Hello! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and we’re keeping the party going with the Topflight Stamps Birthday Celebration 🎉
Today’s card is all about using what you already have—digging into your stash, layering prints, and turning them into something fresh and eye-catching.
I went back to one of my favorites: the Tracy Scott 105 from PaperArtsy.
What I love about this set is the flexibility:
- You can build your own bold, layered flowers
- Or use the smaller pre-designed elements for quicker projects
For this card, I kept it simple and let the color and texture do the work.
Start with Your Stash (Seriously)
Instead of starting from scratch, I pulled out gel prints I already had.
For the background, I used a print created with a texture plate (and quick tip—stencils give a very similar effect, so use what you have).
Then I found another print layered over printed paper and stamped my flower images right on top. This is one of my favorite ways to add instant complexity without extra steps.
✨ The Detail That Makes It Pop
Once everything was stamped, I grabbed my white gel pen and added:
- Highlights to the petals
- Small accents to break up the color
- A little extra contrast to bring the flowers forward
It’s a small step, but it completely changes the look. Don’t skip it.
🎂 Finishing It Off
To pull everything together, I added:
- A simple hand-drawn frame
- A birthday sentiment to match the celebration
Done. Layered, colorful, and full of personality—without over complicating the process.
