Strawberry Tag with PaperArtsy

Hello all!  This week at Topflight Stamps we are focusing on the PaperArtsy brand.  It's a vast category, they have so many products in our store!  For my tag, I began with a couple of Fresco Chalk Paint in two colors:  Spring and Winter Green and paired them with PaperArtsy Alison Bomber PS487 and PS472 Large Stencils.  After the background was dry, I carefully glued down some petite strawberry plants, courtesy of PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Strawberry Edition stamp set.  They'd been stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink on scrap white cardstock, colored and fussy-cut.  I also stamped and cut out the words that come with that stamp set:  botanical, medicinal, floral and herbal, and added them on here individually.  There's a round label that comes with the set too, and I used that, plus a postage stamp image from the PaperArtsy Alison Bomber Rosehips Edition stamp set.  They decorate a piece of abaca ribbon I've had for decades.

Hope you have a beautiful day! ~ Colleen

Crafty Individuals Mixed Media Mushroom Tag

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a mixed media tag created with gorgeous Crafty Individuals stamps.  

I made an ink dipped background using Peeled Paint, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.  I overstamped in Gathered Twigs with the fantastic Counting Down background stamp.  

For the focal image, I stamped the Counting Toadstools stamp once over my background, then again onto Bristol paper and watercolored and fussy cut.  I added Rusty Hinge to complete my color scheme.  I love the dimension created when mounting fussy cuts over stamped images.  The coffee stains are similar to the Darkroom Door Coffee Time stamp set, stamped in Walnut Stain.  I finished by tying some sari ribbon onto the top with a piece of jute.

You may remember the card I made last year posted HERE with these same stamps.  I hope this will give you even more inspiration on how to use these fabulous stamp sets!

PaperArtsy Scrapcosy Mushrooms and Squirrel Tags

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share an autumn tag trio made with Scrapcosy stamps by PaperArtsy.  Raquel is my absolute favorite designer and I was really in the mood to have a play with her fall themed stamps, so I grabbed a few sets and had a nice, relaxing play, resulting in these three tags.  I used stamp sets ESC25, ESC26 and ESC32.  

For my backgrounds I dipped each tag (handcut from Bristol) in Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  For the stamping, I misted my stamps before making the impression.  I used Gathered Twigs, Aged Mahogany, Rusty Hinge and Peeled Paint.  

I used Archival ink in Acorn for my focal images and watercolored them with the same inks.  

I used a woodgrain embossing folder to the die cut ovals to make the focal images more prominent.  I hope they inspired you today and you'll check out Raquel's fabulous range of stamps at Topflight Stamps!  xx, Autumn

AALL & Create Tracy Evans Penguin Mixed Media Tag & Card

 

Happy winter friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share some fun mixed media projects featuring the fun new penguin stamp set by Tracy Evans for AALL & Create (#604).  I couldn't wait to have a play with these stamps!  I ended up making a tag/card combo because I just couldn't stop with one project. 

I used texture paste through the Mosaic stencil (#54) onto watercolor paper and while the paste was wet sprinkled the top with Sleight Blue Infusions powder by PaperArtsy.  I sprayed and sprayed with water to let the color run through the texture pattern and then let it dry completely.  In the end I liked the darker portion at the bottom, so I cut up the 6x6 panel and mounted it onto a tag, making a mini tag from the cast off, on which I stamped the tiny text in the set, so cute! 

I used a very old Sizzix die to cut the snowflake from thin chipboard, then covered the entire piece with more texture paste for a snowy effect.  I added some silk ribbon and a mounted sentiment sticker to finish it off. 

Next, I played around with the paper I used to mop up the inks from the Infusions drips.  

I used the Brrr stamp to add subtle contrast in the background (Iced Spruce DOX) then used the extra paper to tear snowy hills.  I scraped texture paste on the tops and sprinkled with holographic embossing powder and heat set to add some shimmer.  I gave everything a splash of Bronze Glimmer Mist and added another sentiment.  This time I added a little watercolor detail to the penguins for a color pop.  I'd like thank my teammate Kathi for sharing this fabulous textured paper with me, which made the perfect mat for this colorway.  :)

I hope these projects have inspired you on this winter's day!  xx, Autumn

Tomato Pasta Recipe Card (recipe included)

   Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today! 

This week our theme is anything goes. And I still had this wonderful veggie set  by Bipasha from AALL&Create on my desk and wanted to play with it.

I decided to go with the tomatoes this time. I made a recipe car - of course I included the recipe. It's one of my favorite quick and easy summer recipes.

I used one of those wonderful tags - they are from Studio Light and they are made from the thickest paper (300GSM). Wonderful to work with. And they are large. They are a bit longer than a standard A2 card and a smidgen less wide - to give you an idea about their size. They have a tab on the side, for which I printed out a label. 

I made a smooshed background with distress inks and stamped the tomatoes on top. Colored them with water brush pens and markers. Added white Posca pen accents.

Above is the recipe. It's best fresh. enjoy!

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.

Into the Fall with AALL&Create

  Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here day! 

This week out theme is fall/autumn. I saw this wonderful veggie set  by Bipasha from AALL&Create and had to have it......

I decided to go with the carrots - a typical fall vegetable and mad a tag.

I discovered those wonderful tags - they are from Studio Light and they are made from the thickest paper (300GSM). Wonderful to work with. And they are large. They are a bit longer than a standard A2 card and a smidgen less wide - to give you an idea about their size. They have a tab on the side, that I didn't need, so I cut it off.

I made a smooshed background with distress inks and stamped the carrots on top. Colored them with water brush pens and Inktense pencils. Added a bit of texture to the background with a stencil. Did some additional sponging around the edges. Die cut a black tag ring, glued it on and added a bow with a ribbon from my stash.

Here you kind of see the whole set. It is huge! It's actually a great deal, given its size. 

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting.
