Steampunk Snowman Birthday Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Anything Goes".  I made my husband a birthday card featuring the adorable Steampunk Snowman stamp from IndigoBlu.

The base is an inky background made with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays and cut using the SkyCrossed Paradise AALL & Create Die Set. The snowman I stamped, watercolored and fussy cut. He's pretty cute – I'll have to work him into some Valentine cards. ;-)

Favorite Eileen Hull Projects of 2025

It's that time of year again! Eileen Hull's Inspiration Team looks back over the year past and picks their three favorite projects that they created. It's hard to just pick three! I did it though and here are mine to share…

From May, my color wheel junk journal featuring Eileen's Handbound Journal Die, Rainbow Wheel Thinlits Die Set and many others. Head on over to the original post to see all the photos and a video flip through.

During the summer, I made a snippet roll in the form of a journal. That was so much fun to make! Go here to see all the details.

Last is a project made using Eileen's newest release, the Home Sweet Home Collection. I love how you can make tunnel album projects with the dies so that's what I created. You can see more and a video here.

More Christmas Cards with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our brand focus is on AALL & Create. They have such a wide range of awesome products! I focused on using their dies and some gorgeous patterned paper from Stamperia.

Using the Holey Fun die set, I fussy cut out sections from the patterned paper pages for the images. The matching scalloped border I cut from the dark green. On the card base, I lightly brayered Eden Lavinia chalk paint to give it some visual texture. The sentiment is cut using the Season's Cheer die set.

Christmas Cards with Creative Expressions & Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our brand focus is on Creative Expressions. They have so many great stamp designs! I'm taking the opportunity to make some more Christmas cards to send.

I really like the Jane's Doodles whimsical Christmas Tree stamp set. I first stamped the trees onto white cardstock and then embossed with clear detail embossing powder. After heat setting, I spayed the backgrounds is with the Lindy's Stamp Gang Autumn Leaves Starburst Spray set (Ponderosa Pines Olive and Autumn Maple Crimson). When that was dry, I laid a piece of absorbent plain newsprint paper over the embossed paper and ironed it with my craft iron. It causes the embossing powder to re-melt and absorb into the newsprint. (Don't let it cool and stick the newsprint to your background!) This gives you a faux batik look.
