Scrapbook Saturday

Happy Saturday Paper Wings Productions fans!  Erica here to bring you this weeks Scrapbook Saturday post!

I am so excited to be bringing you a scrapbook layout today that I created using the September Mixed Media Kit!  I loved this kit and the 6x6 paper pad from My Minds Eye that was included is filled with beautiful paper!

I also used some of the fabulous stamp sets from the Paper Wings Productions shop and a gold gelato!  All the products I used today from Paper Wings Productions will be linked down below!  I started with a plain white piece of textured cardstock.  I took my gold gelato and ran it across on of my acylic blocks.  I used a paint brush and some water to create a nice gold watercolor and then used the Faber-Castell stipple brush to add some splashes of gold to my white cardstock.  I set this aside to dry and then began cutting squares from the 6x6 paper pad.  I cut them in 3" and 3.25" sizes so they were not all the same.  I also cut a few smaller pieces to use as layers.  Next I laid out all my squares and added embellishments from the My Minds Eye Market Street ephemera pack to the squares.  I then added my 3 photos and started to adhere things down.  Once things were down I pulled out my stamps and my Jenni Bowlin ink and added some stamping!  This layout came together quickly and was inspired by a layout that I recently saw on Pinterest!  I really love the look of grid style layouts and they have been very popular and one of my favorites designs right now!  Here is a look at my final layout!  I also pulled in a few enamel dots from my stash and a brad from a past PWP Mixed Media Kit.

Thanks so much for stopping today!  Please remember that our October challenge is still going on and you can link up to our challenge a total of 3 times!  Using PWP product is not required but will give you extra entries into our challenge!  Enjoy the rest of your day and remember to let your creativity take flight!

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!

Mixed Media Monday - ATC Cards

Hello Again friends!  This is Carmen from Serendipity Studio and I'm back visiting at The Aviary to share with you a quick tutorial for ATC cards.  I love working on these little guys because you can pack so much creativity into a small space.  ATC cards are 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and often used to trade with other artists.  It's a great way to share your style with other artists and collect them.

For these cards I will using the wonderful September Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit.  There are so many goodies in this kit that the only thing I had to supply was some paint and some gel medium.

I applied some scrapbook paper to a cardboard ATC card I had cut from a larger piece.  I love this film strip clip art that's in the kit.  It has a vintage and almost steam punk theme.

I love these letter stickers from Tim Holtz Idea-ology.  They look like marquee letters on this card.  I did seal them down with gel medium to secure them.

Here is the set I created today.  The cats only card has a beret and bow tie for the clip art cat that I painted with some metallic paint and added some Interference paint from DecoArt's Media Line for some more shimmer.  My favorite is probably the Queen Bee card.  The crown has gold metallic paint and white Signo Uniball pen.

I hope you were inspired to create some beauty from this one kit.  To see what else you can make, check out Amanda's work from Spotlight Sunday.  

I've had so much fun visiting The Aviary this month, thank you to Carrie for giving me the opportunity and also to you for stopping by and reading my post.

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!

What's Up Wednesday: Vintage Fairy Cards

Hello! Cathi here over in Ireland!!

For my What's Up Wednesday post I want to showcase two new stamp sets:

Hanging Stars Clear Stamp Set & Fairies Clear Stamp Set

   

If you know me, you know I love all things vintage, so I had to make some vintage cards. I challenged myself to use things only from my Paper Wings Productions Nesting Components kits as well! Luckily the June Nesting Component Kit came full of gorgeous Pink Paislee Hope Chest goodies, including the 6x6 papers that I used here!

My first card I did uses an image from the Fairies Clear Stamp Set. I stamped it onto the Hope Chest paper and colored it in with Chipped Sapphire and Old Paper Distress Inks. The glittery stars and the sentiment came from the Hanging Stars Clear Stamp Set. I used a gorgeous Prima vine that came from my September Nesting Component Kit. I finished it off with some Martha Stewart small butterfly punches.

I love using vintage images, so I just had to take one from the Winged Things Clip Art Sheet, this little fairy girl is just perfect for the sentiment I took from the Fairies Clear Stamp Set. The velvet ribbon is from the April Nesting Component Kit, which has sold out! I used my sparkly embossing powder to emboss the edges of the vintage image for a great antique touch.

Thanks so much for looking, I hope my cards have inspired you to look into the gorgeous stamp sets, vintage images and mixed media kits Paper Wings Productions stock.

There are a lot of gorgeous Halloween projects being posted on the Paper Wings blog this month, here is a vintage card I made earlier this month with Paper Wings Stamps and images, more details here.
