Paper Wings Productions: Easter blessings

I'm on the PWP blog, The Aviary, sharing an Easter card today.

I used distress inks dried marigold and mustard seed to create the sky on my card base. For the grassy hill, I water colored with distress inks forest moss and peeled paint. I like that you can create some depth and the appearance of texture with water coloring.

My sentiment is heat embossed with ultra fine gold embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp! and my cross is stamped with Versa Fine. I colored the cross with Copic markers and fussy cut it.

Thanks for looking!

little moments.

I saw the March color challenge at ScrapMuch?and just recently printed this photo that I knew would  be perfect.

This is my cousin's son at his first birthday party this past summer. I'm not a huge Basic Grey fan, but I did think the Aurora line was perfect for this photo and for this color challenge. I love the star patterned papers and I paired the embellishments from the line with some older coordinating embellishments from my stash.

love.

I'm still working my way through my Crate Paper Hello, Love collection. I love this heart patterned paper.

This photo is from May 2015 and it's not a great photo, but it's one of the few that my brother and I have together with our dog Hunter. His health has been declining and it's so sad.

Paper Wings Productions: fly.

I'm so sorry for a late post! I've been working overtime and totally lost track of time and my assignments for Paper Wings Productions! I'm on the PWP blog today sharing this card.

I made today's card using Ken Oliver color bursts in red and orange. First I spritzed some water onto white cardstock. Then I just puffed the Color Bursts onto the card. They're powder so they literally will puff out and then mix with the water.

I stamped my sentiment using the With Wings red rubber cling stamp set. I knew I wanted to heat emboss the word 'fly' because it is in a different font and stands out. To do this,I mask off the part of the stamp I don't want to ink with some washi tape. Then I ink the stamp, remove the washi tape, and stamp the image.

Thanks for looking!

cheers!

Today I've got a birthday card I made for my aunt. My inspiration was the two Simon Says Stamp! challenges: anything goes & inspired by a song.

The base of my card was watercolored using three colors of distress inks. Then I heat embossed the large Unity background stamp with white fine detail embossing powder. I colored my drinks with Copic markers and fussy cut them. The sentiment is heat embossed with gold detail embossing powder.

 

On the inside, I stamped 'it's 5:00 somewhere' and 'birthday' with Versa Fine ink. I grabbed the gold detail embossing powder for 'happy.' This stamp set just makes me want to be on a beach listening to Jimmy Buffett with a frozen margarita.

Cheers!

Paper Wings Productions: choose to be happy.

Hello everyone! I'm sharing a card today for Paper Wings Productions that could be used for any occasion. I like to have a few of those in my stash that I can pull out at any time.

I used three different stamp sets on this card. The first two were Text Melange and Crowns. I knew I wanted to use this Stacked Hearts die so I cut out a piece of cardstock slightly larger than the die itself. Then I used stamps and heat embossing to cover the cardstock.

I heat embossed some of the text stamped images with gold fine detail embossing powder. For the crowns I used a white fine detail embossing powder and Black Magic embossing powder which is a black iridescent embossing powder.

I covered the cardstock with my heat embossed images in no particular order or pattern since I knew I was going to die cut the heart design from the cardstock.

I attached my die cut to the front of my card. I used a sentiment from Brave Girls red rubber stamp set and heat embossed it with the same fine detail white embossing powder.

Have you thought of using your stamps this way?

embossing powder: Sparkle N Sprinkle (Black Magic EP 255); Simon Says Stamp! (Ultra Fine Gold; Fine Detail)

remember this.

I haven't had time to be crafty in weeks! Finally tonight is a night off work when my boyfriend is working and I had a chance to play with some new stuff.

I made a video earlier tonight of my haul from Scrapbook.com, Simon Says Stamp, and Elle's Studio and then I found this color challenge at ScrapMuch? that I combined with their sketch. I used the new Doodlebug Sweet Things collection with the newest Crate Paper Hello, Love collection die cuts. Then I added a bunch of things from my stash. Here's my page:

This is a picture I took of  Bella a couple of months ago and I just love it. She looks so sweet... but as the journaling says, sometimes she makes me so angry that I question why I ever adopted her. *sigh*

Scrapping Turtle February promotions

Paper Wings Productions: love you.

I'm on the Aviary blog today, sharing a Valentine's day card that I made using my Cricut and three different stamps sets from Paper Wings Productions that you initially may not consider for a Valentine's day project. The stamp sets I chose are Say It Winter Greetings, Fall Mix It Up, and Text Melange.

I used the Crate Paper Hello, Love patterned papers which are perfect for this project. For the card, I used one of the script stamps on the front of my card in a light grey color. Because I wanted it to be very subtle, I stamped on a scrap paper first, did not re-ink the stamp, and then stamped a second time on my card.

The Fall Mix It Up stamp set had the 'happy' and 'together' stamps for the front of the card. For the inside of the card, I used 'love' from Say It Winter Greetings and 'you' from Fall Mix It Up stamp set. Mixing words and phrases in your stamp sets is a great way to get more use out of them!

You can see more photos and how I stamped the envelope for this card on the Paper Wings Productions blog today!

move in day.

I put this layout together last night using the January 1 Stuck?! Sketch. I only had two small photos so I shrunk the sketch down to a 8.5x11 size and eliminated one of the photos from the sketch.

This is from the day my little cousin moved into college for his freshman year.

Paper Wings Productions: dance in the rain.

I'm on the PWP blog today sharing a card I made using the Under the Weather stamp set.

I stamped the umbrellas with Memento ink, colored them with Copic markers, and fussy cut them. For my card base, I used Strathmore watercolor paper with Tim Holtz distress inks. This is one of my favorite new techniques I've tried.

My sentiment is from the same stamp set, inked with VersaFine and stamped right onto the card base. I added a strip of glitter at the bottom in a coordinating blue.

Doesn't that water colored background remind you of a rainy day?

Christmas 2015, pocket page style.

 Christmas 2015 is wrapped up and in the books! I used the tic tac toe challenge for inspiration for this pocket style page. I went with the top row - gold, sparkles, and acetate.

more with Crate Paper, Hello Love collection.

I've been chugging along, working on some layouts with my new Crate Paper Hello, Love collection. I made these two pages last night.

This first page is a photo of my four cousins that I printed from Instagram. I probably never would use that frame from the ephemera pack but it fit perfectly with this photo. I've also had that wood piece in my stash for quite some time so it was good to use that up!

I'm entering this page in the Creative Corner challenges anything goes challenge.
