The "lace" under the focal image is stamped onto a colored coffee filter and fussy cut out. Of course I had to add some real vintage buttons to embellish it.

Eileen Hull Treasure Box Die Inspiration

Hello there! For the month of August, Eileen Hull's Inspiration Team has been working with the theme, "What's in the Box?" and making creations using the Treasure Box Die. It is definitely a very versatile die you'll want in your crafty toolbox!

I am a hoarder of vintage buttons so I decided to make a box to store some of them. This will be much better than them sitting in an open bowl getting dusty.

Of course I had to add a gel print embossed with the 3-D Vintage Buttons Embossing Folder.

Crealies Dies with Topflight Stamps - Cat Loving Card

Hello Topflight Stamps fans! This week our brand focus is on Crealies Dies. Adding die cuts to a stamping project is always a nice touch.

Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps

For this card, I used a set of heart dies to cut an aperture in the card front. The exact set I used is out of stock but the Crealies Double Stitch Nesting Hearts 113 Die Set would work just as well.

The stamps set is That Lovin' Feline from Visible Image. The front of the card is stenciled using the #56 Barbary Stars stencil from AALL & Create.

Busy Bees Lavinia Card Duo with Topflight Stamps

Hello Topflight Stamps fans. This week our brand focus is on Lavinia products! I thought I would try making some "clean and simple" cards which is always tough for me ha ha. It's hard to hold back; I want to keep putting more stuff on them.

Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps

I definitely had to give the new Bumble & Hum bees stamp set a try. They are too cute! 
Lavinia stamps are always winners in my book.

Smile! – It's a PaperArtsy Card with Topflight Stamps

Hello Topflight Stamps fans! This week our theme is "Anything Goes". This is always a great chance for me to pull out some of my favorites and have a play. I'm a big fan of the PaperArtsy designer Lynne Perrella so I went straight to the stamp sets I have of hers.

Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps

For this card I chose the Asian art inspired Set 23 (currently out of stock but you can always use Set 21). I have a collection of Japanese patterned paper that I used to make a 'patchwork' card background. The focal image is stamped and embossed with black embossing powder, then watercolored.
