Steampunk Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes. I went steampunk with my choice of the AALL & Create Gearlight Glow stamp set.

I used Sepia Dinkles ink powder and stamping for the grungy background. The AALL & Create Quirky Post die set frames everything nicely.

"Summer Vibes" Yellowstone Vacation Journal with Eileen Hull

Here's part two of my Yellowstone vacation album! Eileen's Creative Team has the theme of "Summer Vibes" for July so I decided to finally make an album with all of the photos and ephemera from our 2019 trip. (See part one of this project here.)

I used Eileen's Full Size Journal Die for the journal base. (To maximize the number of pages I could include in the journal, I didn't overlap the spine pieces. I butted them up next to each other and glued on another piece of mat board I cut to make the spine. I used the Bookbinding & Label Die Set 665153 to create page attachment tabs on the spine. (Like I did for this Halloween journal.)) Following are photos of all the pages:

I used lots of flaps and tuck spots throughout to fit in all the "stuff".

Brand Focus on PaperArtsy with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our brand focus is on PaperArtsy. I have to admit, PaperArtsy is one of my favorite brands! I appreciate that they have such a variety of styles showcased by their different designers. For this card, I chose stamps and a stencil from Mags Woodcock.

I glued some torn pieces of Gel Press prints onto the card base for the background. Over that I stamped and stenciled to add to the collage. (Mags Woodcock sets EMW006 and PS517) I also fussy cut some stamped/watercolored flowers to add and attached them with glue and vintage cello tape stickers.

In the Garden with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes! I was inspired by the Woodware stamp set Garden Wellies to make this cute garden themed card.

The background was created with Lavinia Dinkles ink powders. I used flowers from the PaperArtsy Tracy Scott stamp set #24 to stamp over the background and then layered on fussy cut stamped images from the Garden Wellies set.

"Summer Vibes" with Eileen Hull Designs

Summer is in full swing, that's for sure. Eileen's Creative Team has the theme of "Summer Vibes" for July. That opens up a lot of creative possibilities! We went on a summer vacation to Yellowstone National Park in 2019 and I've been sitting on the photos and collected ephemera since then. I figured it was past time to actually do something with it all! So here we have part one of this project – the cover:

I used Eileen's Full Size Journal Die to cut two cover pieces out of mat board. To maximize the number of pages I can include in the journal, I didn't overlap the spine pieces. I butted them up next to each other and glued on another piece of mat board I cut to make the spine.

I'll be using the Bookbinding & Label Die Set 665153 to create page attachment tabs on the spine. (Like I did for this Halloween journal.) So stay tuned!

Christmas in July with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps we're cooling it down with "Christmas in July"! If you are like most of us, when December rolls around we run short on time for holiday card making. Why not get a start now?

I started off with a shimmery silver gel print background. The main stamp from the Woodware Holy Night set is such a beautiful focal image – I just added some color and gold accents. Perfect!

Happy Independence Day with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Stars". It's certainly the perfect opportunity to create a festive themed card for the 4th of July!

The background was created with Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and Magical Shakers plus some Lavinia Dinkles powder. They all combined with inky goodness! Over that I applies texture paste through the Stars & Rays stencil and then sprinkled on WOW! Caramel Vanilla embossing powder. When the paste was dry, I heat embossed the powder.
