 The image is the clipart sheet and chipboard that comes inside the kit.

I hope everyone has enojyed my post as a GDTfor the month of August which happens to be my birthday month as well so what an added pleasure.  Thanks for stopping by everyone!!

Scrapbook Saturday - August Nesting Components Layout

Hi Paper Wings fans! Dana here today sharing a layout that I created with the August Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit. I not only used the kit supplies, but also part of the packaging.

The sturdy piece of chipboard that helps protect the kit contents during mailing is approximately 8.5x11 and made a create base for my layout! I used the Circle Background Cling Stamp to add a fun pattern to the chipboard base.

I added some script with my favorite Writing Background Cling Stamp.

I added color to the background with Distress Ink, Mr. Huey's Mist and the Art Textures Cling Stamp Set. The brown dot pattern is one of the art texture stamps and a great way to fill out color splatter patterns in a more predictable way!

I added several layers of patterned envelope pieces under my photo. The Tim Holtz Rub-On package contains a variety of sizes, many of which are perfect for use on photograhps.

I used a Tim Holtz Rub-On for the title, which I accented with a torn piece of Kaisercraft wrapping paper and another of my favorite Art Texture stamps.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great weekend.

Tutorial Tuesday - Altered Box

Hi everyone! Dana here with a fun tutorial for your Tuesday!  First I want to congratulate the winner of the blog hop.

I've wanted to alter this decorative box for some time now. I loved the blue cover, but wanted to change the Christmas theme to something that will be able to sit out year round. The vintage themed August Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit is much more my style! The mix of travel ephemera and clip art helped transform my box into a fun catchall for items that I collection on journeys both near and far!

I used the large piece of alphabet print wrapping paper from the kit to cover the front, side and back of my box. I wanted to play up the aged look to the box so I tore the wrapping paper to fit each side of my box and inked the edges of the paper before sealing it in place. My box measures approximately 8" x 11" and I used less than 1/3 of the wrapping paper from my kit. If you're looking to alter a large piece, this wrapping paper has a lot of possibilities!

I added several layers of printed paper that I cut from the patterned envelopes in the kit and one of the clip art images to the top of my box.

I used the Circles Background Stamp in several areas.

I added another patterned layer with the Mr. Huey's Chevron Stencil and some acrylic paint.

This text is from the package of Tim Holtz Remnant Rubs, which contains 2 sheets of fun rub-ons in a variety of fonts and sizes.

I added a fun double loop bow of vintage rayon ribbon to the top of my box and topped it with a handmade crochet rose that was gifted to me by fellow Flight Attendant Cathi.

I decided to embellish the side of the box as well! I cut the center from a doily and used that as the base of my embellishment. I topped that with some charms from my stash and a bow made from the vintage lace from the kit.

I finished my box with some fussy cut butterflies, several strips of adhesive pearls (included in the kit) and some more stamping with some of my favorite PWP stamps, Art Textures and Writings Background.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you. If you'd like to purchase the August Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit, stop by the Paper Wings Productions Store and pick one up while supplies last!
