Mixed Media Collage Card with PaperArtsy

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. Welcome to September! This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes. I decided to dig through my box of scraps (you guys keep little scraps of paper "just in case" too right? right?) to make a collage. Can't let those good bits go to waste! ;-) I added stamped elements from PaperArtsy stamp sets to the collage and used a Gel Press print for the background.

Anything Goes! PaperArtsy Mixed Media Card with Lynne Perrella

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes! My sewing machine is out so I thought I'd make a mixed media card with a scrappy fabric base.

First I sprayed some strips of plain muslin fabric using Lindy's Stamp Gang Moon Shadow Mist - Smoky Sapphire. When it was dry, I tore it into strips and stitched them onto the card base. I also stenciled onto the background with Parisian blue paint, then stitched on my focal image from the Lynne Perrella 71 stamp set.

Smile! – It's a PaperArtsy Card with Lynne Perrella Stamps

Hello Topflight Stamps fans! Lisa Hoel here. This week our theme is "Anything Goes". This is always a great chance for me to pull out some of my favorites and have a play. I'm a big fan of the PaperArtsy designer Lynne Perrella so I went straight to the stamp sets I have of hers.

For this card I chose the Asian art inspired Set 23 (currently out of stock but you can always use Set 21). I have a collection of Japanese patterned paper that I used to make a 'patchwork' card background. The focal image is stamped and embossed with black embossing powder, then watercolored.

Getting Inky with Topflight Stamps

Hello, Lisa Hoel here! This week on the Topflight Stamps blog the theme is all about inks! Topflight Stamps carries several brands of ink pads as well as sprays and mists. I created a pair of cards using regular stamping as well as a few other techniques using stamp pads. Let's take a look…

For the background, I used the Tre Fiori stencil to make a monoprint. This is an easy technique and a great way use your stencils in another way. I applied ink with the Lime Punch ink pad to the stencil itself and then spritzed it three or four times with water. I placed the stencil, ink side down, onto the paper and then blotted with a paper towel. The ink on the stencil transferred to the paper.

I also added a blue splatter to the background. After smooshing the Bermuda ink pad onto my craft sheet, I sprayed it with water to make a puddle of ink. Dipping a splatter brush into it, I splatted droplets onto my finished card background.

Lynne Perrella PaperArtsy Card

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. I had a chance to play with some of my favorite Lynne Perrella PaperArtsy stamps and created this card to share with you today!

The background is a Gel Press print. (Warning: gel printing is highly addictive!)

I used a double stamping technique with the main image. This is a great technique to have in your toolbox. Take a look:

You need a stamp platform. First I stamped an initial image with waterproof ink. Then I used PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Paint to paint in the stamp design. I like using Fresco paint because the chalk finish is really easy to stamp on top of. Plus there are so many beautiful colors!

Once painted and dry, I stamped back over the top to get the details back. Easy peasy!

PaperArtsy Card with Lynne Perrella Stamp Set

Hello everyone! Lisa Hoel here this week! Have you been enjoying our focus on the PaperArtsy brand? (Which I love!) Their stamps, paints and mediums are fabulous to create with. One of my favorite designers of theirs is Lynne Perrella and I had a new stamp set that needed to see some ink!

I began with creating a background with Distress Spray Stains and a little pinch of PaperArtsy Infusions Dye powder (Golden Sands). Infusions are intensely strong grains of dye pigment and a little goes a long way! After that I stamped the images and then colored them with watercolor paint. I also stamped in the background to add more visual texture.

Thanks for stopping by! Keep an eye out here on the Topflight Stamps blog as the talented Design Team has something new for you to see nearly every day!

Lynne Perrella Poinsettia Christmas Card

 

Hi everyone!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you to kick off our week of Christmas in July inspiration.  If you are like me and send handmade Christmas cards to friends and family, well you need to get a jump on your crafting.  So Donna is offering a fabulous sale to get us all inspired, with 20% off Christmas and winter themed products in the shop.  See the selection HERE.  To get myself in the Christmas mood, I chose a palette of traditional rich red and winter green for today's card.

I dyed some papers to work with using Distress Inks and tea for the focal image, my absolute favorite Lynne Perrella stamp set LPC018.  For my main card panel, I stamped the script top of the small building stamp repeatedly on my background for interest.  I then mixed some Versamark ink with a bit of water and splashed it on my panel and embossed the splashes with Stampendous Frantage embossing powder.  

I used my extra inky papers to do some die cutting (Tim Holtz dies), then stitched around my focal image and layered with some old hymnal page.  I mounted the panel onto sanded metallic kraft core paper.  The finishing touch is the gorgeous scripty sentiment by Darkroom Door from the Christmas Bush stamp set, also stamped on tea stained paper.  I love this font!  I hope this card has inspired you to get a start on your Christmas cardmaking.  Make sure to check out the sale at Topflight Stamps.  Hugs, Autumn
