It's a summer birthday

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I've got a summer birthday card for you today.

I embossed the background with an embossing folder then I've used several images from the By the Sea Clip Art Sheets as the focal elements.  The images were distressed and matted before adding them to the card.

The sentiment comes from two different sets:  Happy clear stamp set and Christmas Mix It Up clear stamp set.

I just added a touch of blue to bring out the colors in one of the images.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy New Year shaker card

Hello! It's Ashley with my last card this year! This one is a shaker card wishing you a happy New Year!

I made my card base with gold embossing powder, a stencil, and embossing paste. Next I made my shaker - I use old page protectors and my Fuse tool. I threw in a bunch of sequins and the Happy New Year confetti I made.

I used the Say It Winter Greeting stamp set to stamp 'happy new year' and then I cut the words apart to make confetti. I added those into the pocket with my sequins and sealed it up with my Fuse.

Here's a close up of the shaker:

Shaker cards are fun because you can make them any size or shape and you can throw in just about anything! I recently made a Christmas one you can check out HERE.

thankful for you

Hello everyone! Ashley here with my first post as part of the new design team. I used the text melange stamp set along with the crown stamp set. I heat embossed stamped images from both of those stamp sets and then used distress ink blending for the base of my card.

I stamped a sentiment from Fall Mix It Up and then made a little banner which I adhered with foam dots. This may be a fall themed set, but it has a lot of great little sayings and sentiments for use all year around!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! You can view more details about my card on my blog.

Moments by Agnieszka Bellaidea

Hi!
My name is Agnieszka Bellaidea and I have a pleasure to GD today here.

I was very happy to be able to create with such a beautiful set of stamps and I made two projects for today.
I like to create scrapbook pages and canvases the most buy of course I also have fun with cards, tags and OTP projects.
I design for several producers from USA, Canada, Poland, I like to mix romantic style with shabby touch and I am addicted to Mixed Media. I also teach classes.

My first project, a scrapbook page was created using Bo Bunny papers and for stamping I used one of my favorites . Do you know this one?

Big Textures Cling Stamp Set can be used for layouts, cards, journaling, canvas.

My second project, a colorful card.

Royal Melange Cling Stamp Set is the one and only stamp used here but with a embossing powder in Magenta color makes a striking statement.

I can only hope you liked my project, next time I will show you another scrapbook page with different stamps!
Have a great day!
Thank you for looking

Thank You Kindly - Scrapbook Saturday

Hi everybody, Norma here with you today! Today I have a cute layout to share with you that I created using the beautiful Tea Time Nesting Components kit, Writing Cling Stamp, Build A Shrine and Southern Sayings stamp sets.

I started out by layering strips of various papers from the 6x6 Marion Smith paper pad included in the kit.  I also fussy cut some of the images from the paper like the clock and roses you see here.  Next I stamped some of the flourishes from the stamp set included in the kit and the Writing stamp.

I wanted to use this image from the clip art sheet but it just need a little more so I added the ATC frame from UmWow Studio.  I altered the frame by applying a couple of layers of gesso and then embossing with a stamp from the Build A Shrine set.  Then I spayed it with Lindy's spray ink and distressed the edges.

I love the way the frame turned out!  Okay so next I added some more fussy cut images from the paper pad and some Domino washi tape.

I used black tulle along the left edge.  I created a small bunch for the rose to sit on and added the super cute Marion Smith Tea Time Charms.  Aren't those little utensils the cutest?!

I  love how whimiscal the Tea Time Nesting Components kit is, don't you?!

Alright, for the finishing touch I added "thank you kindly" from the Southern Sayings stamp set.   And on that note I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for your friendship and support over the last two years.  Today is my last post as an official PWP Design Team member.  I have been extremely blessed to be a part of this wonderful Paper Wings family and I am very grateful for the oppourtunities it has given me.  I will definitely miss being a part of this talented group but I felt it was time to give someone else a chance to share their talents with you.  I will still be around supporting my friends and who knows, maybe I'll get to pop in from time to time ;D.  Yah never know!! 

Okay so...I really don't like goodbyes so let's move on shall we! I hope you've enjoyed my post featuring the Tea Time Nesting Components kit.  For more inspiration check out our guest designer Marie's beautiful cards and bookmarks: Themed Thursday - Card Set, Katie's fresh take on the kit: Feature Friday - Tea Album, Dana's fantastic tutorial: Building up an extra heavy gel textured background and Erica's gorgeous accordian mini album: Tutorial Tue.  These ladies have been rockin' this kit so go show them some love, you're sure to be inspired by thier creations.

Themed Thursday - Card Set

Hi there sweet friends. Marie Johansson here today showing you a card set made with the Tea Time July Nesting Components Mixed Media kit. Let me first tell you a bit about myself. I live in the north of Sweden with my partner and our two kids (10 & 6 years old). I have been scrapbooking since 2004 and my style has developed over the years to now days more fit under Mixed Media Scrapbooking. I love to use different mediums on my projects mixed up with various sorts of embellishments. You are very welcome to visit my blog to see more of my creations.

Both card has a brown cardstock as it´s base. I choose to use different patterned papers from the paper pad that comes with the kit. To match the cards I choose to use leftovers from one card on the other card. I also used the same ribbons, paints and gesso.

For this card I used one of the pictures from the clip art sheet. I have distressed it a bit on the edges to create texture. I don´t like my cards to flat. The ATC chipboard frame from Um Wow Studios made it´s way up on the top of the card. It´s partly covered with gesso. The Swirl stamps turned out nice stamped and embossed with white embossing powder. I have used the same techniques on the card below, gesso on the chipbard, embossing and splatters of mist and paint. It looks totally different though even though the material is the same.

After finishing my card I had some paper strips left. Instead of throwing them away, used them for a set of tags. I used the same materials on these as on the cards.

When Angels Are Near: Bird Cage Assemblage

*****To Join our July Challenge: Click Here*****

Happy Monday Everyone, Norma here with you today!!

Today I have a sweet little bird cage assemblage piece to share with you.  This project is very simple to create and I LOVE the way it turned out.

For this project I'm using the NEW Bird Beauty stamp set along with bits and pieces from my handy dandy scrap pile :D

I embossed all of the stamped images with black Super Fine Detail embossing powder.  Then I spritzed the bird's nest with Lindy's and inked the edges.  The base is just an empty ribbon spool (I don't like anything to go to waste around here, lol).  I used my Exacto knife to cut a slit for the paper to go into. 

This bird is embossed with the same black embossing powder and inserted into the spool the same way.

To create the bird cage I used 20 gauge wire, wire cutters, the rim of a mason jar and hot glue.  I simply cut the wire into strips, wrapped them around each other on the top to create a dome and hot glued the ends inside the rim.  Next I glued the ribbon spool to the mason jar rim.

To keep with the feathered theme, I added beautiful feathered wings from the craft store.

I found the perfect hanger in my stash of findings.  The beautiful blue gemmed piece came from a local thrift store.  I think it may have been on a chandelier at some point.

I added cream colored glittered tulle to soften the edges of the wired bird cage.

An angel in near!!  

Thanks so much for joining me today and be sure to check out Erica's gorgeous projects: Accordion Mini Album & Scrapbook Saturday.  Have a beautiful day :D
