Love is in the Air with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Pink & Red" which of course is perfect for making valentines!


Lisa Hoel for Topflight Stamps #creativejuicefreshsqueezed #topflightstamps


The base is a background made with various pink inks and Maple Crimson Starburst Spray from the Autumn Leaves Lindy's Stamp Gang set. I used a mask (stencil) from Studio Light to make a monoprint of hearts over the inky background. I couldn't resist pulling out a Katzelkraft dragon stamp (love that derpy little guy) to use for my focal image.

Eileen's products aren't just for journals and 3-D projects. They are perfect for card making too! I used her Handbound Journal Die to cut the card bases and embossed the front panels using the Lacy Leaves and Floral Damask embossing folders.

Winter Cottage Thank You Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Anything Goes".  I still have thank you cards to write for Christmas gifts so I thought a wintery thank you card would be appropriate!
