February Sparkle Blends Release Hop

Hello Doodle Fans! Its time for another exciting release blog hop! We’ve got 6 brand new blends to share with you this month: Cozy, Storm Cloud, Good Luck Charm, Mardi Gras Parade, Birthstone Collection: February - Amethyst and Birthstone Collection: March - Aquamarine. we just know you’re going to find some sparkle to love! To see detailed descriptions of each of the February Sparkle Blends release, check out our release blog post!
This release has a variety of beautiful blends to choose from! Do you have a favorite? In honor of Valentine’s Day, comment with your favorite blend on the original Doodles Paper Playground post, for a chance to win a package of Conversation Hearts from our December release.
For my card, I chose to work with the We're Turning One Sparkle Blend. I love the bright colors in this mix. From the blues and greens, to the hot pink and purples. I adore the wide range of sizes and shapes too. This Sparkle Blend is just beautiful. And you can only get it (for free!) with a purchase of $10 or more at White Rose Crafts, while supplies last.
My focal layer was created with Stampendous' Flutters & Flowers stamp set. This is one big stamp, and it fits perfectly on a standard sized card. I colored it in with Zig Clean Color Markers. I don't usually make shakers that are basically the size of my card, but this stamp was too pretty to trim, and I really wanted to show off the "We're Turning One" Sparkle Blend. I used an Elizabeth Crafts Designs die cut to make my border around my shaker, and I used foam tape to seal it. I used a simple sentiment from Simon Says Stamp's Tiny Words stamps, just to finish the card off. The sentiment is perfect for almost any occasion, which is why I chose it. Now, read on to find out all of the prize info and full hop list.

This card is the most beautiful shaker. I adore the whole look of the card. Such a lovely card!
This lovely floral card is perfect for any occasion by just changing the sentiment on it. By making it a shaker card just adds that extra special touch that makes it outstanding.

Christmas in July with Imagine Crafts & Stencil Girl!

Hello! Have you heard? The Imagine AIRs have been hopping with Stencil Girl! If you have been here before, you know I loooove me some stencils, so this collaboration was very exciting for me! The teams are hopping for 3 consecutive Saturdays, and this is week 2. I have the entire list of hop links at the bottom of the post. Be sure you don't miss anyone! I decided to to create an extra large gift tag with my new stencils. Using red cardstock, I taped down the Journal Texture #8 Stencil  and inked it up with Golden Glitz Delicata ink . I promise you, this is the BEST gold ink you will ever use! The Journal stamp only has 2 diamonds on it (it's a 4x4" stencil), so after I inked up the first pair, I moved over the stencil, lined it up, and inked again. Next I wanted to do something textural with the Urban Insiders Star . So I took some evergreen cardstock, taped down the star, and slathered on some yummy Iridescent Green Creative Medium . After the medium dried, I ga

Remembering Aletha

Greetings, Friends. This post today is part of a very special blog hop. We are celebrating the life of an amazingly talented artist and friend. The crafting community lost Aletha Jane Williams on May 5, 2019. Those of us that worked with her on Design Teams or on Challenge Blogs all agree that she was one of the sweetest and most talented women we knew. We are not here to mourn her loss though. This hop is happening in conjunction with a very special celebration of her life and her art that her husband Bob is holding in her home city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Please join us in honoring our incredibly creative friend Aletha . My card features the "Remembering Aletha" Sprite, which Mitzi (owner and artist of Aurora Wings ) created specifically for this hop. She is generously giving the digi away to all, over on her blog. This sweet Sprite looks so much like Aletha, and I know she would have been honored. If you download this digi for yourself, please be sure to give a huge "
