Spread Fairy Dust

  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!




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 RestEira 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. 


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

Rise & Shine Coffee Card

It's Tuesday which means you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. It's an "Anything Goes" week. Here's a snarky coffee-themed card created with Crack Me Up Clear Stamp Set 1410, Warm Hugs Die Set DI-102, Radiant Rise 6x6 Stencil PC-257, and Inspire Washi Tape 2. I also used Confetti, Lemon Drop, and Sundance Elements Premium Dye Inks by Lavinia Stamps.


Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp the rooster from the Crack Me Up Clear Stamp Set 1410 by AALL and Create twice — once onto a panel of white Copic-friendly cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 

Use the coffee mug die (not the Memory Dex die) from the Warm Hugs Die Set DI-102 by AALL and Create to cut the image panel and a scrap of repositionable sticker paper. Fussy-cut the oval coffee contents part of the coffee mug (outlined by dotted lines) sticker paper to create a mask. Position the sticker paper mask on the image panel die-cut.

Color the rooster with Copic markers. Fussy-cut the sticker paper rooster and place him over his counterpart on the image panel die-cut.

Brush or sponge light blue dye ink over the image panel die-cut. Use the same ink to edge the image panel die-cut. 

Remove the mask from the rooster and the interior of the coffee mug. Use Copic markers to color the mug's contents. Use a white chalk pencil to add highlights to the coffee mug image panel die-cut, then set it aside.

Cut a piece of mixed media paper to 6" x 6.75" to create the background panel. Brush or sponge Confetti Elements Premium Dye Ink by Lavinia Stamps onto the bottom ~1.75" of the background panel. Sponge Lemon Drop Elements Premium Dye Ink over the rest of the background panel, blending the ink where the colors meet.

Use magnets or low-tack tape to secure the Radiant Rise 6x6 Stencil PC-257 by AALL and Create to the top of the background panel. Brush Sundance Elements Premium Dye Ink over the stencil onto the background panel to add a tone on tone effect.

Trim the background panel to 4.75" x 6.75". Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to edge the panel.

Add Inspire Washi Tape 2 by AALL and Create horizontally across the bottom part of the background panel as shown. Adhere the image panel die-cut to the background panel so that the base of the coffee mug is sitting on the washi tape. 

Adhere the background panel to a black 5" x 7" card. Add a sticker sentiment to finish the card.
