Have a Fabulous Day with Stampotique & Topflight Stamps

This week our Topflight Stamps brand focus is Stampotique by Katzelkraft! I'm back again with a second card for you to check out. This time I used the Flos flower stamp for the image.

I pulled some marbled and gel prints out of my stash for the background papers. Using a stamping platform, I stamped the image on another gel print, painted it with Fresco paints, and then restamped the image over the top to bring the details back.

Eileen Hull Stacking Drawer Die Inspiration

Hello there! For the month of September, Eileen Hull's Inspiration Team has been working with the theme, "Top Drawer Inspiration" and making creations using the Stacking Drawer Die (which fits perfectly into the Treasure Box by the way.) It is definitely a very versatile die you'll want in your crafty toolbox!

I'm in full on fall mode now so I was inspired to create a cute autumn themed decoration.

I love how you can configure single drawers in so many different ways. I stacked three of them up to create this little "dresser".

I cut an extra piece of matboard to fit around the three drawers for a neater finish and to give it more stability.

Top view! I raided my stash of little bits and figurines to decorate the top. Also included are some leaf die cuts.

This was pretty easy to put together. See below for some tips!

1) Here are the pieces to build three drawers. The drawers fit tightly in the sleeves. I like to cut a little sliver off the top edge of the drawer piece while it is still flat. Also, glue the drawer bottom inside the drawer and don't stick it on the bottom.

2) Here's the extra piece I hand cut to wrap around the sleeve part. I made my own score lines by cutting partway through the matboard.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to keep an eye on Eileen's blog for more inspiration from the Educator and Inspiration Teams.

Spooky Time with Topflight Stamps

Or not so spooky ha ha. Hello, this week our Topflight Stamps focus is Halloween and Fall themes. The Halloween cards I created fall more into the "cute" category instead of spooky.

I experimented with using the Carabelle Studio mask The Halloween House to make some different backgrounds. For two of them I spritzed spray stains through the mask and on the third I used the inky mask to make a monoprint.

I picked my two favorites to make cards out of. The AALL & Create die set I used is SkyCrossed Paradise (so many great details you can cut with this set!) The star of the card is the super cute little witch cat, a PaperArtsy Zinis mini stamp. I watercolored it and fussy cut out the image.

Katkin Krafts Space Card with Topflight Stamps

Hello, this week our Topflight Stamps brand focus is on Katkin Krafts. I'm back with a second card using the "Fly Me to the Moon" stamp set. 

I first stamped the image onto smooth watercolor paper with clear WOW embossing ink, then embossed with clear powder. This was to create a resist image. After that I spritzed it with water and then sprinkled on Royal Blood and a touch of Slime PaperArtsy Infusions powder.

Blast Off with Katkin Krafts at Topflight Stamps!

Hello, this week our Topflight Stamps brand focus is on Katkin Krafts. They have many fun designs available! I chose to use the "Fly Me to the Moon" stamp set. I love the detail in it.

I chose a slim line card format and paired the space stamp with a sentiment from the Visible Images Birthday Wishes set. I used watercolors to colorize the image after embossing it with Black embossing powder and also spritzed Glimmer Mist through a stencil around the edges.

Beautiful Butterflies with Darkroom Door at Topflight Stamps

Hello, I'm back again with another Topflight Stamps card for you! This week is "Anything Goes" so I had the pleasure of going through my stamp stash to see what tickled my fancy.

It's Fall! – A Card with Topflight Stamps

It's finally September! I'm ready for fall weather and colors so I was inspired to create an autumn themed card using the AALL & Create Garden Times stamp as a focal image.

I raided my stash of monoprints made with a Gel Press Plate for the layer under the main image. (It pays to have a stash!)
