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!

The base is an inky background made with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays. The focal image is Crafty Individuals stamp Little Cottage in the Snow. I painted it with watercolors (and the snow is sparkly!) I really like the details designs of Crafty Individuals stamps.

Officially Fall Celebration Card with Topflight Stamps

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Leaves" and I'm feeling the autumn vibe. Fall is my favorite season so this card is a celebration of the colors and fall feels.

The background is created with the lovely Autumn Leaves Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays set. The glimmer is so pretty! I topped that with an image (Crafty Individuals stamp Falling Leaves Repeating Background) stamped on top of a background made with PaperArtsy Infusions Dye.

Think Spring with Topflight Stamps

Hello, I'm back with another Topflight Stamps project for you! This week's theme is "Spring/Mother's Day". I created a pair of cards to give to my Mom and Mother-in-law next month.

I stamped Summer Meadow using embossing ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder to form a resist. Then I blended Lavinia ink over the image and also added some Lavinia Dinkles Ink Powder around the edges. Stenciling and die cutting finished it off.

Crafty Individuals Christmas Card with Topflight Stamps

Hello, happy December! I'm back with another Topflight Stamps Christmas card for you. This week's brand focus is on Crafty Individuals and there is a wide variety of their wonderful designs available in the store. Crafty Individuals stamps are red rubber and sold unmounted so don't forget to get some mounting foam too.

I used a gel print from my stash for the background and embossed snowflakes onto it with the Snowflakes PaperArtsy stencil and silver texture paste. The focal image, Crafty Individuals Christmas Angel of Love, I stamped with Blue Atoll and then immediately dusted it with blue Perfect Pearls powder to give it a metallic finish.

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.

Feeling Butterflies with Topflight Stamps

Hello, this week on the Topflight Stamps blog the theme is all about Butterflies! I'm starting to see real butterflies out in my garden and they are always a welcome sight. Of course butterfly stamps, stencils and dies are always popular for us crafters too. Let's take a look at the butterfly card I created:

I was happy to try out the Crafty Individuals stamp Trio of Inky Butterflies. I stamped it first in blue (Blue Atoll from Lavinia). On another sheet of paper, I stamped it in black permanent ink, watercolored it, and then fussy cut the butterflies out to place over the blue background.

The whole center butterfly portion of the card is adhered to a gel print background I had in my stash.

It's Christmas in July at Topflight Stamps!

Hello! With all the summer heat we're experiencing right now, some Christmas coolness might very well be what you are wishing for! This week on the Topflight Stamps blog you will get your wish because the team is showcasing Christmas in July projects. I created a card using the delightfully detailed Santa's Sleigh Ride stamp from Crafty Individuals.

I stamped the image onto watercolor paper and then painted it. I just love all the fine detail in the stamp. (Tip - use a stamping platform so if you don't get a perfectly clear stamped image the first time, you can re-ink and fix it.)

The background is embossed Rinea Foil Paper that I had adhered to cardstock for extra sturdiness. You can use their Ghost Ink for several cool techniques; I used it to remove some of the color from the embossed areas of the foil to give it a distressed look.

Thanks for stopping by! Below is a list of supplies I used. Be sure to check out the Topflight Stamps blog for more inspiration. There is always something fun to see there!

Hickory Dickory Dock…

…the mouse ran up the…bookmark? ;-) I'm back with another project for Topflight Stamps. This week the team is focusing on stamps from Crafty Individuals. I received the Hickory Dickory Dock stamp set and it just called out for a bookish application – hence a bookmark!

I love the detail in the Crafty Individuals stamps. I lightly stamped and inked in the background with Distress Ink and then let the main stamping take front stage. A little bit of watercolor highlights the design. I think I'm going to laminate this to protect it and make it a very practical bookmark. =)
