Adorable Baby Boy Card with Craft Emotions


Hello friends!

Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and today I’m excited to share a cute baby boy card that I’ve created! This adorable card features a simple yet charming set from Craft Emotions called "Baby Boy." I absolutely love how this set brings a sweet and playful touch to any baby-themed project.

To start, I stamped the images using Versafine Clair Nocturn ink. This ink is fantastic for getting crisp and clear impressions, which is perfect for detailed stamps like these. Once the images were stamped, I brought them to life using the Spectrum Noir Colorista Watercolor Markers. These markers are incredibly user-friendly and makes for easy watercoloring. The vibrant and blendable colors allowed me to create soft, dreamy hues perfect for a baby boy card.


I focused on creating a balanced and harmonious look by combining various shades of blue and adding pops of other gentle colors to highlight the adorable elements of the set.

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my latest creation. I hope this baby boy card inspires you to create your own adorable projects. If you have any questions or would like to share your own creations, feel free to leave a comment below. Have a wonderful weekend, and happy crafting!

Craft Emotions - Have a Jawsome Day

 Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today. This week we are featuring Craft Emotions on the Topflight blog. Such an awesome stamp company. They are located in the Netherlands. 
Now since we are approaching summer I felt I cna make an ocean themed card - I love to make those!
I started out with a light greenish blue background paper and used a fishnet stencil with blue distress oxide ink for my background.I stamped the shark and colored him with alcohol ink markers. I cut him out and added him to my background. The sentiment is from the set Ocean 5. the little fish are from Ocean 1.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 
See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

And here are the stamp supplies I used:

Craft Emotions with Topflight Stamps – Cooking Themed Bookmarks!

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. This week on the Topflight Stamps blog our brand focus is on Craft Emotions. They have so many whimsical designs to choose from! I decided to create a set of cooking themed bookmarks using the stamp set Let's Eat and stencil The Cook. These will be a step up from the receipts and old grocery lists that currently mark favorite recipes in my cookbooks.

I laminated them for durability.

I also made a spot on the top of the bookmark where I could write with a dry erase pen on the plastic.

To make these, I started off making a "masterboard".

I used a brayer to lay down various colors of PaperArtsy Fresco Paint.


Then I stenciled on that background with white paint.


I stamped with permanent ink over all of that. Then I chopped the page into bookmarks and laminated them. A set of these would make a nice gift, especially when included with a cookbook!

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the Topflight Stamps store for a wide selection of different and hard to find stamps, stencils and other paper crafting supplies from all around the world! Also keep an eye on the Topflight Stamps blog. There is new inspiration posted daily!

WTF! - A Craft Emotions Card

Greetings! It's Tuesday, so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you! This week my teammates and I are showcasing wonderful products by Craft Emotions! I hope you enjoyed this long holiday weekend, which marks the unofficial beginning of summer!

The holiday weekend and hot weather inspired this sea-themed card using the Oceans 10  and Oceans 11 Clear Polymer Stamp Sets by Carla Creaties for  Craft Emotions.


Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko were used to stamp the wonderful sea horse and the angel fish from the Oceans 10 Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Carla Creaties for Craft Emotions onto white cardstock. Both images were fussy-cut, colored with Copic markers, edged with a black pen, and set aside.

Using the 4" Brayer by SpeedballMermaidBlue AtollBlue Lagoon Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps were applied to a Gel Press, and mixed media cardstock was smoothed onto the Gel Press to transfer the ink. This process was repeated a few times until I was happy with the blending and color saturation. 

The inked mixed media background panel was moved to a stamping platform then Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp the Oceans 11 Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Carla Creaties onto the panel.

A wet paint brush was used to remove some of the ink from above the top waves to create a sky area. 

Kraft cardstock was torn, layered, and adhered to the bottom of the background panel, which was then trimmed and edged with black ink.

A variety of seashell and coral dies were used to cut white cardstock. PineLime Punch, and Olive Elements Inks were sponged onto each type of the sea plants, misted with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and allowed to dry. Confetti, Violet ChalkSundanceRusset Orange, and Paprika Elements Inks were sponged onto each type of coral, misted with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, and allowed to dry. A crab punch was used to punch white cardstock, sponged with Paprika Elements Inks, misted with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, and allowed to dry. When dry, the crabs' claws were colored with blue markers, a white paint pen was used to add dots for their eyes, and a black detail pen was used to add pupils. Copic markers were used to color the seashells, starfish, and sand dollar.

The sea plants, seahorse, angel fish, coral, shells, and crabs were adhered to the image panel as shown.

 White cardstock was cut with a speech bubble cutting die, then placed onto a stamping platform. The "WTF" sentiment from the Oceans 10 Clear Polymer Stamp Set was positioned face down on speech bubble. The platform's lid was lifted, and low-tack tape was placed over the birthday sentence.  Nocturne VersaFine Clair Ink was used to ink the stamp, the tape was removed, and the sentiment was stamped.

The image panel was adhered to a 5" x 7" kraft card. The sentiment speech bubble was adhered to finish the card.

4 Birthday Cards in Under 15 Minutes?

 Hi friends.  Alanna back on the blog today with you. This week, we are featuring the brand Craft Emotions. I have two pairs of birthday cards to share with you today which were both made in under 15 minutes! Also, you can purchase everything I used on my cards today for 15% off with the Memorial Day sale. No code needed! Sale ends May 27th, 11:59 PM EST.

Both sets of cards feature the same products, just different papers from the same collection. They are the amazing Colourful Cascade papers from AALL & Create.  There are 2 different sizes, each in 4 different patterns. For this package, I was able to get two A2 card panels from one sheet of paper. This paper is more like card stock and is very thick and luxurious. And the designs are so fun! There are several different versions which you can check out here.

After my panels were trimmed down, I took the large birthday sentiment from the Handlettering Happy Birthday & Numbers set from Craft Emotions and stamped it in Versafine Claire Nocturne ink. I then took some of the small images from the Fireworks stamp set, also from Craft Emotions, and stamped a few of the images around my sentiments.

I added the panels with foam tape to my card bases and that completes these cards. Here is the first version.

And here is the second version.

All products I used can be found in the Topflight Stamps store below. Crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

Minis and Mattints with PaperArtsy

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here. I've been away for a couple weeks due to severe Texas weather but am so happy to be back. Today I am playing with some PaperArtsy minis and Mattints for a colorful tag.

I started out by stamping the PaperArtsy JOFY Mini 73 in Versafine Clair Twilight and clear embossed it. I then took the PaperArtsy Mattints in Dragonfly, The Pink, and Jam. I also added a little PaperArtsy Fresco Paint in Gold. I then stamped the Ink & the Dog Mini 124 and stamped it in gray ink and then used the same Mattints to color up the rest of my tag.

I stamped the the JOFY 112 flower and colored it up with the same Mattints and some PaperArtsy Fresco Paint in Pistachio. I added some gold pen to highlight portions of my tag.

 

I finished my tag with some washi tape words from the AALL & Create Night Shade. Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to check out the sale going on now!
