Winged Things Tag

*****Join our May Challenge: ANYTHING GOES, HERE*****

Hey there PWP Fans, Norma here with you today for Tutorial Tuesday!

Today I'm going to show you how to create a beautiful layered tag.  This "winged things" tag is filled with beautiful texture and custom made flowers using PWP stamps.

I started out by stamping one of this month's featured stamp sets, Half Flower.   (You can pick up this stamp for just $4.50 this month!)

Next I added my background color using a variety of Lindy's inks.  I love the way they shimmer in the light.

I continued adding to the background using the Mini Flowers stamp set (only $3.00 this month).

The focal image I'm using is from the Fairy Friends stamp set.  I used Prismacolor pencils to color them.

I wanted to elevate the image so I layered scraps of cardboard til I got the height that I wanted.

 

I created custom satin flowers using the Sacred Geometry and Single Flowers stamp set (only $3.00 this month).  I stamped them onto satin fabric using Stazon.

 Next I cut them out and dyed them with Lindy's inks.

To assemble the flowers, I simply polked a whole in the center of each flower and then layered them.  I'm using earrings in the center to hold them together and attach them to the tag.  Once they were assemble, I used my heat gun to dry and shape the flowers.

I used the Leaf Border and Text Cling stamp sets to create a stem.

I embellished the tag with a heart doily tucked behind my fairy friends, ribbon, a heart charm, butterfly and a sentiment.  I love all of the bright colors, dimension, shimmer and whimsy of this sweet little tag.  I hope I've inspired you to use your stamps to create gorgeous custom flowers for your projects.  Thank you so much for joining me today and don't forget to enter the May Challenge: Anything Goes!!

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.

What's Up Wednesday - Under The Weather Cling Stamp Set

***** Join our May "Anything Goes" Challenge HERE ***** 

Hi Paper Wings fans! Dana here today sharing a set of cards that I created with the NEW Under The Weather Cling Stamp Set for this What's Up Wednesday post. I recently reorganized my scrap space and I found some really fun patterned papers that were just perfect to pair with these stamps.

I used Turquoise Iced Enamels to fill in the umbrella on this card. I love the bright color and textured finish the enamel creates when heated! Although the Iced Enamels is designed to adhere to metals, it works great on paper, just like an embossing powder.

There are several super cute bandage stamps in this set. I chose the one with the smiley face and attached it to my card with some foam mounting tape for added dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today! You can pick up the Under The Weather Cling Stamp Set at a discounted price this month!

Mixed Media Monday- Graduation Card

*****Join our May Challenge: ANYTHING GOES, HERE***** 

Hi guys, Katie here! This past weekend was my Sister's graduation, so I whipped up this fun, mixed media card to give her! I used the Celebrate stamp, which was perfect for a graduation card, don't you think? Scroll down to see a peek at my process.

I started by painting a bit of gesso onto my card base and stamping the Sunburst stamp into the gesso, this is a favorite technique of mine! Once the gesso was dry, I smeared gold gelato over it, sprayed that with a little water and rubbed it in. I also poured some Heidi Swapp gold color shine on top, which is why there are 2 shades of gold.

I wanted to stamp the large stars from the Hanging Stars stamp set in gold, but I didn't have any gold ink so I colored the stamp with a Gold PITT Pen and stamped it onto paper. After that, I spread glue over the stars and sprinkled glitter over top.

To add a bit more embellishment, I added on some Queen & Co bling in yet a 3rd shade of gold. My sister loves gold, so I'm sure she will like this card!

If you make something using PWP products, please share them on our facebook share page! We would love to see your art! Also, if you haven't yet, check out the May new releases!
