PaperArtsy Zinski Art Bird & Bear Gel Printed Christmas Cards

 

Hi friends!  Happy December from Topflight Stamps!  It's Autumn from SewPaperPaint with you today to share some fun wintry cards with you using gel prints and awesome Zinski Art stamps (set ZA35) by PaperArtsy.  I made the shaker cards below a couple of years back for the PaperArtsy blog (visit HERE) and came across them and suddenly was dying to watercolor this stamp set again.  To make things quick, I pulled out some excess gel prints from my stash and cut layered panels with the Crealies XXL Double Stitched Rectangle Dies. 

For this year's cards I used Blue Bayou Fresco Chalk Acrylic on the Gel Press.  I stamped the snowy dots from the Sara Naumann stamp set ESN29 and the snowflakes from the Zinski set.  I added some clear embossing to set the Distress Inks.  I used Sara's gorgeous stencil PS101 (my favorite!) with Cloud 9 Fresco rubbed with a baby wipe to get the soft background effect shown.

 

Just for fun and texture I stamped the music from Sara's set onto vellum and then made a little shaker pocket.  I stitched 3 sides then stuffed in the sequins, then stitched it closed.  The sentiment is from the Sara set.  I added a die cut glittery snowflake and purple Stickles all over the snow. These cards made me smile every step of the way and I hope they give you a smile to day too!  xx, Autumn

Magda Polakow - Cute Baby Bear Hello

Hi Everyone and welcome to the Topflight Stamps blog!

It's Jenny here, and today I'm joining you with a card created using a super cute stencil and stamp set by Magda Polakow.

The stampset I'm using today is the Baby Bear and Friends set.

I'm also using the Lots of Bears 8 x 8 stencil, which is so cool, I've not seen anything like it before.

I'm also using this die set by Studio Light for my sentiment.

To create my card I first mixed some pink ink with some Glass Bead Gel (Faber Castell) and smoothed it over the Lots of Bears stencil onto thick cardstock, going about halfway up.  I then took some more of the clear gel and smoothed it up the rest of the way, to create an ombre look.  I set it aside to dry.

I stamped the baby bear, tree stump and clouds with waterproof black ink onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color them in.  I then trimmed them out.  I also die cut the Hello sentiment from the Studio Light set in gold cardstock (I trimmed off the speech bubble).

When the stenciled background had dried, I adhered it to a white card base.  I then adhered the images with liquid adhesive and foam tape.  I embellished with some clear glitter Nuvo Drops and called it done!

That's it for today - I hope you enjoyed!  Be sure to check out this fantastic new range over at the Topflight Stamps store.  Have a wonderful day.
