A Festive Tea Party Christmas Card

 

Hello craft friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and today I’m finally putting to use a supply I’ve been a little too good at saving. Washi lovers, you’ll understand the struggle. I adore it, I collect it, and then I get nervous about actually using it.

 

This time I pulled out the Tea Party washi from Penpaling Paula. It’s cheerful, whimsical, and perfect for a quick Christmas design paired with the AALL & Create Season’s Cheer sentiment.

To build the card, I lined the washi across a piece of red cardstock, keeping the pattern tight and clean. Once the panel was covered, I die cut the Season’s Cheer sentiment from glittery gold cardstock and adhered it right on top. It’s simple, bright, and definitely delivers that Christmas sparkle.

 

If you’re hopping along with the Coffee Lover’s Blog Hop, I hope you’re enjoying all the inspiration. If you haven’t joined in yet, follow the link and jump in. There are some great prizes waiting.

Enjoy your weekend, and happy crafting!

Baa Humbug - A Caffeinated Holiday Card

Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here today to share a project with you. 

Before I get to that, I wanted to remind you that Topflight Stamps is thrilled to be a sponsor of the 2025 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. What’s a hop without prizes?!? The information telling you how you can enter to win a $25 gift card to the Topflight Stamps store will be at the end of today's post!

This week's theme is "Anything Goes" and I've opted to join the caffeinated fun by creating a humorous coffee-centric holiday card with the Enervy Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp by Katzelkraft, the Skullduggery Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Indigo Blu, the Snap Thoughts Die Set DI-90 by AALL and Create, and the Jolly Christmas 8x8 Patterned Paper Pad by Woodware/Creative Expressions.

Here it is!

Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko  to stamp Enervy twice — once onto white cardstock and once onto repositionable sticker paper. Use Copic markers to color Enervy. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version of him and place it atop his counterpart on the image panel as a mask. 

Place the small wavy-edged rectangle die from the Snap Thoughts Die Set DI-90 by AALL and Create facedown on the image panel, so that the die is framing the masked Enervy. Secure the die with low-tack tape, then run the sandwich through the die-cut machine. 

Flip the secured cutting die/die-cut panel to the reverse. Use low-tack tape to secure the die-cut to the back of the image image.

Flip the panel over again so that the masked image and the cutting die are facing upwards. Secure the cutting die in place with low-tack tape. Be sure that the tape is not obscuring the image panel.

Place a piece of low-tack tape horizontally just above Enervy's paws and tail end but with the die still showing. Brush or sponge light green ink over the cutting die, the masked image, and the low-tack tape onto the image panel die-cut.

Move the low-tack tape so that it's covering the bottom part of the die-cut and the inked area. Brush or sponge the same light green ink over the cutting die, the masked image, and the tape onto the image panel die-cut. 

Place a snowflake stencil over the top part of the image panel and brush or sponge the same green ink over the stencil onto the image panel.

Remove the stencil, the die-cut, the tape, and the repositionable sticker paper mask. You should be left with a white border around the edge of the die-cut.

Brush or sponge the same light green ink onto a small piece of white cardstock and secure the inked panel to the base of a stamping platform. Use Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko to stamp "Baa Humbug" and "Naughty/Nice" stamps from the Skullduggery Cling Mounted Stamp Set by Indigo Blu onto the inked cardstock. Trim the Naughty/Nice panel and use a sentiment cutting die to cut the "Baa Humbug" panel. Edge both sentiment pieces with the same green ink.

Choose a piece of patterned paper from the Jolly Christmas 8x8 Patterned Paper Pad by Woodware/Creative Expressions and cut it to 4.25" x 6" to create the background panel. Edge it with green dye ink.

Adhere the image panel die-cut to the patterned paper background panel. Adhere both sentiments as shown. Adhere the background panel to a white A6 card.

Hi crafty friends, Ericka here from Strangely Creative, and today I’m sharing a festive Christmas Coffee card featuring the Darkroom Door Coffee Time set paired with the PaperArtsy Xmas11 sentiment.

I’ve been having fun experimenting with my Lindy’s Gang Sprays on my craft mat and because I can’t stand to waste any of that gorgeous shimmer, this card became a zero-waste project! 🙌

Using a piece of watercolor paper, I “cleaned up” my craft mat by pressing the paper into the overspray. I repeated the process, drying each layer before adding the next, until I had a dreamy, layered background full of rich holiday hues. Once it was dry, I stamped my coffee image on a separate paper sprayed with the same Lindy's color. I added the festive sentiment, a little twine, and a hand drawn frame to complete the look.

