Tag Trio

Hello everyone! It's Amber here with this weeks Themed Thursday post.With Summer ending soon I've had Fall & Halloween on the brain lately. So today I'm sharing a trio of tags I created with two different PWP stamp sets, Little Halloween and Text.

To create each tag, I stamped my PWP Fall/Halloween images onto three different white die cut tags. I then colored my images with some colorful Close To My Heart markers, adding water to blend. For a soft and subtle background, I inked up one of the text cling stamps and lightly stamped it across my images. To finish I added a vellum tag over each stamped tag and stamped my sentiments. Below is a close up of each tag.

 

These tags are super easy to make and could easily be made in batches. Thanks for visiting! Don't forget we would love to see what you make with Paper Wings Productions Stamps so add your projects to our Flickr Group,to Pinterest, or leave a comment with a link to your project. You can also check out our Facebook Page and You Tube Page for daily inspiration.

Hello Everyone! It's Amber here sharing a three dimensional card I created with Paper Wings Productions Dragonfly Fairy Clear Stamp Set. I thought it would be fun to share this quick and easy vellum tutorial today for Tutorial Tuesday. This is a really fun tutorial, you can take any flat one dimensional image and turn it into a fun three dimensional image just by adding some vellum.

I started by stamping the Dragonfly Fairy in some Jet Black Staz-On Ink and then I colored her and the dragonfly with some markers that coordinated with the patterned paper I wanted to use.

I set my colored image aside and then stamped the dragonfly's wings onto a scrap piece of vellum paper in the same jet black Staz-On ink that I used for my first image. I only need the wings for the next part of the tutorial so that is why I didn't stamp the whole image.

After I had the wings stamped I cut them out and bent them a little with my fingers. You can see in the picture that the wings are not perfectly stamped, parts are darker while other parts are lightly stamped. Dragonfly wings are paper thin very delicate so I left it like this because I thought they looked more realistic.

After I had my wings cut out and slightly bent I added a small drop of glue to the center of the vellum wings and attached them to my original image. I let the glue dry for a few minutes and then I went back and bent them into place. You can bend them as much or as little as you want, this is what gives the dragonfly a three dimensional look.

Doesn't it look like real dragonfly wings? It's such a simple thing but it really does add a realistic look to the image. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today and Thanks for visiting!

Ghoulish Greetings & A Chalk Moon Tutorial

Hello everyone! It's Amber here with this weeks Spotlight Sunday Post! Today I am featuring the Fall Add Ons Clear Stamp Set and I will also be sharing a fast and easy tutorial on how to create a colorful Halloween/Harvest moon.

I had lots of fun creating this card, I just love the sentiments and these two little ghost that come along with the Fall Add Ons clear stamp set.  See the colored moon behind the two little ghost...this is what I will be showing you how to create today. Below are the four steps I used to create the moon.

 Step 1.
Stamp your two ghost in black on a white piece of cardstock.  

Step 2.
Now that you have your two ghost images stamped, pull out a piece of  scrap cardstock that has a circle punched out of it and place it around your two images. Then on another scrap piece of white cardstock scribble the colored chalk pencil colors that you want to use for your moon next to each other. I used a little red, two different oranges, and a yellow color for my moon.

Step 3.
Take a sponge applicator and and start to blend the colors together. I start blending from the outside in starting with the darkest color on the outside, in this case I started with the red then blended the orange in and then added the yellow in the middle.

Step 4.
Keep blending the colors together until you are happy with it, the more color you add the darker it will be. After I have all my colors blended together I remove the punched cardstock and erase all the chalk from the ghosts.

 It really is as easy as that. There are all kinds of different ways you could go about this technique. You could use colored pencils, markers, or with a little masking you could even use a colored spray mist to create your moon. Below is a close up of the two little ghost and the colorful chalk moon I created with a few chalk colored pencils. Thanks for visiting!

Feature Friday: Muertos Birthday

Hello everyone! It's Amber here with this weeks Feature Friday Post.Today I'm sharing a Birthday card using the Muertos Cling Stamp Set and the Let's Eat Cake Clear Stamp Set. First let me start by saying how happy I am to be staying on as a part time designer. I will be stopping in twice a month to share a weekly post and join in on the  Design Team Blog Hops. Speaking of Design Team Blog Hops, next Friday September 6th is the next Paper Wings Productions Design Team Hop so make sure you come back and check it out! Okay now onto my project...For this card I wanted to play with color, pattern, and texture. The color and the pattern part was easy I just pulled out a piece of Crate Papers patterned paper and matched up some cardstock.

For the texture I cut the two bright pink strips of  border paper that is under my patterned paper to look like fringe. You can see it a little better in the photo below. I just used a small pair of scissors and randomly cut little slits all along the border. Tip: It is easier to cut the paper to look like fringe after you have all ready stitched the borders to your patterned paper. This makes it a lot easier to hold while cutting, plus you can see how far up to cut the slits.

We would love to see what you create with Paper Wings Productions stamps.... Show us on our Pinterest page, our Facebook page or our Flickr gallery or leave us a comment with a link to your project. Thanks for visiting!

Googly Eyed Fish For A Birthday Boy

 

Hello everyone it's Amber here with another What's Up Wednesday post. Today I am sharing this cute little Birthday Boy card featuring the Mermaid Clear Stamp Set.

I just love this little fish image that is with the Mermaid Clear Stamp Set. When I seen it I thought the little fish would be really cute repeatedly stamped. So I pulled out some white cardstock and started stamping. Once  I had my fish stamped I colored them, added some glitter, added some mini googly eyes, and  then cut the white cardstock to fit my card base. Since I colored the fish blue and green I thought the colors were perfect for a boys birthday card. You can see a close up below as well as my supply list.

Last but not least I cut a  3/4" x 2" piece of orange patterned paper, added my clear sticker sentiment, and then stitched to my card front.  Below you will find my supply list and don't forget we would love to see what you make with Paper Wings Productions Stamps so add your projects to our Flickr Group, to Pinterest, or leave a comment with a link to your project.
