PaperArtsy Kay Carley Stamped Flower Field Cards

 

Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a couple of inky cards featuring the new Kay Carley stamps by PaperArtsy, set EKC49.  These were such fun to make using a variety of watercolor stamping techniques.  I'm sharing a short video tutorial on YouTube HERE.

I'm just not ready to let go of summer and love that the sentiment in this set can be used in different ways.  I added some doodles around the cut up words to frame them.

I used Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and Squeezed Lemonade for the sky, Mowed Lawn for the leaves and a mix of Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire for the agapanthuses, with some Posca pen dots for contrast.  I added some shimmer with Stickles and sequins.  I hope they give you the summer feels and you'll check out Kay's gorgeous new flower stamp sets.  Hugs, Autumn

Art by Marlene Octopus Mixed Media Tag Tutorial


Hi friends!  It's Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you today to share a fun project tutorial!  I've slowly collected a few Art by Marlene products from Topflight Stamps and was excited to finally pull a project together.  I used the AMAZING mixed media surface: Art by Marlene Tab Tags.  I'm sharing the vertical video on IGTV today, so make sure to follow.  I used PaperArtsy Infusions in Royal Blood and Emerald Isle to add a grungy/earthy base color for the tag and the stamped images.  Then I painted over portions with PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk Acrylics in Captain Peacock, Cloud 9, Twilight and Bubble Gum. 

I used PaperArtsy Sara Naumann stencil PS101 with a babywipe and Frescos to add the circles in the background.  I used Art by Marlene dies for the greenery and scallop detail.  The Octopus and Oyster Shell stamps come from the So-Fish-Ticated Sea Creatures stamp set 13.  I added Stickles glitter glue, large adhesive pearls and Pink Diamond Sparkles Gemstones to finish it off.  I really hope this funky project makes you smile and encourages you to be your brave beautiful self today!  Hugs, Autumn

Mixed Media Card

 


 Happy Friday, Ericka from Strangely Creative here I hope you all had a wonderful week! Today I'm playing with layers and a variety of mediums to create my card.

 


I started with a background I had previously made using Distress Oxides on photo paper. I then used the That's Crafty Numbers and Scripts set and stamped the images randomly on my background using Archival Inks. I then used texture paste with the Darkroom Door Grunge Border around the edge of my card. Once the paste was dry, I sprayed the texture paste with some sprays to add color. I also used a paint pen and traced some of the patterned from the stencil.
 

I stamped the Darkroom Door Quote Stamp Along the Way on vellum with Versamark and heat embossed it with black embossing powder. I attached the vellum to my card using the AALL & Create Beachrock washi tape.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Little Critters from The Card Hut

 Hi Everyone,

Cornelia here today! 
This week it's anything goes, so I decided to use this fun stamp set from The Card Hut called Little Critters. their stamps are hilarious! Go and check them out.


I figured a slim line format is the way to go here. I used stitched dies from Heffy Doodle. I first stamped the 3 squirrels, masked the bottom one a little and then stamped the stand and the squirrel with the taco. Added the birdfeeder on top and hung it onto a branch (Katzelkraft).  I colored everything with water brush pens and markers. Did some sponging around the edges in the end - probably better to do that first....The bigger base card is Kraft Paper, that I also sponged with the same colors.


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:

Elephant Van Gogh card by Katzelkraft

Hi, Connie here with a fun artsy card using Elephant Van Gogh by
Katzelkraft.  Topflight Stamps has 3 different Elephant stamps
 and they are all winners!!! 


The background, on this card, is created using Distress Oxide inks
and speckled with water for a distressed look.  I used the landscape
of the Winter Deer Scene stamp (masked off the part I didn't need) and
stamped a tree behind Elephant Van Gogh.  The art easel has a
small deer stamped on from the Mini Reindeer set. 


The elephant is colored in with Distress Oxide inks, cut out and adhered 
using dimensional adhesive. The paint pallet has real acrylic paint
dabbed on for each color.  The sentiment is stamped on white
cardstock, trimmed out and adhered to the card front.  The card front is 
adhered to a folded card base.  Several colored mats are added.

Products Used:

Versafine/Onyx Black

Thank You Card!

Greetings! It's Tuesday so you've got Kathi here to share a project with you. I always need thank you cards, so here's one using Visible Image's One Kind Word and Mesh-Ellaneous Clear Polymer Stamp Sets 


Since the typewriter stamp from the One Kind Word is so detailed, I used Onyx Black VersaFine Ink by Tsukineko to stamp it onto white cardstock and onto masking paper. The sentiment and heart were stamped with VersaFine Ink, then the image was masked and a background was added with Distress ink. 

One of the mesh stamps from the Mesh-Ellaneous Clear Polymer Stamp Set by Visible Image  was stamped with Distress ink, then intentionally smudged.

Silver metallic cardstock from the packet of Neenah Creative Collection Premium Metallic Cardstock took a few rides through my Big Shot inside of an embossing folder. Both sheets of embossed silver cardstock was sprayed with Distress Oxide  ink, heat set, then sponged with blue and red Archival inks using the Premier Ink Blending Tool and Foam by Hunkydory Crafts. One piece was trimmed to become the background panel.

The "L", "O", "V", "E", and "&" typewriter keys were cut from a second sheet of embossed and inked silver metallic cardstock. They were adhered to the back of the matted image.

3D Adhesive Foam Roll by Hunkydory Crafts was used to adhere the typewriter keys and matted image to the background panel.

AALL & Create Tag

 Hello Topflight Stamp fans, Karen Bearse here today with an eclectic, mixed media tag. It's anything goes this week, so layers of AALL & Create seemed like a good idea!

Here is my tag, love that image of the gal. There are a few layers which you can see how this all came together on my blog here. 


 All the images for this tag come from this great set by Olga Heldwein, just love it!  

It's all things washi & there are a few new ones in the shop which you can find here.  Such a great way to add imagery!


 Been on an embossing roll lately, played with one that I don't use often enough, Dragon Egg. It creates an iridescent purple color, so pretty!

Also threw in some of this dynamic mixed color by Andy Skinner, Crystal Glaze. Gotta like those flecks of gold!


Of course you will need embossing Ink & this one by WOW is a favorite.  


 Don't forget the ink! Prism has so many great colors and can be used in so many different ways. That's it for this week thanks for joining me & I hope you have the chance to get inky!
