Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps, we're focusing on a sweet brand called Chou & Flowers. I used Lemon Flower, which has a filigree frame and lemon flowers and leaves. I stamped the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, fussy cut and colored those, and set aside. I stamped the frame with embossing ink, sprinkled on WOW! Embossing Powder in Silver Smudge and used a heat tool to set it, and trimmed it. On my white cardstock background, I sprayed Lavinia Spring Moss, spritzed with a little water, and set aside to dry. Once dry, I used Darkroom Door Small Stencil "Crackle" and Studio Light Stencil Paste in Gold (Silver featured here) to create some shimmery interest along the bottom half of card. The Chou & Flowers frame and lemon flowers were glued on top, and little pearls from Hunkydory were added to the flower centers.

Strawberry Tag with PaperArtsy
Hello all! This week at Topflight Stamps we are focusing on the PaperArtsy brand. It's a vast category, they have so many products in our store! For my tag, I began with a couple of Fresco Chalk Paint in two colors: Spring and Winter Green and paired them with PaperArtsy Alison Bomber PS487 and PS472 Large Stencils. After the background was dry, I carefully glued down some petite strawberry plants, courtesy of PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Strawberry Edition stamp set. They'd been stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink on scrap white cardstock, colored and fussy-cut. I also stamped and cut out the words that come with that stamp set: botanical, medicinal, floral and herbal, and added them on here individually. There's a round label that comes with the set too, and I used that, plus a postage stamp image from the PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Rosehips Edition stamp set. They decorate a piece of abaca ribbon I've had for decades.

My birthday card features lots of dazzling shine. I made an inky background on a piece of watercolor cardstock using Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow Mist Gossamer Gold spray. Love how it gives both a walnut color AND a shimmery gold too. I stamped some hydrangeas and leaves from Hobby Art Stamps Hydrangea with VersaFine Onyx Black ink in random spots on the panel. Then I stenciled some pretty glitter through the PaperArtsy PS323 Sara Naumann numbers/letters stamp in a few places. On a scrap of white cardstock, I used the Crealies Double Stitched Rectangle and die cut a piece for my sentiment (from the Hydrangea stamp set too). The rectangle was cut in half and edges were inked. The final touch was a snippet of crochet lace.

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".

Pink Hearts Valentine
Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps we are using red and pink as our theme. I created a Valentine, focusing heavily on pink. On a pink cardstock base, I stamped the script from Studio Light Victorian Dreams stamp set to cover the background, using Lavinia Spun Candy dye ink. A manila tag is full of hearts, thanks to the same Spun Candy ink and a PaperArtsy Sara Naumann Hearts Stencil (PS121). I used a strip of the Studio Light Victorian Dreams packaging to decorate the bottom of that tag, along with some rosette ribbon from my stash. The butterflies are from that same stamp set, stamped in Morning Mist by Versafine Clair, trimmed and glued down in the centers of their bodies only so that the wings can stand up. The sentiment was selectively stamped / trimmed from a PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Love Edition quote.

Starry Birthday
Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps, we are sharing our star-themed creations. I've got a starry birthday card to show, which positively GLITTERS in person, thanks to Spectrum Noir Glitter Paste in Candlelight Gold and the Darkroom Door Starry Night Small Stencil. The glitter paste is a dream to spread over a stencil, goes on easily and give such a 'wow' factor. The background panel is navy, which is a good contrast for the gold stars. The white panel was made with with a Crealies Stitched Rectangle, on which a sentiment from Visible Image Go To Words was stamped. I finished it up with some gold star ribbon trim from my stash, and a few red stars.
