You're my Princess

Hello friends. Larissa back with you today with a cute card I made for a princess. 

I stamped the image on a piece of white cardstock and colored it with Copic markers. I used an oval die and cut the image out. I found a piece of pattern paper in my stash that matched. So I added it to the card front which is matted on a piece of hot pink cardstock. I finished the card off with a pink ribbon tied around the card. 

Supplies Used:
Paper Wings Productions Princess Clear Stamp
Pattern Paper from My Minds Eye
Stampin Up Melon Mambo cardstock
Stampin Up Pretty and Pink Satin Ribbon
White Cardstock
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
Copic Markers: E50, E21, E13, R20, RV13, RV14
Oval Dies

I hope you enjoyed my post today.
Have a wonderful day friends.

Christmas Ornaments

Hello. Hello and Merry Christmas to you all!  Norma here with you today for:

Before I get started, I'd like to invite you to check out Cathi's wonderful Tutorial Tue post: Stamped & Image Transferred Soaps.

Okay so my theme today is ornaments and I've made two to share with you.

The holidays are a fun time to make new ornaments.  You could give them away as gifts or get together each year and create new ones with your family.  So with that in mind, here are a couple of ideas to get you started.  One is very simple and the other is very layered.  I tried to use the same stamp sets for both ornaments to show you how versatile they are.

This was the first ornament I made and I used a TON of stamps to add texture to my background.

I started out with a sheet from a shaped chipboard mini album and applied a layer of gesso.  (tidbit: I buy a lot of mini albums but never use them for their intended use.  I like creating ornaments, wall hangings and altered art with them instead.)

I created the first layer of the background using the following stamps: Damask Cling Stamp, Lace With Border Clear Stamp & Tile Pattern Clear Stamp.  I stamped each one in a patchwork pattern and then used the lace boarder to define each section.  After that, I added another layer using these stamps: castle from the Prince Clear Stamp set, flying fairy from Fairy Friends Stamp set and the Text Cling Stamp set.

Next I stamped a strip of cardstock with the Postcard Cling Stamp and then ran it through my Cuttlebug to cut the mini snowflake rosettes.

Finally I stamped Psalms 46:10 from the Scriptures stamp set and cut into strips.  I layered all of the embellishments, inked the edges and added a second hole to create the ribbon hanger.

Now for a much simpler ornament that is just as beautiful.

I started out with a paper mache ornament and gesso'd it just like before.  Then I applied a coat of paint and used the Postcard stamp all over the background.

After that, I used the same lace ribbon border on the perimeter of the ornament.  I simply curved the clear stamp to fit my ornament and stamped it all the way around.  Next I stamped the prince onto cardstock, colored, fussy cut and glued him on.  I stamped Proverbs 15:13 from the Scriptures stamp set and added ribbon around the edges meeting at the top to create a bow.

When using stamps, the possibilities are endless!  Thanks so much for joining me today and don't forget to pick up the Dec Nesting Components kit!!

Have a wonderful day!!

My Princess - Themed Thursday

Happy May Everyone!!  OMGosh guys, is it just me or is this year just flying by?!  I feel like I blinked my eyes and April was gone, lol.  Oh well, on the bright side the NEW Paper Wings Productions "Nesting Components" mixed media kit was just released and it's awesome!  If you missed the announcement, you can check it out HERE.

Today I have two princess themed projects to share with you using the Princess Clear Stamp set.

This sweet little card is a mixture of fabric, paper, ribbon, a button and of course stamps.

I colored in this sweet little princess using Prismacolor pencils then added Stickles to her crown and necklace.

I also stamped the crown in the set on the button. 

This cute little lady is paper pieced together.  The only parts I colored in were her face and torso.

This tag is covered in muslin and a strip of specialty paper.  I used tulle, ribbon, die cuts and a Prima flower to embellish.  This is such a cute stamp set.  I think she'd even be cute without her crown.  

