Darkroom Door Glass Dome Shaker & Butterfly Shabby Chic Card

Hello friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you and today I have a shabby chic card to share with you.  Did you know Topflight Stamps now carries a selection of scrapbook paper pads in 6x6 and 8x8?  These pads are very reasonably priced and are perfect for mini albums and greeting cards.  I fell in love with the Paper Favourites Coral and Grey pad, with lace, floral, butterfly and dotted patterns and wanted to incorporate some rubber stamping with the designs. I used the Crealies XXL Double Stitched Square dies to cut the pink lace paper and mounted over a butterfly printed panel. 

 

 

I stamped the Darkroom Door Glass Dome stamp onto the grey lace paper then added some shading with Elements dye ink in Confetti and Graphite.  I taped a piece of vellum to the side of the paper, then stitched around the dome and filled the pocket with sequins, then stitched the base to shut up my little shaker element.  I used my stamp platform to repeat stamp the Butterfly Eclectic stamp again and again in the same ink colors until I got a nice blended look.  The trick is to mist with water and dab any excess ink.  I then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment strip onto a piece of lighter floral paper and cut out the top sentiment with a circle die.  I finished with a Prima flower and a sari ribbon bow.

Happy Halloween from Topflight Stamps!

Happy Halloween! Lisa Hoel here! It has been awhile since I've posted here on the blog. I've been busy behind the scenes, but today I wanted to share a fun little shaker card made Topflight Stamps style! I posted it off to my nephews earlier this week and I hope it gets there in time. My crafting time keeps getting squeezed and I couldn't get it done sooner. (bother!)

I loved the fun papers in the Polkadoodles Halloween paper pad and picked out two contrasting ones to use for the card base and the shaker top. The plastic is scrap from some packaging (it pays to save it!) and I stamped on it with the Fairy Web stamp and archival ink. The shaker bits are from my extensive craft stash. I couldn't resist the super cute cat die set from Swirlcards and I think it adds the perfect focal point to the card. Some Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles add a finishing touch of bling.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you can have a safe Halloween celebration and have a chance to get crafty too this weekend. As always, check back here on the blog each day for new inspiration from our team. They always have awesome makes to share with you.

Shaker card with Crafty Individuals

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new post made for Topflight stamps shop.

 Irit is here today with a new Topflight Stamps shop inspiration.

This week the designers were challenged to make a project with Crafty Individuals stamps  and this is my shaker card made with one single, but so powerful stamp from this company.

I made the patterned cardstock background and made the shaker with a chipboard painted frame.
The inside image was stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder.
Then the white cardstock was colored with a mix of distress inks and covered with clear transparency as it should be with shakers.
This card looks like a framed piece of art and it is so easy to make a similar card with this gorgeous Crafty Individuals stamp that you can find in Topflight Stamps shop.

And here is a stamp I used to make this card:
Dancing Dragonflies

Thanks for reading my weekly post.

If you would like to see more of my work you are mostly welcome to my own blog.
 See you all next weeks with a totally different stamping inspiration!

Lots of Love from my garden to yours

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit  is here today and I am going to share my first August  inspiration for Topflight Stamps shop.
 This week the design team members were asked to make project with stamps from UK For the Love of Stamps company.
This is a company with great scenic stamps and I got this lovely set named Barrow of Blooms.

So here is a card I made with this lovely set.

Here is the stamps set I used:

As you can see this is a shaker card, but the simple circle shaker one that anyone with a set of circled die can make without a problem.

The inside of the circle is stamped and heat embossed. Then I colored it with Zig Real Brushes markers and added distress inked background. 

I used small beads as the shaker filler in the colors that fit the flowers on the stamped image.

The sentiment was made with two sentiment stamps from the same set, heat embossed and die cut and added on the corner.

  

I hope I inspired you a bit with my new shaker card made with the For the Love of Stamps set and you are mostly welcome to see the daily/weekly deals in our gorgeous  Topflight Stamps shop .
And if you like my work you are welcome to my own blog to see more of it.
See you in a week!
