With Thanks

Hello PWP fans! Its Amber here with you today sharing another card featuring one of the Geisha's from the Geishas Cling Stamp Set. This set is quickly becoming another one of my favorites. I started with some colorful floral patterned paper from Crate Paper and used that as my inspiration. I really loved the teal/green color in the patterned paper so I found a matching ink and stamped the Geisha image in it. I then stamped over the same image with some black ink to give it a two toned effect. After my image dried I cut it out and adhered it to my second piece of pattered paper. Using the two same ink colors I stamped my "with thanks" sentiment from the Say It- Thanks Clear Stamp Set to the right side of the geisha. 

Above is a closer look at the stamped geisha and sentiment. Thanks for visiting and don't forget to check back in later this week for Carries Design Team announcement.

I spy

Greetings friends,

Today I spied one of our stamps used on a GORGEOUS sample made by our friend Dana.  Click the link to hop over to her blog and check it out!

The stamp that Dana used is from our Domino stamp series, meaning the size of the stamp fits perfectly on a domino.  Obviously they can be used for so many things besides stamping on dominoes!  Here's a link to the product in our store.

You Are Special

Hello PWP fans! Amber here, and I'm super excited to be here sharing my colorful Geisha card with you today. This one has lots of color and stamping. I started by stamping my card base with the large paisley image from the Vintage Melange cling stamp set in black. After I had my card base stamped I pulled out some white cardstock and cut a small square for stamping. I created the background behind my geisha image by blending three different colored inks. I just took the ink pads and swiped them across the white cardstock to get the blended look above. You could also achieve this look with some ink and an ink dabber or some watercolors. To finish off my vertical panel I  added a small strip of  pink cardstock to the top of my stamped piece and a larger piece of pink cardstock to the bottom. I also stamped some text in black to the upper and bottom pink cardstock strips along with a "you are special" sentiment and some twine.

Above is a closer look at the stamped geisha with the blended background. I hope you enjoyed my card today.

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!
