PaperArtsy Thank You Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Anything Goes". I decided to make another thank you card because they are so handy to have around!

I'm a big fan of the designer Lynne Perrella's stamps from PaperArtsy. I decided to use the set LPC056 for this card. The background is made using the Lindy's Stamp Gang Autumn Leaves Starburst Spray set (love that glimmer!)

Say "Thanks" with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our focus is on making thank you cards. You can never have too big a stash of those on hand!

I found a beautiful new stamp in the store – "William Morris Strawberry Thief" by IndigoBlu and I knew I wanted to make good use of it. I tried a few different colorways and these two are my favorites! I paired it with a bold "thanks" sentiment cut using the Paper Rose Layered Thanks die set.

Christmas is Coming with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Christmas". If you like to have handmade cards to send out in December, it's not too early to start making them! (Check out the Christmas/Winter category in the store.)

I love the vintage look of the PaperArtsy Hot Picks Xmas 10 stamp set. I used them to create the stamped background. I also fussy cut the stamped car image out and popped it out with some foam adhesive squares behind it. Green embossing powder on the tree added some nice contrast.

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Mixed Media". (Always lots of fun!) Topflight Stamps carries all sorts of media and tools for your own mixed media adventures.

I applied texture paste through the AALL & Create #100 Nodes over an inky background. Once it was dry, I spritzed and splattered it with Lindy's Smoky Sapphire and Autumn Leaves mists. I also used Winter Green Fresco paint through the PaperArtsy PM025 mini stencil. The owls I stamped, watercolored and fussy cut (from Katzelkraft set KTZ237). Paired with Funny Bone Funnies sentiment strips for a funny snarky card. ;-)

This week at Topflight Stamps our product focus is on Ink – Topflight Stamps carries an array of fab ink pads for all your stamping needs!

I am a huge fan of the Lavinia Elements ink pads. They blend beautifully and there are so many wonderful colors! I used those to make the blended background (don't forget the blending brushes). I also used them (Lime Punch & Russet Orange) to stamp the webs and text. The raven I stamped with Clair Nocturne. A little splatter of Red Hot Poker Orange from the Lindy's Autumn Leaves spray collection added a bit of glimmer.

Have a Purr-fect Day with Topflight Stamps

Officially Fall Celebration Card with Topflight Stamps

Hocus Pocus Halloween Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Fall/Halloween". The season is definitely changing around here! I opted for a Halloween themed card. Topflight Stamps has recently begun carrying mists from Lindy's Stamp Gang and I wanted to make another card using them. (See last week's fall card.) 

I used a Lavinia stencil (Laurel) to apply glow texture paste to a thick multi-media cardstock. When it was dry, I spritzed it with Smoky Sapphire Moon Shadow Mist and water. I loved how it pooled around the texture paste leaves. I also splattered it with some metallic purple acrylic paint. I layered fussy cut mushrooms (Hobby Art stamp set - Fungi), cheesecloth and die cut leaves (AALL & Create die set - Rustling Retreat) over the background.

It glows in the dark! So cool!
