Mixed Media Monday - Stuffed Easter Bunny

*****Join our April Challenge: GET INKY, HERE***** 

Hi Paper Wings fans! Dana here with you starting out the week with some mixed media fun. If you missed the debut of the April Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit, you can find it HERE. I decided to go off-the-page and have created this bunny with the April kit. I also used the fantastic Easter Cling Stamp Set. You can pick up this stamp set 25% off this month!

I used a Martha Stewart Bunny Pattern for this project. I did need more muslin than what was provided in the April Kit. I used the muslin from the kit for the patterned ears and the bow, which leaves me enough muslin for more projects!

I used the Single Dot Border Clear Stamp Set from the April Kit to add a fun pattern to the inside of the bunny ears.

The April Kit contains Golden Regular Gel. I used the gel and an image from the Vintage Easter Clip Art Sheet to add a colorful egg to the center of  my bunny. This type of image transfer is easy and fun and only takes a couple of steps.

Step 1: Cut the pink egg from the Vintage Easter Clip Art Sheet. Gather the bunny body, Golden Regular Gel and a paintbrush.

Step 2: Brush a thin layer of Regular Gel onto the center of the bunny body. Place the clip art image color side down into the gel. Rub a bone folder over the back of the image and set aside to dry.

Step 3: Spritz the clip art image with water and gently run the paper from the muslin. Continue the apply water and rub until all the paper has been removed and the transferred image is revealed.

Step 4: Apply a thin layer of Regular Gel over the image to seal it to the fabric. Let dry.

I used stamps from the Easter Set to add an Easter greeting and small heart to the arms of my bunny.

I also stamped some small roses onto the feet!

Scrapbook Saturday - Mon Cheri with Dana

*****Join our April Challenge: GET INKY, HERE*****

Hi Paper Wings Productions fans! Dana Tatar here today sharing a layout for Scrapbook Saturday. I created this page primarily using items from the March and April Nesting Components Mixed Media Kits. I also used bits and pieces leftover from past kits. I'm thrilled to be able to incorporate both older and new kits together to create fun projects.

The cute boy from the Vintage Hodge Podge Clip Art Sheet (March Kit) was just begging to be used on a layout! I cut him out of the image for use on this page. If you're wanting to create a similar layout, you could personalize it with a photo of your own cutie!

I used a Blue Fern Studios Village Sign Post as the focal point of this layout. I finished the chipboard with embossing powder. I filled the sign post with a Prima ATC (March Kit) that I then filled in with glaze. I embellished the sign post with Prima flowers (March Kit) and a piece of Leaf Ribbon (April Kit). The Gold Foil Border and Gold Foil Wings are NEW to the Paper Wings Productions Store and are both included in the April Kit!

The Postcard Cling Stamp was the perfect was to embellish the front of this envelope that was part of a previous kit. I embellished the envelope with a gold rub-on (previous kit) and a stenciled molding paste design. (Look for this Golden Molding Paste in a future kit!)

The Single Dot Border Clear Stamp Set is included in the April Kit. I used the dot borders separately on this page. The line of Border Stamps contain both an outline stamp and a solid stamp that complement each other and are designed to be used together. Follow THIS LINK for a quick tutorial.

I created a small embellishment cluster with flowers, a mini burlap tag, and an enameled tag, all from the March Kit. The resist canvas leaf, rub-on and seam binding are from previous kits.

You Are Special- Vellum Dragonfly Wing Tutorial

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.
