Anniversary Card with AALL & Create + Katzelkraft Stamps

Hello, Lisa Hoel here! I'm back with another Topflight Stamps card for you. This week's theme is "Anything Goes". I used the Katzelkraft stamp sets Holiday Quotes and Frogs to make an anniversary card for my parents. The die set I used is Regency Bunting from AALL & Create.

I stamped everything on a gel print background with permanent inks. I added all the little die cut banners at the top of the card and machine stitched across the top of them to hold them in place.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the Topflight Stamps store for a wide selection of different and hard to find stamps, stencils and other paper crafting supplies from all around the world! Also keep an eye here on the Topflight Stamps blog. There is new inspiration posted daily!

Seasons Greetings!

 Greetings. It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi to share a project with you today. This week is an "Anything Goes" and since the Holidays are approaching, I've created a holiday card with Lavinia Stamps' Shanty Fairy House Clear Polymer Stamp Set, the Icicles Clear Polymer Stamp, the Snowflakes Clear Polymer Stamp Set, and the Christmas Greetings Clear Polymer Stamp Set.

Here it is!

The Shanty Fairy House Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps was stamped twice with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko — once onto a white cardstock panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 

The image was colored with Copic markers, the the sticker paper version of the Shanty Fairy House was fussy-cut and placed over its counterpart on the image panel. 

The flattest mask from the Hills Acetate Mask Set by Lavinia Stamps was placed under the house as a mask. Della Blue Elements Ink by Lavinia Stamps was brushed over the acetate mask and the masked Shanty Fairy House to add a blue background. The acetate hills mask was lifted and the base of the image panel was colored with Copic markers.

Using a stamping platform, the Icicles Clear Polymer Stamp by Lavinia Stamps was placed at the top left of the image panel, then stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko. With the Icicles Clear Polymer Stamp stationary on the platform's lid, the image panel was shifted along the base of the platform, the stamp was re-inked, and the second set of Icicles was stamped. This process was repeated until I had a row of Icicles along the top of the image panel.

A clear embossing pen was used to fill in the Icicles, clear detail embossing powder was added, the excess powder was removed, and the Icicles were heat set. I added additional layers with the embossing pen and the powder to build up the dimension and shine of the icicles.

The clear embossing pen was used to add embossing ink to the roof of the house, the top of the window, the eaves, and the top of the stone door frame. White detail embossing powder was added, then heat set. I thought the white looked a bit flat, so I went over the embossed areas with the embossing pen, added white glittery embossing powder, and heat set that. The ground received the same treatment with the clear embossing pen and the white glittery embossing powder.

Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to randomly stamp the snowflake trio stamp from the Snowflakes Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps. A white paint pen was used to add snowflakes to the entire image panel.

Morning Mist VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp the "Seasons Greetings" sentiment from the Christmas Greetings Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Lavinia Stamps onto patterned paper that seemed to match. The sentiment was cut with a banner die.

Grey patterned cardstock from my stash was cut with an A2 scalloped frame die, which was used to frame the image panel. The frame/image panel combo was added to an A2 card made from the same cardstock.

The sentiment die-cut was folded and adhered to the card to finish it up.

Merry Christmas

Hi friends. Alanna here with you today with a fun Christmas card featuring the beautiful Wild Pine image from Lavinia along with some ephemera from AALL & Create.

To get started, I stamped the Wild Pine image from Lavinia onto a white panel using green ink. I used my stamp positioner to be able to stamp it again with a darker shade of green ink in some areas. I then blended on Dark Denim and Midnight Blue Lavinia Elements inks surrounding the tree. I added some white splatter using some white paint.

I then took the Merry Monarchs ephemera from AALL & Create and added a few ornaments to the card with foam tape. I finished off the card by adding in a stamped sentiment from the Classic Sentiments set from Heffy Doodle. I then trimmed my panel down and added it to a white A2 notecard.

Paws and Paint: A Fun Non-Holiday Card Adventure

Hello, creative friends!