If you love coffee, color, and creative play, be sure to hop along with us and check out all the inspiring projects and don’t forget to stop by the Topflight Stamps Store for all your crafty favorites!

Say "Thanks" in Style!

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. This week at Topflight Stamps our focus is on making thank you cards. You can never have too big a stash of those on hand!

I found a beautiful new stamp in the store – "William Morris Strawberry Thief" by IndigoBlu and I knew I wanted to make good use of it. I tried a few different colorways and these two are my favorites! I paired it with a bold "thanks" sentiment cut using the Paper Rose Layered Thanks die set.

Thank You Card

Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week the team's focus is on Thank You cards which are always useful to have on hand, but especially now with the holiday season approaching.

Here's my card created with the Seaside Shell Treasures Unmounted Rubber Stamp by Crafty Individuals, the Thank You Sentiment Strip Red Rubber Cling Stamp by Darkroom Door, the Mermaid Sea Shells Stardust Spray Set by Lindy's Stamp Gang. Stamping was done with the Nocturne and Bali Blue VersaFine Clair Inks by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko

~

Place a piece of Mixed Media Paper or other water-friendly heavy cardstock into a box to protect your working surface. Spray Opal Sea Oats Stardust Spray from the Mermaid Sea Shells Stardust Spray Set by Lindy's Stamp Gang onto the panel. Use a paper towel to pick up any large blotches. Heat set the panel. 

Repeat this process with Cocklebells Coral and Azure Sea Asters Stardust Sprays from the Mermaid Sea Shells Stardust Spray Set until you're happy with the coverage. Use a water-filled Fine Spray Mister by Spectrum Noir to mist the panel. Thoroughly heat set the panel .

Flatten the panel by placing it onto the base of a die-cut machine. Add a clean piece of cardstock atop the sprayed panel followed by both cutting mats. Run the sandwich through the die-cut machine several times until it is flat.

Place the dryed flattened sprayed panel onto the base of a stamping platform secured with magnets and/or low-tack tape.

Place the Seaside Shell Treasures Unmounted Rubber Stamp by Crafty Individuals onto the platform's lid, ink the stamp with Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko, and stamp. Re-ink and stamp again if needed to attain a crisp image.

Heat set the panel. Open each of the bottles of the Mermaid Sea Shells Stardust Sprays and use the tube of the spray nozzle to add drips of color to the stamped Shells. Mist some water onto your craft mat, dip a cotton bud into the water, and use to spread the color a bit. Heat set the panel and set aside.

Take a piece of beige/off white parchment print cardstock and secure it to the base of a stamping platform. Place the Thank You Sentiment Strip Red Rubber Cling Stamp by Darkroom Door onto the platform's lid. Ink the stamp with Bali Blue VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko and stamp. Re-ink and stamp again if necessary.

Adhere the sentiment panel to the center of the background panel. Spray each of the colors of the Mermaid Sea Shells Stardust Sprays onto your craft mat. Dip a stipple brush into each of the spray puddles, pounce the brush onto a paper towel, then pounce it onto the card front.

Trim the card front to 5.25" x 4". Edge the panel with  Bali Blue VersaFine Clair Ink and heat set. Adhere the panel to beige/off-white parchment print A2 card. Add flat backed pearls to finish the card.

Bright & Merry Christmas Tags with Lindy’s Magicals and PaperArtsy JOFY

 

🎄 Hello crafty friends and happy November! ✨
Ericka here from Strangely Creative, and I’m officially diving into the Christmas spirit with some bright and merry tags featuring Lindy’s Gang Magical Sprays in the gorgeous Victorian Bouquet Shimmer set and the adorable mini PaperArtsy JOFY 94 tree. 🎨🌲

 

These little tags were pure joy to make — and a great way to use up those extra bits of watercolor paper we all have lying around! I started by misting the sprays one layer at a time, drying between colors to let each shade shine through. The shimmer is magical (pun totally intended 😉).

 

Once the background was just right, I stamped the tiny tree and heat-embossed it in crisp white. To finish, I brushed a hint of gold acrylic paint around the edges because every Christmas project deserves a little sparkle! ✨

 

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope this inspires you to pull out your Lindy’s Magicals and get a head start on your holiday crafting! 🎁

💗 Happy creating!
