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.

Fall is Here! Autumnal Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Anything Goes". I decided to make another leaf card using the AALL & Create Die Set Leafinitely Detailed because fall is my favorite season! I made backgrounds colored with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays and die cut the leaves out of them. In the background, I added some embossing ink through a stencil to add some texture and embossed it withWOW! Burnt Toffee embossing powder.
