Featured Friday - Vintage Paper Tags

***** Join our May "Anything Goes" Challenge HERE ***** 

TGIF Paper Wings fans! Dana here today sharing a set of tags that I created with the vintage paper pieces from the May Floral Mixed Media Kit. You can find more information about the May kit, May stamp release and May featured stamp sets HERE. Almost everyone in my family has a birthday this Summer, so I'm planning on using these tags to embellish my wrapped gifts.

I started with 3x3 inch chipboard squares. After a base coat of gesso and a layer of Gelatos for color, I used the Build A Shrine Clear Stamp Set with Lindy's Stamp Gang Madonna Blue Robe and Jack O Lantern embossing powders to frame each square.

I used the Flowers Quotes Cling Stamp Set for the sentiments on each tag. I finished the tags with some Hand Dyed Ribbon. These tags were super fun to create and they didn't take a lot of time. The colorful vintage images are embossed so these flat tags have a lot of dimension. Try using one of the Journaling Stamps to add a personalized message to the back of the tags.

Come Fly With Me

Hello PWP fans, Norma here with you today!  If you're in the states, I hope you're enjoying your Memorial Day weekend.

Today I'm sharing this mixed media layout using the leftovers of several Nesting Components kits.

I started out by adding a layer of tissue to the kit's backing board.

For even more texture, I embossed the perimeter with the Vintage Lace stamp and Lindy's Cosmic Blue Violet embossing powder. 

I added layers of muslin, patterned paper and a tag created using the Sunburst and Fringe Lace stamps. 

I'm using a 7Gypsies book cover to frame my focal image which I stamped with "come fly with me" from the Bird Melange stamp set.  To embellish, I clustered flowers, ribbon and a butterfly.

More Nesting components bits over a lollipop heart shaped cover.

I've also added a Prima wooden door, vintage lace and some bling.  Thanks so much for joining me today.  Put those stamps to good use and create interesting backgrounds and custom layers for your projects!!  

Enjoy the rest of you week!!

Tutorial Tuesday - MOO-ve Over ATCs!

Hi Paper Wings fans! Dana here today sharing a fun alternative to the artist trading card, the moo card. Moo cards originated as a fresh alternative to the traditional business card and were quickly adopted by artists as a fun was to share small pieces of art. The NEW Vintage Domino Melange and Vintage Melange Stamp Sets are the perfect size to dress up a moo card, which has a size requirement of 2.8 cm x 7 cm. The Vintage Melange Stamp Set is our new release for February, and is available from the Paper Wings Productions Store for 15% off all month long!

These lovely ladies are part of the Vintage Domino Melange Stamp Set. I framed them with the border stamp from the Vintage Melange Stamp Set. I embossed the images onto moo cards primed with gesso and stamped with the Circle Background Stamp. I colored the images with Gelatos. This is the second set I created, the first set is more dramatic.

I have a thing for vintage ladies and was thrilled to see the NEW Vintage Ladies Domino Cling Stamp Set! I created this set of moo cards in a couple simple steps.

I first cut pieces of patterned paper to size, 2.8 cm x 7 cm.

I then embossed the patterned paper with the beautiful fractal stamp from the Vintage Melange Cling Stamp Set using Lindy's Stamp Gang Jack-O-Lantern Embossing Powder.

I then added a subtle pattern to each card with the Circle Background Cling Stamp.

I stamped the vintage ladies onto a piece of vintage book paper using archival ink, cut them out and then sealed them to the moo cards using gel medium.

I embellished each card with Tim Holtz metal stickers and rub-ons that I had leftover from past Nesting Components Mixed Media Kits.

I finished each card with some acrylic paint for a fun pop of color.

I hope you'll try creating some moo cards! They're a lot of fun. If you want to challenge yourself and work in an ever smaller area, check out Cathi's Altered Dominoes. We would love to see what you make with these, or any, Paper Wings Productions Stamps, so add your projects to our Flickr Group or our Facebook page.
