Send Someone a Love-ly Card for Valentine's Day

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is all about Valentine's Day and I'm back with another card to share! (Check out the large selection of Love themed stamps and stencils in the store.) I had some stencil fun on this card.

I laid the Studio Light Stencil Grungy Hearts onto a sheet of white mixed media card stock and then sprayed it all over with Pinkella Mysticals Mist. I left the stencil in place and sprinkled some tiny bits of Burgandy Dinkles Ink Powder onto it as well. I also spritzed on a bit of extra water to help the powder crystals dissolve. I let the stencil lie on the paper while everything dried and removed it afterwards.

Valentine's Day Cards with Topflight Stamps

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is all about Valentine's Day! It's fun to make cards for friends and loved ones and there is certainly a large selection of stamps and stencils to choose from in the store. I made this cute card:

The background is a sheet of AALL & Create Design Paper from the Papyrus Vert #7 pack. (Handy and quick!) I stamped over that using the Heartfelt Pattern Carabelle Stencil / Stamp Set. I topped it off with some fussy cut images from the AALL & Create Stamp Set, Heart Hugs, stamped and watercolored.

Getting Creative in 2025 with Topflight Stamps

Welcome 2025! I can't believe it's the start of a new year already. Hopefully you all have had a joyful and creative holiday season. I always find myself in need of some thank you cards this time of year so I made a set as my project for the week:

I kept it simple – a few background stamps for visual texture and pieces of gorgeous AALL & Create Washi tape (Priority Dispatch). My goal is to send off my Christmas thank you notes by the end of the week.

Happy New Year with Topflight Stamps!

Hello I'm back again for Topflight Stamps! This week the designers are focusing on the new year. I created another New Year's card:

The AALL & Create Studded Stars stencil is perfect for creating a festive New Years background. I applied texture paste through the stencil to black cardstock and then sprinkled gold embossing powder over it. When it dried, I heat embossed. Then I just added the sentiment (from Go To Christmas Words) in the middle. I also splattered it with silver Glimmer Mist for some extra shine.

New Year's 2025 Card with Topflight Stamps

Merry Christmas! I know you aren't focused on January 1st yet, but it will be upon us soon! This week the designers are focusing on the new year. I created a New Year's card to give to a friend.

I spritzed Silver Dollar Prism Glimmer Mist through the AALL & Create Studded Stars stencil to create the background. Then I just added the sentiment (from Go To Christmas Words) and some die cut numbers. Easy!

Favorite Eileen Hull Projects of 2024

The year has sure flown on by! It's become a tradition that Eileen Hull's designers pick their top three favorite projects from the year. (This is always hard ha ha.) So, without further ado, here are mine…

First we have the "Four Seasons" Mini Book Box created in March. It uses the Storage Box Die and holds four themed Mini Books:

Next is a project created in June – the painterly blooms notebook. This used Eileen's June product release, the Notebook Die, Watercolor Flowers & Lattice Layered Stencil Set and Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits Die Set. You can find the tutorial here.

Lastly is this stitched album I created in October. I used the Mini Album Die to cut the cover base and then sewed a variety of wool scraps, trims, notions and buttons on it. It was loads of fun to make!

Robot Cats, Mixed Media and Birthday Cards with Topflight Stamps

Hello, I have a Topflight Stamps card for you! This week's brand focus is on Katzelkraft. I used the Katzelkraft stamp sets Holiday Quotes, Robot Cat and Electrical Circuit to make a birthday card for my husband. 

I stamped Electrical Circuit on a gel print background with embossing ink, then embossed with WOW! Sea Salt embossing powder. The Robot Cat I stamped on other paper, painted it with watercolors and then fussy cut it out. It's popped up on a mini wobbler so it has some fun "action" when you shake the card.
