AALL & Create Thank You Card

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps we were tasked with creating Thank You cards. I decided to use an AALL & Create stamp set and die set to create a fun card.

The background is a Gel Press print. I layered the die cuts and fussy cut stamped cat image over it. That Hocus Pocus makes me smile!

Trick or Treat! Vintage Candy Box Halloween Scene

Happy Halloween! A few weeks ago I shared this picture of a vintage Hershey's candy box that I was pondering for use in a Halloween project. When I saw the Simon Says Stamp theme this week (Trees), the final idea popped into my head. 

I decided to make a 'front door' Trick or Treat scene complete with a porch full of Halloween decorations. (Reminds me of our porch lol.)

I used a variety of Tim Holtz Sizzix dies and 3-D embossing folders plus a bunch of his Idea-ology products too. I love making little miniature scenes!

Merry Christmas with Topflight Stamps

We are taking a brief detour from all the Fall/Halloween projects and this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Christmas/Winter". There are a load of new holiday products in the store, check them out!

I used the AALL & Creat stencil Winter Quiet plus Lindy's Tawny Turquoise Moon Shadow Mist spray to create the background. After that, I layered on fussy cut stamped images from the super cute Frost It stamp set.

Mixed Media Birthday Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Mixed Media". It's always fun to pull out different supplies and play around. I started off with a gel print for the background (it's good to have a print stash on hand!) I covered an AALL & Create stencil with watered down black paint to create a monoprint over that. I then added some texture paste through another AALL & Create stencil and covered it withWOW! Weathered Gold embossing powder. When the paste was dry, I heat embossed the powder.

Spooky Halloween Idea-ology Vignette – Simon Says Stamp Challenge

I'm in full Halloween crafting mode and was very happy to see that this week's Simon Says Stamp Challenge theme this week is Halloween/Spooky. I've had this little vintage silver creamer (nicely beat up with great patina) for a long time and I knew it would be a perfect base for a Halloween project. I have all my Halloween Tim Holtz Idea-ology spread all over so it was easy to whip up a cute little vignette. Hot glue for the win!

Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Think Pink!

I discovered that Simon Says Stamp has challenges each week and decided to enter. It's always fun to have a theme to tailor your design to. This week it's "Think Pink". I wanted to try making a Halloween card and adding pink to it. (I also wanted an excuse to use the super cute embossing folder I got from them last month.)

I embossed a piece of peach cardstock and then blended orange and pink pearlized Distress Crayons. I also used pink cardstock and flicked it with Worn Lipstick Distress Spitz. Lots of pink! I'm going to send this card to the little girls of some family friends. Perfect! ;-)

Inky Halloween Card with Topflight Stamps

Hello there! This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Inks". The store carries a veritable rainbow of colors in different brands. Lavinia's Elements Ink Pads are some of my favorites – they blend beautifully.

I started with a shimmery background made with Lindy's Enchanted Forest Magicals powders. Over that, I used the Halloween House mask and Violet Chalk and Lime Punch Elements ink to blend an inky background. I stamped, watercolored and fussy cut out the cute characters from the AALL & Create Pumpkin Pals stamp set.
