Pink & Red = Valentine Cards with Topflight Stamps

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is all about using the colors Red & Pink so I'm back with another Valentine card to share! (Check out the large selection of Love themed stamps and stencils in the store.) I had some more stencil fun on this card. (Stencils are on SALE through the end of the month!)

I laid the Studio Light Stencil Grungy Hearts onto a sheet of red card stock and then sprayed it all over with Pinkella Mysticals Mist. It has a more subtle appearance that springs into view when the light hits the shine. It make a great background for various tags cut out of different pieces of cardstock (Regency Bunting #44 and Tag Mini Album Die Sets).

The little cat is the PaperArtsy Zinis Stamp 
ZN35. I watercolored and fussy cut it out.

Sending Warm Wishes Friendship Card with Eileen Hull

Hello Eileen Hull fans! This month our Creative Team theme is "Friendship" and the designers have been making all sorts of projects. Cards have been quite a popular choice, so I followed suite with a greeting card as well…

Lisa Hoel for Eileen Hull - Friendship card!  #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #EileenHull  #eileenhulldesigns  #sizzix #mymakingstory #TeamEileen #mysizzixstory

We are having cold and wintery weather here so I was inspired to use the Box Snowman Die and the Sweater 3D Embossing Folder to create a cute greeting card to send off to a friend. I embossed a blue inky background I had with the Sweater folder (such detailed texture!) The snowman is die cut out of regular cardstock and Gel Press prints. (It doesn't have to be a 3D box!) Now I just have to decide who to send this to. ;-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You Card with Topflight Stamps

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes! I decided to make a layered thank you card:


Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps


The background is a gel print from my print stash. I used the AALL & Create Digits Geared Stencil and Sahara Lavinia Elements Ink to make a pattern over that. I then layered on various die cuts (Skycrossed Paradise #34) and washi tape (Twine #15). I also used some of the ready to go AALL & Create Ephemera Die Cuts (Clipped Mailers #67). They are so handy!

Send Someone a Love-ly Card for Valentine's Day

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is all about Valentine's Day and I'm back with another card to share! (Check out the large selection of Love themed stamps and stencils in the store.) I had some stencil fun on this card.

Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps

I laid the Studio Light Stencil Grungy Hearts onto a sheet of white mixed media card stock and then sprayed it all over with Pinkella Mysticals Mist. I left the stencil in place and sprinkled some tiny bits of Burgandy Dinkles Ink Powder onto it as well. I also spritzed on a bit of extra water to help the powder crystals dissolve. I let the stencil lie on the paper while everything dried and removed it afterwards.
