Themed Thursday-Say It-Thanks

Hello Paperwings fans!  Erica here with you today with 3 cards featuring the new stamp set that was released in September Say It-Thanks!

I fell in love with this stamp as soon as I saw it and I knew I had to have it!  It was the perfect stamp to go along with the 6x6 paper pad that is included in the September mixed media kit!

The three cards I created included some kind of embossing. To start I ran my cardstock through my big shot to emboss the bottom half of my card with a wood grain embossing folder.  For the top I added the "thank you" sentiment and the beautiful floral accent and heat embossed in white!  I then tied a bow with this fabulous ribbon also included in the September kit.

 My next card uses 2 papers from the My Mind's Eye paper pad that is included in the September kit.  I die cut them with a tag die cut and added a sentiment and another floral accent to one of the cards.  I head embossed the sentiment in white and the accent in gold to create this pretty thank you card.

My last card also uses more paper from the My Mind's Eye paper pad and this fun sentiment from the Say It-Thanks stamp set.  I love the fun font with this sentiment and I think it can be used in so many ways!

I hope you enjoyed my cards to day featuring the Say It-Thanks stamp set.  This is one stamp set you will not want to pass up!  We all need to thank you cards and this set will help you create an amazing assortment of cards!  Thanks so much for stopping and spending some time with me today.  For more inspiration using the September kit checkout Carmen's Mixed Media Monday post HERE.   Enjoy your day and remember to let your creativity take flight!

Tutorial Tuesday-Mini Album

Hello everyone and welcome to another Tutorial Tuesday!  Erica here with you this week to bring you another one of my favorite mini albums to make!  A couple months ago I shared one way to create an accordion mini album using a sheet of 12x12 cardstock and you can see that full post HERE.  This month I want to share with you all how to create a similar mini using a plain old office file folder.

Here is a list of supplies you will need to create and decorate your mini album.

• file folder
• scoring board
• scoring tool
• wet adhesive
• variety of pattern papers
• matching embellishments
• photos

Instead of listing all the directions with photos I thought I would do a video for you all instead this month.  I hope you can follow along and please leave any comments or questions for me down below and I will answer as soon as possible!

To dress up my mini album I used the September 2014 Nesting Components kit.  I am in love with this beautiful kit!  The paper collection and embellishments from My Minds Eye are gorgeous and Carrie has hand picked some amazing pieces that coordinate beautifully with these two products!  I also pulled out a handful of Paper Wings Productions stamps to add to my album as well including the brand new Say It stamp set!  Here are some photos of my completed mini album.

I love how this album has a ton of pockets that allow you to add more tags, photos and ephemera.  I also added one of the mini envelopes that came in this months Nesting Components kit to the inside of my mini that will house some journaling tags.  I hope you enjoyed my video and my mini album this month.  If you have not already purchased this months kit you can head on over to the Paper Wings Productions shop and get one today!  There are only a few kits left and I think this is my favorite kit so far so act fast!  If you give this mini album I try I would love to see your take on it so leave me the link below or enter it into this months challenge for your chance to win a gift certificate to the PWP shop!  Thanks so much for stopping today and remember to let your creativity take flight!
