Congratulations Card

Hello PWP fans! It's Amber here with you today sharing a three toned stamped collage card. Before I get to my card I thought I would remind everyone that Paper Wings Productions is having a design team call. We are looking for dependable, creative rubber stamp designers that have a passion for sharing tips, techniques, and ideas with our followers. If you are interested you can check out the design team call HERE. Okay, onto the card I'm sharing today. Lately I have really begun to like mixing and matching different colors with black.  Usually I'm more of a neutral colored crafter but  its been fun using my everyday go to color black and changing it up with another color. So today its all about mint, black, and white. Below you will find step by step instructions to create your very own card. Check it out. 

1. Add some paint splatters to your card base. I'm using a pre-made card base with a diagonal design from American Crafts but you could create your own with cardstock and stamps.
2. Repeatedly stamp a sentiment onto a square piece of cardstock. I stamped "Oh Happy Day" in two different colored inks and adhered it to the right side of my card base.
3. Die cut a circle out of a colored cardstock, cut one side off, distress the edges and attach towards the bottom part of your stamp sentiment block. You could mix it up and use any shape like a star, triangle or a square.
4. Stamp your main image onto some cardstock in the same matching ink you used for you sentiment. Then cut around the edges and attach it to the die cut shape you added in the step above. I used one of the gorgeous ladies form the Vintage Domino Melange Cling Stamp Set as my main focal image and stamped it the same two matching inks I used for my background sentiments.
5. Cut/die cut a banner out of some cardstock and stamp a second sentiment onto it. Once stamped add it to the left side of your stamp focal image tucking the end of the banner behind it. I used "Congratulations" for my second sentiment to go along with my background "Oh Happy Day" sentiments.
Its that easy. I hope you enjoyed my card today and Thanks for visiting!

Hey ya'll - art journal page

Hello, hello PWP fans, Norma here with you today!  What's been up for me lately is the Southern Sayings Stamp set.  I just got this set and I've already used four of the six sentiments.   Today I'm using "hey ya'll" from the set.  I'm also using the Triangle Border and the Happy Day stamp sets.  

I started with a blue and green background and added the backing of used joint tape.  (nothing goes to waste around here)  Next I added tiny flowers with molding paste and a Finnabair Prima stencil.  Then I cut down the backing from the stencil packaging and added a triangle border.  

This cutie is from the Vintage Cuties clip art sheet.  I'm using the back of a picture frame to hold the image in place.

I found this beautiful bling frame in my stash.  It adds the perfect touch to my focal image.

To compete my design, I added flowers from my stash and Pink Paislee Cottage Farms Paper Goods from the May Nestings Components kit.  My sentiment "hey ya'll" is from the Southern Sayings stamp set.

I strayed all of the flowers with Lindy's Spray ink for a little shimmer.

Finally, I added "oh happy day" to the top and a die cut pencil just for fun.

Be sure to join us on Friday for our design team blog hop!

The Nani ke Ola designers will be joining us as we celebrate friendship.  It's gonna fun and filled with tons of inspirations; stop by!!  See you on Friday :D

Have a Wonderful Day!!

Okay so for today I'm sharing a fun little Easter project that I made using a variety of PWP stamp sets:

     

This cute little project started out as an empty ribbon spool and shoe box lid.  Here's a look at the lid before I cut it up:

I actually intended to make this into a shadow box for my Feb hop project but I just couldn't make it work.  So I set it aside and it just happened to be perfect for this project. ;D  I added some additional layers of green paint, 3-D Enamels flourishes and randomly stamped the Writings Backgrounds Cling Stamp.  Next I cut it down to size creating a nice backdrop for my project.

For the base, I padded the empty spool with foam then covered it with a scrap piece of Debbie Mumm fabric.  On the top, I adhered a piece of white cardstock that I ran through my Cuttlebug to emboss with the Swiss Dots folder and then inked with Tim Holtz Shabby Shutters.

Moving onto the banner, I cut a wooden dowel into two pieces for my "poles" and gave them a light wash of TH Vintage Photo.  I stamped the pennants onto various patterned papers with the Happy Day stamp set.  Next I fussy cut, layered the pennant pieces and highlighted with a white gel pen.  To string my banner, I punched holes and added grommets for a nice finished looked.  I hung the banner on a thin sheer ribbon.

I stamped two sets of the flowers onto pink patterned paper, fussy cut and highlighted with white.  (Tip: highlighting helps create depth on the image.)  After attaching to my "poles", I wrapped pipe cleaners around the poles to soften them a bit and add visual interest.  

 I choose to use a bird from the Bird Melange set and stamped him on yellow patterned paper.  He's topped off with a small crown from the Crowns stamp set.

For the sentiment I used a verse from the Scriptures stamp set and layered it on various pieces of K&Company cardstock die-cuts.

To finish off my scene, I stamped the butterfly wings from the Mini Wings Stamp set on yellow patterned paper and added a little blue coloring with Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  

I cut the banner with my Cricut Stand and Salute Cartridge then stamped "Happy" from the Happy Day stamp set and hand wrote "Easter".  Next I attached ivy, flowers and an Easter egg to finish it off.

That's it friends, I hope you enjoyed my little Easter project!  Thank you so much for stopping by today and for all of the sweet comments you leave me.  I really appreciate it and enjoy reading them.

Have a Beautiful Day :D
