Feature Friday-Sayings and Sentiments

*****To join our August Anything Goes Challenge Click Here*****

Happy Friday Paper Wings fans!!  Erica here with you today to bring you this week Feature Friday post and this week I am featuring the fabulous stamp set Saying and Sentiments!

The Sayings and Sentiments stamp is is available in the Paper Wings Productions shop and includes 12 red rubber stamps!

I created 3 cards for you today showcasing a few different sentiments from this stamp set.  The August 2014 Nesting Components Kit came with a handful of card bases so I pulled 3 of them out along with some of the papers I had left from the July Nesting Components kit.  I also used some ribbon from my stash along with some circle punches and dies to create my cards.  My first card is very simple but I still love how it turned out.  I punched out a circle in the lower right corner and then stamped the sentiment inside the circle.  I added a scallop frame to the circle and also added some ribbon to complete this card.

For my next card I decided to add some texture to the card base using an embossing folder.  Once it was embossed I punched out some circles using my circle punch and a few different pattern papers from the July kit.   I adhered the circles all over my card letting some go off the edges.  I cut off the excess with my scissors and then added my sentiment.

My last card uses the last piece of 6x6 paper from the July kit and a few strips of pattern paper.  I covered the card base with this beautiful paper and distressed the card base edges with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I die cut a stitched circle and then punched a 2 more circle to layer on top.  I stamped out the thanks sentiment onto the cream cardstock and also sponged some distress ink around the edges.  To finish this card off I added some seam binding and some May Arts twine.

Mixed Media Monday - Beauty

Hi everyone Simply Monica here with a GDT post for the month of August and I am sharing project using the monthly mixed media kit.  It is full of yummy goodness: clip art sheets, LSG, Um Wow chippies and so much more be sure to get yours today before supplies run out!!

 For my project I created a mixed media canvas piece using the By the Sea Mixed Media Kit. but I didn't use canvas I actually used a piece of thick chipboard that I covered with gesso and then used the Shots from Lindy's Stamp Gang in the kit to make sprays and paints to cover the chipboard.

 I used one of the images from the clipart art sheet as the focal points

 I then used Coarse Pumice gel that also was included in the kit and a stencil for the decorative leaves in the below picture I then used some of the dry powder from the LSG products to create shine and color

below is a closer look at the handmade flowers I made as well and then I stamped a sentiment from the stamps from the kit 

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed my project for today and thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to check back for the final GDT post for Paper Wing Productions!
