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!

Hello everyone! It's Amber here with this weeks Feature Friday Post. Today I am sharing this colorful double stamped card. I used one of the images from the Vintage Domino Melange Cling Stamp Set. If your a regular PWP follower then you know this is one of my favorite sets and I have been using it a lot lately. I can't seem to help myself, so I hope you don't mind me sharing another card. Below is a quick little tutorial on my process for double stamping.

I started by choosing an image and two different colored  ink pads that coordinated with my patterned paper. I used Versa Color's  Peony and Sage for my image.

First I stamped my image in Peony onto a white piece of cardstock. I usually like to stamp the darker color first and then add the lighter color over the top.

Then I inked up the same image in Sage and stamped it directly over the first image. You can see in the photo above that the Sage ink lightened up the Peony ink but the two colors still blended nicely together. You might want to try combining different colors and double stamping the image a few different times onto a scrap piece of paper first before trying it on your cardstock,  it can be a little tricky lining the image up.

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 - MOO-ve Over ATCs!

Hi Paper Wings fans! Dana here today sharing a fun alternative to the artist trading card, the moo card. Moo cards originated as a fresh alternative to the traditional business card and were quickly adopted by artists as a fun was to share small pieces of art. The NEW Vintage Domino Melange and Vintage Melange Stamp Sets are the perfect size to dress up a moo card, which has a size requirement of 2.8 cm x 7 cm. The Vintage Melange Stamp Set is our new release for February, and is available from the Paper Wings Productions Store for 15% off all month long!

These lovely ladies are part of the Vintage Domino Melange Stamp Set. I framed them with the border stamp from the Vintage Melange Stamp Set. I embossed the images onto moo cards primed with gesso and stamped with the Circle Background Stamp. I colored the images with Gelatos. This is the second set I created, the first set is more dramatic.

I have a thing for vintage ladies and was thrilled to see the NEW Vintage Ladies Domino Cling Stamp Set! I created this set of moo cards in a couple simple steps.

I first cut pieces of patterned paper to size, 2.8 cm x 7 cm.

I then embossed the patterned paper with the beautiful fractal stamp from the Vintage Melange Cling Stamp Set using Lindy's Stamp Gang Jack-O-Lantern Embossing Powder.

I then added a subtle pattern to each card with the Circle Background Cling Stamp.

I stamped the vintage ladies onto a piece of vintage book paper using archival ink, cut them out and then sealed them to the moo cards using gel medium.

I embellished each card with Tim Holtz metal stickers and rub-ons that I had leftover from past Nesting Components Mixed Media Kits.

I finished each card with some acrylic paint for a fun pop of color.

I hope you'll try creating some moo cards! They're a lot of fun. If you want to challenge yourself and work in an ever smaller area, check out Cathi's Altered Dominoes. We would love to see what you make with these, or any, Paper Wings Productions Stamps, so add your projects to our Flickr Group or our Facebook page.
