Happy Halloween with Topflight Stamps!

BOO! Hello, and Happy Halloween! I'm back with another Topflight Stamps card for you. Of course I had to make another Halloween card since it's the actual day…

I pulled out the handy Distress Plaid Paper Pad from Creative Expressions for the background. (Love that paper!) I also love the funky die sets from AALL & Create so I included several bits cut using the SkyCrossed Paradise set.

Anything Goes with Topflight Stamps

Hello, I'm back with another Topflight Stamps card for you! This week's theme is "Anything Goes" so I had the pleasure of going through my stamp stash to find my inspiration.

My focal image for this collage card is from one of my favorite PaperArtsy designers, Lynne Perrella (set LPC048). I paired it with a gel print background and die cuts (Masterpiece Design - Tag It).

Getting a Start on Christmas Cards with Topflight Stamps

I know it's only October but if you want to make a bunch of cards to send out in December, it pays to get an early start! This week on the Topflight Stamps blog we are focusing on "Christmas and Winter" for our projects. 

There are SO MANY cute Christmas stamps in the store. This one really caught my eye. It's called Raccoons and Gingerbread from Katzelkraft. It makes me smile.

Mixed Media + Halloween with Topflight Stamps

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Mixed Media". I love using "all the things" so this is right up my alley! I'm in Halloween crafting mode so I chose to make an appropriately themed card.

The background is a Gel Press print to which I applied texture paste through a PaperArtsy Mini Stencil, then sprinkled with Oiled Slate WOW Embossing Powder. Once the paste was dry, I heat embossed the powder. I layered on die cuts, fussy cut Katzelkraft stamped images and fabric.

It's All About Paint! – Mixed Media with Topflight Stamps

This week our Topflight Stamps theme is Paint which is a go to supply to have in your stash! Topflight Stamps carries a variety of paint for your creative enjoyment. Lavinia and PaperArtsy create some of my favorite acrylic paints (you can stamp on them so easily) and I've used both in my mixed media card below:

The background is a collage of aluminum metal pieces stuck onto cardstock and then painted over with Thistle Mist paint. (TIP: wipe down the metal tape with rubbing alcohol before painting to remove any residue.) Once it was dry, I lightly sanded it to remove some of the paint and reveal the metal. Cool! More paint through a stencil and stamping with permanent ink added more visual texture.

Over the background I added a tag cut from cardstock and a Gel Press print. More die cut bits and a focal image (PaperArtsy LPM13) finished it off!

Gel Press Print Fun with Topflight Stamps

This week our Topflight Stamps theme is Anything Goes! These are always fun because I can search through my Topflight stash and use whatever strikes my fancy.

First I rifled through my pile of Gel Press prints to make the card backgrounds. (Trust me, if you try gel printing, you will end up with a pile of prints. It's addicting!) Then I used the Crafty Individuals Tall Wild Flowers Stamp to create the focal images. You could make a whole set of these cards to use as a gift.