Ericka here from Strangely Creative, taking a little break from the holiday hustle to craft something completely different. As much as I love the festive season, sometimes you just need a pause from Christmas cards to explore a whole new adventure! Today’s card is all about celebrating our furry friends with the adorable Crafty Individuals "Waiting for Their Next Adventure" stamp set.

To start, I stamped the charming image using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink—a favorite for crisp details. Then, I dove into my collection of PaperArtsy paints to bring the scene to life. With their vibrant and rich hues, these paints made creating a colorful, textured look a total joy.

Once my painted masterpiece was dry, I used a black pen to enhance certain details, adding depth and making the illustration pop. For the background, I reached for some AALL & Create Beachrock Washi Tape—a simple yet striking addition to complement the main image.

To wrap it up, I chose a sassy sentiment from the AALL & Create Sharp Tongues set, perfect for this playful card. This project is now ready to brighten the day of a dog-loving friend who, like me, understands the magic of four-legged companions.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope this inspires you to take a creative detour this weekend. Let’s keep crafting and creating memories—holiday or otherwise!

Until next time, happy crafting!
—Ericka

Crafty Individuals Christmas Card

Hello, happy December! Lisa Hoel here. I'm back with another Topflight Stamps Christmas card for you. This week's brand focus is on Crafty Individuals and there is a wide variety of their wonderful designs available in the store. Crafty Individuals stamps are red rubber and sold unmounted so don't forget to get some mounting foam too.

I used a gel print from my stash for the background and embossed snowflakes onto it with the Snowflakes PaperArtsy stencil and silver texture paste. The focal image, Crafty Individuals Christmas Angel of Love, I stamped with Blue Atoll and then immediately dusted it with blue Perfect Pearls powder to give it a metallic finish.

Winter Magic with Crafty Individuals' Pablo

 Greetings! It's Tuesday so you have Kathi here to share a project with you today. But before I get to this week's theme and my project, I wanted to remind you about Topflight Stamps' wonderful Cyber Monday Sale that runs until 11:59 p.m. tonight, December 3rd! There are loads of fabulous new and old products in the store so you should pop over there and treat yourself! 

This week the team is focusing on Crafty Individuals' wonderful stamps. As you might know, I love penguins almost as much as cats and meeting one face to face is a bucket list item for me. Anyway, once I saw the Pablo the Penguin Unmounted Rubber Stamp, I knew that one day he'd be mine. Eventhough he's a holiday stamp, it would be so easy get rid of his antlers and ice skates, which would add to his versatility. 

Here's the card!

Tuxedo Black Memento Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp Pablo the Penguin Unmounted Rubber Stamp by Crafty Individuals twice — once onto a white panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper. I used Copic markers to color Pablo, fussy-cut the sticker paper version, and placed it atop the colored image. I also placed a piece of repositionable tape over the base of the image under Pablo's skates. 

Della Blue Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps was sponged over the tape and the masked image to create a blue sky. When done, the tape was moved to cover the horizon line and shield the sky. Grey Copic-friendly ink was brushed over the tape onto the bottom of the image panel.

The image panel was placed onto a stamping platform. The Snowflake Background Cling Red Rubber Stamp by Darkroom Door was placed over the image panel, inked with white shimmery inks, stamped, then heat set.

Use the silver metallic marker from the Bright Vivid Metallic Colorista Marker Set by Spectrum Noir to color Pablo's skates.

A white paint pen and the Gelly Roll Bold Line Stardust Clear Glitter Ink Pens by Sakura of America were used to add white dots and clear glitter to the snow and the ice.

Two pieces of the same 6x6 plaid paper by  Craft Consortium were taped together, then cut with an A6 Frame die. The taped frame die-cut was adhered atop the image panel to frame it. The framed die-cut was adhered to a white A6 card. One of the dies from the Galactic Edges Die Set 68 by AALL and Create was used to cut red-Copic colored cardstock, which was placed over the taped seams of the frame to cover them and add another touch of red to the card.. 

White cardstock was cut with one of the speech bubble dies from the Bubble Talk Die Set 72 by AALL and Create. Blue Belle VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko was used to stamp the sentiment from the Winter is Magic Clear Stamp Set 1191 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create. The sentiment speech bubble was adhered as shown to finish the card.