Well friends, thanks for stopping by and don't forget to join us tomorrow for the "May Flowers" DT Blog Hop!

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!!!

Feature Friday: An Old Fashioned Valentine

Happy, happy Friday!

It's Shay here.  There has been some truly fabulous projects this week so I recommend first scrolling down to see them all before you return to this post.  I can wait.

Welcome back!  Are the design team talented or what?

Today I have some cuties for you.  What is better than miniature little Valentines?  Okay, winning the lottery to name one thing, but do you recall being a little lady or gent at school and giving and receiving Valentines?  I thought it was better than apple pie and I still love them so I thought why not make some with my awesome Paper Wings Productions stamps?

I created three of these little darlings...honestly I could have made dozens with the ideas swimming in my head. 

I used a nifty new die I bought that is a mini pocket to be the sleeve for my little Valentine cards.  The sleeve measures 2.5" x 3.8" while the cards are approximately 2 3/8" x 3 5/8".

Card No. 1:

This is the true romantic card set.  I inked up the Damask from Backgrounds or Damask using pink and red inks that I then spritzed with water and stamped upon the heart and the outside of the sleeve.  Under the heart is music from the Text Melange or Music in grey ink. I love these essential stamp sets...they work for nearly any theme and project.  I added the amor banner from Milagros which I stamped in red and colored in with Copic markers.  I added a heart and dots (remnants from the XOXO border on the sleeve).  I finished the card with some washi.  The sleeve is decorated with washi, XOXO, pink and white bakers twine and a heart.  The final touch is the little ticket/label from Tabs and Banners stamped with "for you" from Sophie.

Card No. 2:

Here's the sweet card set.  The card is stamped with the birdhouse from Home Tweet Home using VersaMark and embossed with white embossing powder.  Then I colored in the image using Distress Inks.  I chose some unusual and bright colors which I then softened by adding a layer of vellum.  I added another layer of vellum with a scallop heart die cut which I embossed with white embossing powder using a sweet sentiment from Home Tweet Home.  How adorable is this stamp set?  I adhered all the vellum with washi.

Here is a look at the house under the vellum heart:

The inside of the sleeve is decorated with the circles from Backgrounds or Circles and I also inked the edges.  The outside of the sleeve is stamped with the love birds from Home Tweet Home, tied with a white ribbon and finished with a heart.

Card No. 3:

The card for your inner princess or the little princess in your life.  Using Princess I stamped and colored her in with Copic markers.  I then masked her off and used a reverse mask of the scalloped heart to ink in the area behind her and stamp the castle from Prince.  The sentiment is also from Prince.  These are truly charming and lovely stamps and so perfect for children's Valentines.  I finished the card with pink glitter fabric tape.  The sleeve is also decorated with a reverse heart mask that I stamped the crown from Princess on.  Over that I stamped the sprig of flowers from Flower Power or Mini Flowers.  This is finished off with washi, fabric tape and a heart.

What fun these would be to make with your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, godchild or with the kids at heart in your life!  They would have so much fun making them and so proud to give them out too.  On the back of the cards is plenty of room for a little handwritten note.  Another alternative is to pack these little sweeties in a lunch for school or work.

The possibilities of which Paper Wings Productions stamps to use and how to use them are endless.  I thought Sophie, Louise, Marcel or Luc would be fun to use not to mention the Prince.  You could easily use Paris or London.  Vintage Technology or Play with Your Coffee would be fabulous too.  That is just off the top of my head! 

Another really cool thing about these little card and sleeve duo are that they are still small enough to fit in a Project Life 3x4 pocket which is a lovely thing for anyone doing Project Life.

I hope you feel inspired to ink up your Paper Wings Productions stamps!  There is still time for Valentine's Day. 

We would *love* to see what you make with Paper Wings Productions stamps. Add your projects to Facebook, our flickr group, to Pinterest, comment with a link on this post or even email pictures to us!

Take flight,
Shay.
