny Santas, Tiny Christmas Trees, stars for both the sky and to decorate the tree. There are so many fun elements in these blends!

I created my background using Catherine Pooler Inks in Juniper Mist, Suede Shoes and It's A Boy, and have applied these with Taylored Expressions Blending Brushes. I then used Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillsides to create my snowy layers and attached these with Scor-Tape. Then I stamped and colored up the tree from a stamp set from Stamps of Life called Christmastree2stamp and cut it out with the coordinating die set. I colored it up with Copics in G03, G05 and G09. The sentiment is also from the same set and I stamped it using the same Catherine Pooler Juniper Mist ink. I then adhered the Sparkle Blends to my project using a combination of glue dots and On Point Glue.

To see more of the Sparkle Blends July Release as well as all of the amazing Sparkle Blends, head over to the Sparkle Blends Shop. And, 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!

You guac my world!

Hi Hedgehog Hollow fans! Today I am bringing you a combination of two of the sets from the July Club box. I am also using the fabulous stencil that was also in your July kit. I have also just started my very own YouTube channel so you can see a video tutorial of this project here!
To begin I am using three shades of Catherine Pooler Inks in Party Dress, Orange Twist and Sauna and applying them with Taylored Expressions Blending Brushes.

Next I am applying the new Ranger Stickles Gel in Moon Dust on top of where I just applied the inks.

I then removed the stencil and cleaned it immediately.
Next I stamped two of the pugs from the pug set, as well as the avocado and the taco from the food set. I did use my MISTI with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I did realize I had forgotten to stamp the two dog bowls and stamped them later.

And now for the Copic part. For the taco I used Copics in Y15, YR09, E15, E18, Y21 and G07.

For the avocado I used Copics in YG17, YG21, YG 23, and YG25.

For one of the pugs I used Copics in E50, E53, C5, C7, R21 and R39.

And for the other pug I used Copics in E40, E41, E42, E43, C5, C7, R21 and R39.

For the dog bowls I used Copics in Y15 and YR09.

I then stamped from the food set my sentiment using Ink on 3 Juicy Clear Embossing and Watermark Ink and Nuvo Fine Detail Glacier White Embossing Powder. I then used my heat gun to activate the embossing powder.

After I finished up coloring and fussy cutting, my background was now dry so it is time to assemble the project. I used foam tape to pop up my mugs, my sentiment, dog bowls and foods. As my final step I attached my card panel onto my card base using Scor-Tape. And here is our final project!

I do hope that you have enjoyed this project and video and have loved Guest Designing this month!Hugs Everyone!
