It's Your Birthday Mermaid Shaker - Doodles Paper Playgrounds

It's Your Birthday

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

My niece turns 10 this month and she loves mermaids so 

I wanted to make her a mermaid shaker birthday card.

I die cut my top panel from some patterned paper and 

also die cut the shaker window.

I stamped the sentiment with some matching purple ink.

Obviously had to go with mermaids, 

I stamped then colored with copic markers to match the sequins.

I added the acetate to the back of the panel. 

I dug though my little drawer of pre-colored images for a few more things 

to put on the front. I found a fish and some seaweed that worked out great.

I also stamped some purple bubbles.

I had an extra mermaid so I added the cut out from the front panel to the inside, added the mermaid and then stamped the sentiment in matching purple.

I added a single layer of foam tape, I wanted this shaker to be 

low profile so that I could easily send it in the mail. 

I laid out my sequins and placed the top panel.

I love how it turned out!

For this shaker I used the Juniper Berries Sparkle Blend from Doodle Paper Playground.

I love the glitter sequins in this blend.

of items for all your crafty projects over at White Rose Crafts!

Life Is Sweet - HeartCraft Paper

 Life is Sweet

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

For this card I used this cupcake image from HeartCraft Paper.

I printed my image out, colored it with copic markers and fussy cut it out.

I die cut a background from some patterned paper that looked like sprinkles 

and use this sentiment stamp from Sweet Stamp Shop.

I attached the panel to my card base and attached the 

cupcake with a single layer of foam tape.

I also added some glitter enamel dots and 

some stickles to the cupcake.

I love that this image is so versatile!

You can make your cupcake any flavor!

I used Strawberry Jude Stamps layering Holly Jolly set.

These leaves had 5 layers.

On the ones on the right I used 5 different colors. 

On the ones on the left, I used clear heat embossing to create the last highlight.

I did about 8 pairs of leaves and 5 sets of holly berries.

I die cut my base panel and my shaker window frame.

I white heat embossed my sentiment so it would pop against the black background.

I attached my base panel to a top folding card base.

I used a double layer of foam tape on my shaker frame.

I measured out my sequins and placed the shaker frame.

I added my holly leaves and berries.

I also added some sequins around my sentiment just to tie it all together.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I had quite a few holly leaves still left so I put together this card, using the leafs to make a wreath and used some of the glitter sequins to decorate it!

For this shaker I used the January Garnet Birthstone Sparkle Blend collection 

from Doodle Paper Playground.

Valentine Angel - HeartCraft Paper

Valentine Angel

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

This month I am guest designing over at HeartCraft Paper.

This image is from the December release, isn't it adorable!?!

I started by printing out my image and die cutting 

it with a stitched rectangle die.

I colored the image in with Copic markers and use glitter pens on the hearts.

I used a wink of Stella on the wings because you can't 

have an angel with plain wings!

I die cut a sparkly background and adhered it to my card base.

I place my colored image panel onto my card. . . 

I added this love that I die cut from the same background paper and added a few glitter enamel dots at the top of the card to balance out the hearts.

HeartCraft Paper has super cute images, SVG files and also 

hosts a Monthly Challenge!

Happy Holidays Shaker Ornament - Doodles paper Playground

Happy Holidays

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I used Lawn Fawn Ready, Set, Snow stamp set and shaker add on dies 

for this project.

I stamped and die cut the base and the snow globe frame.

I used a piece of patterned paper that had little grey snow flakes on it.

Then I added the snowmen. 

These little guys are so cute!

I added color to the snowmen and the globe base with copic markers

I added the acetate and a double layer of foam tape to the frame, 

measured my sequins out and I put the frame in place.

I die cut a second base to put on the back.

This hides the ink that bled through from coloring and also 

gives a place to attach the string.

I had originally had a different idea for the sentiment on this but then 

I decided I wanted to put it on the globe base. 

I stamped it in regular black ink.

For this shaker I used the Icicle Sparkle Blend from Doodle Paper Playground.

I love the glitter sequins in this blend.

There are more great Sparkle Blends and a large assortment of items for 

all your crafty projects over at White Rose Crafts!

Snapping Good Time - HeartCraft Paper

Snapping Good Time

Here is another card I made with this cute gingerbread man!

He is perfect for Christmas cards!

I printed out the image and sentiment and die cut 

it to fit on the inside of the card.

I colored it with copic markers and added red and green stickles then let it dry.  

For the front I stamped a sentiment on a die cut banner.

I created a window in my card base and base panel so 

that the gingerbread man would be visible.

I added a base panel to the inside of the card as well so 

there wasn't empty space around my panel.

I added the stamped banner to the front and also added 

some glitter enamel dots.

Here is the inside. . . I love how it turned out!
