More Tags with Crafty Individuals

     Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today! 

This week we are showcasing stamps by Crafty Individuals, a wonderful British company, that produces detailed red rubber stamps.

I used this stamp before - its called Dawn Serenity (you can see it HERE)

but this time I made some tags. I brushed distress oxide inks onto the tags in an ombre pattern. Waited until it dried and then stamped the bird on it. Used my Misti for it, to keep it all the same. I lightly colored the tree stump and the bird beak and legs. Stamped the sentiment. I decided to add on a thin strip of gold Washi tape from my stash at the bottom, so I ran it again through my Big Shot with the tag die. added some string with gold thread in it.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

And here are the stamp supplies I used:

Crafty Individuals - Dawn Serenity, AALL&Create - Merry and Bright (sentiment)

Blender Brushes, Versafine ink pad

Card Making with Crafty Indivuals

Hi, Connie here with a vintage inspired card using the Tea at Three
stamp set by Crafty Individuals.  It is a soft take on a vintage 
print I recently came across.

It is doubled matted on gray corrugated cardstock.  I love the pop that it 
gives to the card front.  The background stamp used, for the card,
 is the Counting Down stamp also so by Crafty Individuals. The background 
is stamped with Prism Ink/ Slate Grey, for a faded out look.
The focal image is lightly painted with Distress Oxide Ink/Bundled Sage.
The sentiment is included on the focal stamp and I cut it down to
make a word strip and then adhered it to the front of the card.  Torn black
cardstock is placed behind the word strip. 

Products used:

Crafty Individuals -389 Tea at Three

Crafty Individuals -573 Counting Down

Prism Ink/Slate Grey

Versafine/Onyx Black

Season's Greetings!

 It's Tuesday, so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. This week my teammates and I are showcasing Crafty Individuals' wonderful stamps. 

As a crazy cat lady, I satisfy my urges to get more cats by amassing cat-themed crafting products So when I saw Crafty Individuals' Trilby Cats Unmounted Rubber Stamp #568 and Burglar Cats Unmounted Rubber Stamp #571, I had to have them.

Here's a card using Crafty Individuals' Trilby Cats Unmounted Rubber Stamp #568 with a sentiment from the Holiday Sentiment Duos Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle.

Trilby Cats was stamped twice with Memento ink, fussy-cut, and colored with Copic makers. 

Pine and Lime Punch Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps was applied to mixed media cardstock, splattered with Emerald Green Brusho Crystal Colours by Colourcraft, then heat set. 

Onyx Black VersaFine Ink by Tsukineko was used to stamp Trilby Cats onto the inked and Brushoed paper. The image panel was heat set, then trimmed. 

A graphite pencil was used to outline the images to create shadows. Washi tape was added under the cats on the image panel, then the fussy-cut cats were adhered over their counterparts.

Onyx Black VersaFine Ink by Tsukineko was used to stamp the sentiment onto a leftover scrap of the inked mixed media cardstock, heat set, then cut with the speech bubble die. Another scrap of paper was cut with a holly die.

Evergreen Prism Ink by Hunkydory Crafts was used to edge the image panel, sentiment speech bubble, and the holly die-cuts.

The image panel and sentiment die-cut were adhered to plaid patterned paper. The holly die-cuts were adhered as shown, and red gemstones were used to finish the card.

Crafty Individuals Art Journal Page

 Hello Topflight Stamp Fans! Karen Bearse here with a Mixed Media Monday art journal page. This week the team is focusing on the Crafty Individuals stamp company which is based in England. They make quality, red rubber stamps.

I decided to continue working in my 6x6 art journal this week. There are a few different techniques used on this page so if you want a tutorial you can find it here.

I am in a mushroom phase & love all the things related to this fungi, so Counting Toadstools was perfect to use as my focal image. Crafty Individuals has a lot of stamps that are made up of multiple images, which makes them very dynamic. 

The crow from this stamp was also used. The image stamps so nice & crisp. 

The last stamp I used was to make the little postage stamp, so many great pics to choose from & can be used for more then just Christmas! Christmas Postage added a nice junk journal ephemera touch to my page.
 

My background started as a Gel Press print. Fresco Finish paint works wonderfully on these prints. 

This stencil from Darkroom Door, continues to be one that I reach for. Just love this one! For the rest of the ingredients used on my page be sure to check out my blog post. I hope you have a lovely start to the Holiday Season & that you take some time to de-stress & get inky!

PaperArtsy Snowflakes

 

Happy December! Ericka here and today I have a quick Christmas card using PaperArtsy Tracy Scott 63 set. Christmas is quickly approaching and this card is both quick and easy to replicate to send out to all your family and friends.

I started out using the Prism inks in French Navy, Purple Velvet, Dusky Rose, and Black Current Jam and simply swiped them on my paper. Once my background was dry, I stamped the snowflakes from the PaperArtsy set and heat embossed them with the new WOW! Embossing Trio Indulgence. I love the sparkle and gold in this embossing blend.

I used the sentiment from the Craft Emotions Christmas Gift set and finished my card with some Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles on the snowflakes.

 Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week and I hope you have a chance to get crafty this weekend.

Lavinia Forest Scene

  Hi Everyone,

It's Topflight Stamps day! 

This week its anything goes. so I decided to play once again with my Lavinia stamps. I am a hugs fan of this company and I have been over the years slowly increasing my stash. So happy to have an occasion to use them!

I made a smooshed background. Stamped everything on it. For the trees I did some generational stamping, spritzing the stamp with water. I didn't really like the geese. Should have left them off.....so I tried to cover them mostly with the sentiment. Did some additional brushing with distress inks around the edges and the center tree.... It's as so often an almost one layer card.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

And here are the stamp supplies I used:

 

Fairy Fir Tree, Fairy Fir Tree 2

Whimsical Hares, Slender Mushrooms mini

Ducks, Darkroom Door sentiment strip Christmas

Versafine ink pad, Blender Brushes

Coffee Time with Darkroom Door~

 Hi, Connie here with a Christmas inspired Coffee Time card using the stamp
set by Darkroom Door.  Coffee, this time of the year, with
cold fronts blowing in, makes a much enjoyed hot
beverage!!!

I started with a mixed media type background using Distress Oxide inks, 
a stencil (Checked stencil) and the Number Medley stamps set.  Sure makes it
easy when you have so much help from so many great products!!

The words and sentiment are stamped out on cream colored cardstock
and trimmed out, the old fashioned way, with scissors :).  I used
dimensional adhesive to pop up the word strips and sentiment.
The cup saucer is stenciled with the Small Checked stencil (masking
off the cup).  The cup is stamped with the Mini Holly stamp by 
Lavinia.  Products and links listed below.

Products used:

Darkroom Door/Coffee Time

Darkroom Door/Yuletide Greetings

Darkroom Door/Number Medley

Darkroom Door/Small Checked Stencil
