Los Animales

Hello friends. Larissa here with a fun Halloween card for you today.
I am using the new cling stamp set Los Animales.
I stamped the cat head on a piece of white cardstock using a gray ink to create a pattern paper background.
Then I stamped the cat and colored it with Copic markers. I cut it out and adhered it to a piece of black cardstock cut into a circle.
I matted the card front onto a piece of black cardstock then adhered it all to a white card base.
I didn't want to cover up too much of the background so to finish off the card front I added some purple and orange sequins and a piece of fun Trick or Treat ribbon.

This is such a fun set for cards this month. Although I think you could use it year round or at least I will. :) 

Have a wonderful day friends. 

Our designs

Hi friends,

It's Carrie here.  Personally I am loving our new stamp designs.  My tastes can be rather eclectic and this new release really reflects that.  I think that there is something for everyone at Paper Wings Productions.  I can tell that by all of the sales we have had this week for our new sets (THANK YOU!).  Our shipping has run a bit behind this week with the influx of orders.  I promise there's a little something extra in your packages to thank you for your patience.

Although I can see how much you all are loving our new stuff, I can't help but think of how many people might not *get* some of our designs.  Living in South Texas, you really come to embrace and appreciate the rich culture that originated south of the border.  I fell in love with Mexican folk art from the moment I found it.  I have a deep admiration for the traditions, imagery, and symbolism behind the art.

Shortly after deciding to start up Paper Wings I met a lovely lady named Liz Balderas.  Liz and I seem to have a mutual admiration and often trade art with one another.  She is amazing.  She creates paper mache works of art that she sells are various shows and on Etsy.  Besides the paper mache, she has many other talents and endeavors that keep her busy.  Check out some of her work...

I approached Liz about creating designs for Paper Wings and she happily agreed.  She is one of my favorite designers to work with because she is always positive and willing to work with the ideas I give her.  I simply cannot say enough good things about this woman.  She is the designer behind many of our popular sets including these.

She also designed the new Nativity, Virgen de Guadalupe, and Sacred Heart stamps.  You can check out all of the designs Liz has done for us by clicking here.  I know skeletons and some of this may seem strange to some of you but I really encourage you to take a closer look at the traditions and symbolism behind Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and Mexican folk art.  I think if you do, you might come to love it as much as I do.  

A Latte Love...

Happy Tuesday all! Pam here today to share another fun project using Paper Wings Productions fantastic stamps!

Fall is here in New England and there is a crispness in the air-great fall days for hiking and of course my favorite lattes!

So I thought I would create a project this week using the Frothy Concoctions stamp set:

To create this card I did a lot of stamping,fussy cutting and paper piecing-giving each portion of the latte cup some texture. White woven paper was used for the lid, cork for the sleeve and patterned paper for the cup itself. 

This is one of two fabulous coffee themed sets from PWP, the other is Play With Your Coffee - be sure to check them out online at the store!

Nothing like coming in from a cool fall walk outside and having a yummy latte!

Thanks for joining me again this week and be sure to check back often for more DT inspiration with the PWP stamps!

Halloween spiders

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I'm happily creating Halloween projects.  I can't believe how fast September went and we are now thinking about Halloween. 

These cute stamps are from the Witchy Halloween stamp set.  Paper Wings Productions makes creating Halloween themed projects easy.

 

I embossed the background with a web embossing folder and then lightly inked over the embossed portions so the web really stands out. 

 

I die cut a hole in the bottom corner, then placed this panel on brown cardstock and die cut a smaller hole. 

 

I stamped the spiders directly on the card and placed the panel over them. 

 

Halloween was stamped twice and added to the card.

 

Are you getting ready for Halloween?

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

 

Steph

 

 

happy Halloween!

Hello everyone! Ashley here with a Halloween card to share today!

I cut this with my Cricut and then cut a piece of white paper for the background, which I colored with distress ink. I used the Little Halloween clear stamp set from Paper Wings Productions. I think the little pumpkins and the bat are so cute (not scary!) and I love the font too. There's also a similar stamp set - Halloween Mix It Up - that's got a witch hat and spiders!

I colored my bat with Copic markers and adhered only his body to the card base so that his little wings are dimensional. Then I stamped my sentiment with Memento ink. Pretty simple, but really cute for Halloween! For more Halloween inspiration, be sure to check out Pam's Halloween card.
