Tutorial Tuesday- Stamped Thickers

Hey everyone, Katie here! It's Tutorial Tuesday so today I'm showing you how I stamped on the Thickers I used for the title of my camping mini album. I love camping so you'll always see a lot of camping scrapbook pages on my blog and I love finding new ways to embellish them.

I used the Writing cling stamp and Delicata gold ink by Imagine Crafts for this project. You want to use a background stamp for this technique.

1. Start by placing the thickers you want to use on a piece of plastic or something else that they will easily come back off of.

2. Ink up your stamp.

3. Place your stamp down over your thickers and just lightly press down. Be careful, you don't want to wiggle your stamp or the pattern will smear.

4. Lift your stamp straight off your thickers and let them dry.

It's a pretty easy technique, but a fun one! It adds a little extra embellishment to those fluffy letter stickers!

Tutorial Tuesday- Neon Patterns

Hi everyone, Katie here for Tutorial Tuesday! Today's card is very bright and colorful! I used Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Neon inks.

Before I tell you more about my card, I want to congratulate the winner of our blog hop giveaway.  Our winner is number #14-

Amazing hop love all those purples !!!!

Nikki, please contact Carrie at paperwingsproductions@hotmail.com for instructions on how to claim your prize.  Thank you to everyone for joining us!!

I used 3 different stamp sets for this card, Home Tweet Home, Funky Lowercase Alphabet and the new Sacred Geometry 2 stamps! I love the new designs in the Sacred Geometry stamp set, especially the triangle, which I used on this card to create that fun multi colored background.

Here's how I did it-
Ink up your stamp with one color and starting on the top edge of your paper, stamp your pattern.

Clean your stamp and then ink it with a second color and stamp it just below your first row. This works really well with shapes like triangles.

Repeat until you've covered your paper, switching colors as you go.

That's it! You have a fun new background to use on your cards, layouts, journal pages, etc! To finish my card, I stamped my sentiment using the Funky Lowercase Alphabet and also stamped the house from the Home Tweet Home stamp set onto white card stock, cut it out and glued it on.

If you haven't seen the new Sacred Geometry 2 stamps, check those out here! If you're looking for more tutorials, last week Erica shared a fun tutorial with alcohol inks.

Today I am sharing how to create an easy background using gelatos and some Faber Castell Big Brush Pens.  You can find both of these products in the Paper Wings Productions shop and the gelatos 

are on sale right now!  I will also be using 2 stamp sets from the shop called Thankful and Sparkle

I started out by using the biggest star burst image in the sparkle stamp set 

and colored it with one of mybig brush pens and then stamped it out all over a 

piece of white cardstock that I cut down to a standard sizecard front. 

 I repeated this same process using the next two star burst images in the 

stamp set with a different color blue big brush pen until I ended up with this. 

Next I pulled out my gelatos and added color all over my card front in random 

places.

To blend the colors in I used a sponge to rub the color all over the cardstock 

until I got the look I liked.  I went back in with more color and blended with 

a sponge about 2 or three times.  Next time I do this I will use a thicker 

cardstock or maybe even watercolor paper.  This is what my finished 

background looked like after blending in the gelatos with my sponge. 

From here I added my sentiment from the Thankful stamp set in black ink 

and a few tiny bling pieces to the smallest star bursts.  Last step was to add 

to a black layer piece and apply to my card base!  

This was my first time playing with my big brush pens and I really love using 

them to stamp out images!  If you have not yet tried these out I highly 

recommend them!  They would be perfect for multicolored images!Thanks so 

much for joining me today and I hope you all have a wonderful day!! Make 

sure to follow our blog for more inspiration and to stay up to date on new 

products!!  Our May Challenge has started and this months theme is

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! 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.

Tutorial Tuesday- Masking To Create A Background

Fabulous hop! Thanks so much!

Lisa, please contact carrie at paperwingsproductions@hotmail.com for instructions on how to claim your prize. Congratulations and THANK YOU to everyone who participated!

Hello everyone! It's Amber here with another fun technique to share for this weeks Tutorial Tuesday! I thought it would be fun to share a quick and easy masking technique to create a background.

To get started all you need is some white cardstock, some ink, two stamps (one for your main image and one for the background ), a few sticky notes, and some watercolored pencils or markers to color your image at the end. You can see how I masked off my image and added my background below.

Choose your image and stamp it onto a white piece of cardstock and then stamp the same image onto a sticky note. I used the wonderful Crane from the Crane Panel Stamp Set.

Next cut around your image. I left the the bottom half attached because its water and I only want my background to show behind the upper half of my image.

I placed my masked over the crane and then used a few more sticky notes to mask off the edges.

Next ink up the image you want to use as your background and stamp it directly over your masked image. I used this fabulous Sunburst Pattern Stamp Set for my background along with two different colored inks.

This is what my background looked like when I removed the masking from my image and the other sticky notes from the edges.  As you can see I have a nice clean border all the way around.

After I let the background dry for a few I pulled out some watercolor pencils and started coloring my image.

Here is what my finished panel looked like after I finished coloring it. I just love the way the Sunburst background stands out behind the crane. It really makes him stand out. All that was left to do was add it to my card.  I hope you enjoyed my quick and easy masking technique today! Thanks for visiting!

Wet Stamping Tutorial

Hello everyone! It's Amber here with another fun tutorial. Before I share my project, I want to announce the winner of our blog hop givewaway!

Beatrice LawsonJanuary 4, 2014 at 2:30 AM

Sweet blog hop! Loved the mix of projects and the various treatment of white... Silver, white and black, neutrals, white on white... Beautiful!

Congratulations Beatrice, please contact Carrie at paperwingsproductions@hotmail.com for instructions on how to claim your prize.

Today I'm sharing a quick and easy water stamping tutorial. I created four different colorful tags with this fun technique. Every tag features Paper Wings Productions Snapshot Framer Clear Stamp Set, Muertos Cling Stamp set, and Text Cling Stamp Set.

                                                                       

Below are the six steps I used to create these fun little tags.

Step: 1 & 2

Start with a white tag and mist it with some water. I lightly misted mine here but you can mist it as much as you want. The amount of water you add will determine how much of a watercolored effect it will have in the end. This also depends on the type of cardstock and ink pads you use. All inks are different so you might want to try it out on a scrap piece of paper and see how it turns out.

Step: 3 & 4

After you have you tag misted take a large background stamp, ink it up with a light shade of ink, and stamp it onto your  tag. Then after you have you background stamped take a smaller detailed stamp and stamp it over your background. I used one of the little stamps from the Muertos Stamp Set. Note: This is done with the same color of ink while the tag is still wet. You will also notice that the tag has curled up a little from the water but it will flatten back out in the next step.

Step: 5 & 6

Now grab your heat gun and dry the tag completely. You could just let it sit in dry but I use the heat gun to flatten the tag back out and it makes the steps go a lot faster. Now that the tag is dry apply a darker shade of ink to your stamp and stamp it directly over the  first image. This will make the image really stand out. You will be able to see the image below it but it will be light and give the image more dimension.

Here is a close up of my finished tags. I added some string , a smaller tag with my "Joy" sentiment, and some colorful sequins. Hope you enjoy and Thanks for visiting!
