Halloween Shaker Card with AALL & Create

Hello, Lisa Hoel here! This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Halloween/Fall". AALL & Create has a great new Halloween collection out and I decided to make a whimsical shaker card using the Frightful Fun die set and Boosentials stamp set. 

The background is a heavy piece of cardstock I inked and stamped on. I also gave it a light spritz of green mica spray from the Lindy's Haunted Halloween Starburst Sprays set. I glued in some die cuts from the Frightful Fun set (although I did leave one ghost loose to shake around inside). The edges have walls of foam tape to contain all the shaker bits.

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.

Magicals Butterflies with AALL & Create

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. This week at Topflight Stamps our theme is "Outdoors". I love seeing butterflies in my garden this time of year so I was inspired to make a card focusing on them. I used the AALL & Create die set Starflight to cut out the butterflies and arch shape out of heavy duty cardstock. I glued the butterflies down first, then, when dry, I spritzed it with water and Lindy's Magicals powders. I really like how it pooled in the nooks and crannies for some intense mica gleam.

The green background is colored with Emerald Isle PaperArtsy Infusions Dye crystals. I also used the Lavinia Laurel stencil to add the leafy texture.

Lindy's Magicals Mermaid Card

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. This week at Topflight Stamps our product focus is on mixed media and using ink/pigment powders. I have been having fun playing with the Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals Pigment Powders making all sorts of backgrounds using the Enchanted Forest set. I paired them with Lavinia ocean themed stamps to create this dreamy mermaid card.

To make the Magicals backgrounds, I spritzed pieces of mixed media cardstock with water and then sprinkled on tiny bits of the pigment powders. (A little goes a long way, they really pack a punch!) I spritzed on more water and let the powder particles dissolve and flow – letting them air dry naturally. The AALL & Create Starflight die set made a lovely frame for the focal panel and stamping.

Brand Focus on PaperArtsy!

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. This week at Topflight Stamps our brand focus is on PaperArtsy. I have to admit, PaperArtsy is one of my favorite brands! I appreciate that they have such a variety of styles showcased by their different designers. For this card, I chose stamps and a stencil from Mags Woodcock.

I glued some torn pieces of Gel Press prints onto the card base for the background. Over that I stamped and stenciled to add to the collage. (Mags Woodcock sets EMW006 and PS517) I also fussy cut some stamped/watercolored flowers to add and attached them with glue and vintage cello tape stickers.

Christmas in July with Woodware Stamps

Hello, Lisa Hoel here. This week at Topflight Stamps we're cooling it down with "Christmas in July"! If you are like most of us, when December rolls around we run short on time for holiday card making. Why not get a start now?

I started off with a shimmery silver gel print background. The main stamp from the Woodware Holy Night set is such a beautiful focal image – I just added some color and gold accents. Perfect!
