Warm Winter Wishes -- With Coffee!

It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week the team is focusing on Christmas or Winter. Additionally, Topflight Stamps is a super-sponsor for the 2024 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and is giving away a $25 gift certificate to one participant in the blog hop. In honor of the 2024 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, products in the Coffee/Tea/Cocoa categories are on sale at the store. 

Here's my second card created with the Holiday Cheers Clear Stamp Set by Jane's Doodles for Creative Expressions and the Distress Plaid 8x8 Paper Pad by Taylor Made Journals for Creative Expressions. This time I'm using the two coffee-themed stamps in the set. The arch and snowflakes are from the Winter Scenery Die Set from the Arctic Winter Collection by Studio Light. The sentiment is from the Stay Cozy Clear Stamp Set 814 and the holly stamp is from the Miss Merry Clear Stamp Set 608 -- both by Janet Klein for AALL and Create.

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp both festive coffee-themed stamps from the Holiday Cheers Clear Stamp Set by Jane's Doodles for Creative Expressions onto white cardstock. Fussy-cut both of them, color with Copic markers, edge with a black marker, and set them aside.

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the "Warm Winter Wishes" from the Stay Cozy Clear Stamp Set 814 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create and the holly and berries from the Miss Merry Clear Stamp Set 608 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create onto cream cardstock. Use a die to cut the sentiment/holly. Color the holly leaves and berries with Copic markers. Use a white gel pen to add highlights to the holly berries. Use Pinecone VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to edge the sentiment/holly die-cut.

Use the arch die from the Winter Scenery Die Set from the Arctic Winter Collection by Studio Light to cut brown cardstock. Position the snowflake arch die on the scalloped arch die-cut, secure the die with low-tack tape, and run it through your die-cut machine.

Trim a piece of brown plaid patterned paper from the Distress Plaid 8x8 Paper Pad by Taylor Made Journals for Creative Expressions to 4.25" x 6.25". Use Pinecone VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to edge the cardstock.

Adhere the edged plaid paper to an A6 brown card. Adhere the snowflake arch to the plaid paper. Adhere the coffee cups and the sentiment die-cut as shown. Add white rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes on the arch.

Need to Mass Produce Christmas Cards?

Hi friends. Alanna with you today with a pair of super quick and easy Christmas cards to share. If you find yourself in need of quick cards that are easy to mass produce and easy to mail, then these fit the bill.

They all start with the gorgeous Jingle all the Way paper from Craft Consortium. I took one of the patterns and trimmed it down and then stamped the sentiments. The large Christmas is from the Holly Jolly set from Studio Light. The smaller sentiments are from the Christmas Tree set, also from Studio Light. All of them were stamped with the Versafine Claire Acorn ink. 

After my stamping was done, I adhered the panels to white A2 notecards. Now I have two more very mail friendly Christmas cards for my stash.

Find these products I used below in the Topflight Stamps store. 

Crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

Happy Halloween!

BOO! Lisa Hoel here. Hello, and Happy Halloween! I'm back with another Topflight Stamps card for you. Of course I had to make another Halloween card since it's the actual day…

I pulled out the handy Distress Plaid Paper Pad from Creative Expressions for the background. (Love that paper!) I also love the funky die sets from AALL & Create so I included several bits cut using the SkyCrossed Paradise set. Hobby Art and PaperArtsy stamps finished it off!

PaperArtsy Mixed Media Card

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. I'm back with another Topflight Stamps card for you! This week's theme is "Anything Goes" so I had the pleasure of going through my stamp stash to find my inspiration.

My focal image for this collage card is from one of my favorite PaperArtsy designers, Lynne Perrella (set LPC048). I paired it with a gel print background and die cuts (Masterpiece Design - Tag It).

Witching Hour

It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. It's an "Anything Goes" week and Halloween is Thursday. 

However, before I get to my card, I want to remind you about the sale going on at Topflight Stamps! There are loads of new products that you'll want to get for your friends or yourself!

Here's one of my last Halloween cards for the year (maybe) that was created with Faba, Marcie, and Hocus and Pocus Clear Polymer Stamps by Lavinia Stamps plus Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps.

Low-tack tape was placed across the bottom of a piece of Mixed Media cardstock and  one of the Acetate Circles Masks by Lavinia Stamps was secured to the top center of the panel. Dark Denim and Blue Lagoon Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps were sponged over the tape and the circle mask to create a night sky.

The tape was moved to cover the the bottom part of the sky. Olive and Pine Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps were sponged over the tape onto the bottom of the panel to create a lawn. The circle mask and low-tack tape were removed. White Metallic PanPastels were used to add white shimmer to the moon.

Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp both Faba  and Marcie on the top of the lawn. Hocus and Pocus were stamped between the witches using Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink.

The image panel was heat set. Markers were used to color the witches hair, the details of their dresses, the broom, and the lantern. A Gelly Roll Bold Line Stardust Clear Glittering Ink by Sakura was used to glitter to the center of the lantern and around the moon.

The image panel was trimmed, edged with a black marker, and adhered to a black card. A sticker sentiment was added to finish the card.
