Christmas Snowflakes
Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps, we're celebrating CHRISTMAS in July!! I went with a clean and simple design, making Visible Image "Let It Snow" stamp set the star attraction here. With WOW! Embossing Ink and WOW! Weathered Gold embossing powder, I stamped the largest snowflake in the center of the card, and then at each of the four corners, and used a heat tool. The shine on this is gorgeous in person (see second photo below). The very center of the main snowflake has a cluster of juniper berries from PaperArtsy - Alison Bomber - Juniper Edition. I stamped it on a scrap piece of cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with alcohol markers and fussy-cut. It passes easily for a different kind of berry; it's a versatile stamp set!
An early Merry Christmas to you! 😊

Stars & Hydrangea
Hello all! Today, I'm sharing a card that features STARS. That's our theme this week at Topflight Stamps! The base layer of the card has a piece of patterned paper from Craft Consortium Ink Drops - Ocean. Then I made a background of stars with the Darkroom Door Starry Night Small Stencil, and a piece of patterned paper from Craft Consortium's Test of Time paper pad. Though I used a gold stencil paste from Studio Light, the Topflight store has silver in stock for you! My focal point is a hydrangea flower and leaves from Hobby Art Stamps - Hydrangea, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and fussy-cut and colored with alcohol markers. I also stamped a postage stamp from PaperArtsy Ink and The Dog Mini 134 in the same ink and colored it as well. This was tucked beneath a corner of the hydrangea. The final touch is a sentiment from Lavinia's Sticker Collection - Uplifting Sentiments, mounted on foam tape.
Have a wonderful day and Fourth of July holiday to my American friends!

AALL & Create Garden Scene
Hello! We are focusing on AALL & Create products at Topflight Stamps! Flowers and butterflies from AALL & Create Gravel Script Ephemera are the stars of the stage on my card. The background was created with several Lavinia Dye Inks, swiped on a piece of watercolor cardstock, then liberally spritzed with water. The colors I used are: Della Blue, Bermuda, Green Parrot, Pixie Green and Olive. When the piece was dry, I sprayed Lindy's Stamp Gang Fairy Fluff over it to create a sparkly scene. The final touch is a sentiment from Lavinia Sentiment Stickers - Uplifting Collection.

AALL & Create Quirky Post Birds
Hello! We've got an Anything Goes week at Topflight Stamps! I had fun with AALL & Create Quirky Postage die set to create a backdrop for little bird postage stamps from PaperArtsy Scrapcosy ESC19 set. I used two shades of purple cardstock with the postage dies and stacked them, arranging in sort of a quilt style. The birds were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, trimmed and colored with alcohol markers. I layered some of the stamps with foam adhesive tape to pop them up.

Seashell by the Seashore
Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Beach / Ocean! I used several items to create a moody ocean themed card. On a couple of pieces of watercolor paper scraps, I sprinkled PaperArtsy Infusions Dye Sleight Blue powder then spritzed with water liberally. Once dry, I used Studio Light Scenery Borders Waves die set to cut out some waves. I set those aside and used the PaperArtsy Sara Naumann Mini 118 seashell stamp to create a focal point on ivory cardstock, stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. On the card base, I used a PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Summer Edition sentiment stamp and Lavinia Dye Ink Soft Cygnet, stamped repeatedly across the background. Final touches were some enamel dots from my stash, and Hunkydory Classic Pearls.
Thanks so much for your visit today!
Below are the watercolor paper scraps I created with the PaperArtsy Infusions Dye in Sleight Blue. Aren't they beautiful as-is?

IndigoBlu Christmas Card
Hello! At Topflight Stamps this week our focus is on the brand, IndigoBlu! I used their Christmas Dictionary stamp - fabulous background. Love the old font. I stamped it in VersaFine Onyx Black on a neutral colored panel, and layered this panel on a red card base. The focal point is a trio of holly leaf postage stamps from AALL & Create's Carols and Cancellations, carefully trimmed and colored with alcohol markers. I created garlands with PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Mini 92 stamp, which features sprigs of mistletoe. I trimmed out the mistletoe from four stamped images, then touched them with various shades of brown inks and added a touch of glimmer from Lindy's Stamp Gang Pixie Dust.
