Creative Expressions Christmas Cards

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. This week at Topflight Stamps our brand focus is on Creative Expressions. They have so many great stamp designs! I'm taking the opportunity to make some more Christmas cards to send.

I really like the Jane's Doodles whimsical Christmas Tree stamp set. I first stamped the trees onto white cardstock and then embossed with clear detail embossing powder. After heat setting, I spayed the backgrounds is with the Lindy's Stamp Gang Autumn Leaves Starburst Spray set (Ponderosa Pines Olive and Autumn Maple Crimson). When that was dry, I laid a piece of absorbent plain newsprint paper over the embossed paper and ironed it with my craft iron. It causes the embossing powder to re-melt and absorb into the newsprint. (Don't let it cool and stick the newsprint to your background!) This gives you a faux batik look.

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 here on the Topflight Stamps blog. There is new inspiration posted often!

Jane's Doodles Christmas Cards

This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Anything Goes". I took the opportunity to make some more Christmas cards to send out!

I thought the Jane's Doodles Christmas Tree stamp set was so cute. I used a stamping platform to line up the trees and stamp them in various green inks and layers. The background is made using the Lindy's Stamp Gang Autumn Leaves Starburst Spray set (love that glimmer!)

Happy Wednesday!!!

I have three easy cards for you today using this cute stamp set from Jane's Doodles. I imagined each scene as just a snippet of how and where the chairs would be arranged in a living room.

Cozy Up by Jane's Doodles

I used the masking technique of stamping the image on cardstock first and then stamping another image on masking paper. I then create a background using distress oxide and a stencil.

Finish the card with a sentiment on double-sided foam tape.

Here are two more cards using the same techniques.

Which one do you like most?

Thanks for stopping by!
