Le Petit Dahlia

Hello!  This week at Topflight Stamps we are using washi tape on our creations.  I had fun with some AALL & Create Blooming Splodge #74 - gorgeous pink flowers on this one.  I laid down a strip of the washi tape on scrap cardstock and glued it down so it has no chance of peeling up.  Then I used a flower punch from my stash and punched out a couple to use on my card.  Moving on to the card base, I positioned the PaperArtsy "Le Petit Dahlia" stencil over my card and brushed on Lavinia Truffle Dye Ink where the words appear near top and bottom.  I used a pink ink from my stash for the dahlia itself, and this Lavinia Pink Elephant ink pad is a really good match for it.  Then I cleaned the stencil, and took out some stenciling paste to highlight the word "PARIS" from it.  Back to the washi tape, I used a piece of it to decorate the very bottom of the card front, added my punched flowers, and the final touch:  pearls!  Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles Precious Pearls are my favorite way to add some bling to cards!  I used them on the washi tape punched flowers as well as surrounding the word "PARIS".

Mixed Media Butterflies

Hello!  This week at Topflight Stamps we are focusing on Mixed Media.  For my card, I lightly spritzed water on a piece of watercolor paper. Then on a silicone mat, I smushed some Lavinia Graphite Dye Ink and also spritzed it lightly with water.  I placed the watercolor paper onto the ink and picked it up, dabbed it in a different place, lifted it, etc.  Once dry, I laid the Lavinia Laurel stencil over it and added grit paste.  When that dried, I used my fingertip to smooth on some gold paste.  On some white cardstock, I stamped a butterfly twice from the AALL & Create Delicate Wings set, fussy cut and layered on to the base. It looked a little bare at that point, so I opened the Creative Expressions French Fabric Tags stamp set and stamped two little tags.  After sponging both of them with a light brown ink, they were added as a layer in front of the butterflies. Finally, a few purple punched flowers dotted with Hunkydory Pearls topped it off.

Joy and Peace

Hello, it's me again.  I'm here to share a festive Christmas creation. 😊

This week at Topflight Stamps, we are focusing on AALL and Create dies.  I used AALL and Create ATC Festive dies to create a pretty frame for the sentiments (they're included too!).

It might be hard in a photo to see the glamourous shimmer on this card, with the soft gold and silver glitter papers.  In real life, they shine beautifully!  I used the gold glitter paper for the fancy little flourish die, cutting out four of them to grace each corner of the black panel.  I added shiny little silver balls on them, as well.  They are from Hunkydory's Diamond Sparkle Gemstones. They have adhesive backings so they're easy to add to a paper project.

There are three sentiments included in this ATC Festive die set:  Joy, Jingle and Peace.  The script font is easy to read and has a pretty flourish.

Joyful Robins

Hello all!  I am here to share with you a card created for the Topflight Stamps Design Team as we highlight AALL & Create products this week!   I used the ATC Festive die set for my sentiment.  It looks pretty with a subtle silver glitter paper, and lives up to the 'festive' name!  I also used the Crafty Individuals - Jolly Holly Robins to coordinate with the 'joy' die cut.  Those little birds are singing amidst holly branches... definitely a joyful scene!  These were mounted on a panel of deep red patterned paper, to make both the image and the die cut pop.
