Paperartsy - Love Birds

    Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today! 

This week we don't have a theme, so pulled out those cute little Love birds - my most recent acquisition.

They are so cute! I couldn't wait to play with them.

I repeatedly stamped them and then just colored tow of them with markers. Added the sticker sentiment (it's on sale right now). Can't be much easier!

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

Word Block and Filmstrip Stamped Cards by Darkroom Door

Hi, Connie here with a set of cards using the Word Block 
and the Filmstrip stamps by Darkroom Door. The combination
of the two stamps worked great!!

The cards are created the same way, just different stamps and different ink.
The Word Block stamp created the background for the cards along
with Distress Oxide inks. The Filmstrip stamps were stamped
using a stamping platform so the filmstrip could be re-stamped to
get a rich dark image. I used Versafine Pigment ink for this.

The Filmstrip stamped image was adhered to the card front.  Smaller
 embellishments were added to enhance and add texture
 to the card front.  All three cards were created in this manner.

Each card was matted with coordinating cardstock and then
adhered to a folded card base.  The filmstrips were colored in
with watered down Distress Oxide inks and a water brush.

Products used:

Word Block Stamps: Darkroom Door: Smile, Journey and
Friendship

Filmstrip Stamps: Darkroom Door: Butterflies, Seashells and 
Ladies in Hats

Darkroom Door: Sketchy Stars

Versafine Pigment ink/Onyx Black

They're Perfect Together!

Hi there! It's Tuesday so it's Kathi here to share a project with you. Apparently I'm still in a Valentine's Day mood and felt like match-making, so I joined the birdie on  Zinski Zini #28 Cling Mounted Stamp with the birdie on Zinski Zini #29 Cling Mounted Stamp by PaperArtsy. You've got agree that they make a cute couple! I added the hazard sign from the France Papillon #1 Cling Mounted Stamp Set because sometimes love requires caution. 

Here's the card, which works for Valentine's Day and/or an anniversary. 

The bird on the left (Zinski Zini #28) was stamped first onto the image panel, then onto label paper, which was fussy-cut and placed over the image to be used as a mask. Zinski Zini #29 was then stamped onto the image panel, label paper, fussy-cut, and the fussy-cut version was used as a mask. The hazard sign was stamped onto the image panel to complete the scene. Then it too was stamped, fussy-cut, and used as a mask. Gosh. I'm so predictable. 

Once all the images and the bottom part of the image panel were masked, Pink Jellybean Prism* Ink was brushed over the Hearts and Dots Stencil by Alexandra Renke. Sparkly clear embossing powder was sprinkled over top, then heat embossed. You'll note that some of the dots around the hearts were uninked, I decided that was okay because perfection is overrated. 

Periwinkle Prism Ink was brushed over the the image panel. The horizontal mask covering the bottom of the image was removed and grey Distress ink was brushed over the masked image. I went with Distress ink because I wanted to use my Copics to add shadows.

All the masks were lifted and the images were colored with Copic markers. 

Onyx Black VersaFine Ink by Tsukineko was used to stamp the sentiment from the Love Birds #155 Clear Stamp Set by AALL and Create onto the bottom of the image panel.

The image panel was adhered to an A2 card. A frame die-cut was used to finish the card.

*Please note: Prism ink tends to stay wet longer so it's easily blendable AND you can emboss with it. Plus it's inexpensive, so you can have all the colors.

Art Journal Page with PaperArtsy

Hello Fans of Topflight Stamps, Karen Bearse here today with an Art Journal Page that is jammed full of PaperArtsy. I started arting & could not stop but the beauty is it was so good for my soul! Layer upon layer of nummy mixed media. As always I have a tutorial on my blog which you can find here. There are about a zillion step out photos!

 

Let's see some of the product I used to create this, a full list with the process & links is on my blog.

Let's start with a stencil. This is such a cool postage mark stencil by Sara Naumann PS204

Then add some texture with Lava Paste. 

 Of course we need ink, how about Infusions?   

 

Maybe some paint? My favorite is Fresco Finish.  

 

Every Art Journal Page needs stamps & I used a lot of Seth Apter on this page.  These are sold as mini singles, love them!! EM54 &  EM52  & EM45.

 

I also used parts of the sets- Magic Set, Journey Set.

 

I can't seem to stop using Embossing Powder.

Hobby Arts - Funky Chicken

   Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today! 

This week we are showcasing Hobby Arts stamps. They make really fun stamps - if you don't know them, you might want to check them out!

I used the set Funky Chicken. I stamped the chicken on a piece of scrap paper, colored it with Inktense and markers and cut it out. I stamped it again on the craft card stock - this time with its legs and I stamped the sentiment.  I used an AALL&Create stencil for the background. Added the chicken and colored the sentiment.

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting. 

See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

Mixed Media Card with Hobby Art Ltd.

Hi, Connie here with a mixed media type card using products by Hobby Art Ltd. 
I started with Distress Oxide inks and a Funky Foliage stencil from
the Topflight Store.
  Step one: build a background.

Apply the ink to the card base and sprinkle with water (to activate the ink)
 and make water spots,  Just another way to add texture to the background.
Add the script stamp, from the Hobby Art Ltd. Words set, using black ink.

Step two:
Stamp the butterflies, out on cardstock, and shade with Distress Oxide
inks. Cut them out and add to the card front.  Mat the card front with two
different colors of cardstock and then adhere to the folded card
base.  Stamp sentiment and speckle card with white

acrylic paint.
