Look Up with Lavinia

Hello!  It's Thursday and you've got Colleen here to share a card.  This week at Topflight Stamps, we're focusing on Lavinia stamps, stencils, inks and more.  I knew I wanted to create a scene with the adorable Pipspell mouse.  I gathered the Lavinia Moon, Christmas Tree Group and Pipspell, and stamped them all in Versafine Onyx Black ink.  Then I inked up grass and sky using the following Lavinia Dye Inks:  Della Blue, Graphite, Olive, Green Parrot and Violet Chalk.  I used a yellow ink from my stash.  Once the inks were dry, I splashed some water onto the card to create a magical touch.  The sentiments from Lavinia Sentiment Stickers - Uplifting Collection were added at the end:  "Look up and breathe..."

Have a wonderful day! ~ Colleen

  It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a project with you! This week's product focus is on Lavinia Stamps! 

BUT, before I get to my post, I must remind you that you still have time to take advantage of Topflight Stamps Memorial Day Sale, though you'd better hurry as the sale ends tonight at 11:59 PM EDT!

Here's my card created with Lavinia Stamps' Faelorn Rest Clear Polymer Stamp, the Eira Fairy Clear Polymer Stamp, the Magpies Clear Polymer Stamp Set, and the Fairy Dust Clear Polymer Sentiment Stamp. 

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the Faelorn Rest Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps twice — once onto white Copic-friendly cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 

Position the Eira Fairy Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps facedown so that her feet and knees are atop the grass on the Faelorn Rest stump. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink  to stamp her twice — once onto white Copic-friendly cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 

Position the flying magpie stamp from the Magpies Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps so that his beak is close to Eira's outstretched index finger. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink  to stamp her twice — once onto white Copic-friendly cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 

Use Copic markers to color Faelorn Rest, Eira Fairy, the Magpie, and the lawn. Use B63 and B41 Copic markers to outline the images.

Fussy-cut the sticker paper versions of Faelorn Rest, Eira Fairy, the Magpie and place them atop their counterparts on the image panel as masks.

Sponge or brush Della Blue Elements Premium Dye Ink by Lavinia Stamps over the masked images to create a background sky on the panel. Use an Isopropyl Alcohol-filled Fine Spray Mister by Spectrum Noir to mist the panel to add white speckles and blend the ink. 

Sponge or brush Confetti Elements Premium Dye Ink over the masked image panel to add touches of pink to the sky. 

Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the Fairy Dust Clear Polymer Sentiment Stamp by Lavinia Stamps as shown. 

Remove the masks from the images.

Trim the image panel to 4.25" x 6" and edge with B63 and YG17 Copic markers. Use a Bold Stardusgt Clear Glittering Gelly Roll Gel Pen by Sakura to add "fairy dust" between the Magpie's beak and Eira's index finger.

Adhere the image panel to a black A6 card.

2026 Spring Summer Coffee Lover's Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the 2026 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Hi friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and I’m so excited to be joining this year’s Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with Topflight Stamps, who is a proud sponsor of the hop!

To celebrate our shared love of coffee and crafting, I created a magical coffee-inspired card featuring The Cup stamp set from Chou & Flowers. This sweet set includes two stamps, giving you the option to add the little houses or leave them off. I chose to include them because I loved the idea of creating a whimsical scene tucked inside the cup.

I started by stamping and white heat embossing the images onto my background. Then I sprinkled Lindy’s Gang Boho Dreams Magicals over the embossed images to create a soft boho-style background. I love the dreamy, magical look these powders add, especially when they blend and move around the embossed details.

 

Once the background was dry, I added a little detailed watercoloring and some ink blending around the edges to frame the scene and give it a little extra depth. To finish the card, I drew a simple hand-drawn frame and added the perfect sentiment from Lavinia.

I love how this card came together with its mix of coffee, color, and a little bit of magic. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy all the beautiful inspiration in the hop!

Postal Collage

Hello all!  You've got Colleen here for an "Anything Goes" week at Topflight Stamps.  I had fun making a collage card with various elements from PaperArtsy stamps:  Alison Bomber Rosehips Edition; Alison Bomber Violets Edition; Alison Bomber Blackthorn Edition; Alison Bomber Apple Blossom Edition and Scrapcosy 41.  Each of these sets has a little postage stamp / postmark / small label, and I stamped each one on scrap paper and colored in with alcohol markers, then fussy cut.  I set these aside to create my background.  On watercolor paper cut to fit my card, I sprayed Lindy's Stamp Gang Buccaneer Bay Blue in a random way, then spritzed water to help the color move around.  While that was drying, I tore a piece of kraft paper from a shopping bag into a smaller rectangle.  I spritzed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Gossamer Gold, and followed up with some sprays of water to move the color.  Once that was dry, I assembled all of the little elements in the center of the kraft rectangle, and added some scraps of burlap in two corners.

The Lavinia Uplifting Collection Stickers have their spot(s) on here too.  I used the white ones from the sticker set (they come in black and a neutral tone, too) and grunged them up with distress ink.

Wishing you a wonderful day! ~ Colleen
