Plant Dreams with Topflight stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Topflight Stamps post.

This time I made a card using one large IndigoBlu stamp and the sentiment that was added using another company stamp from Topflight Stamps shop. (For the Love of  Stamps one).

The 4 layered background was made with 3 matching  card size dies in three different colors and the main image was stamped and water colored with Zig brush markers.

I actually used just a part of the colored image as it is a large image and I still wanted to show the die cut background.

The sentiment was stamped and then die cut to make this circled sentiment spot on the corner.

 Here are the stamps I used to make this project:

Country House

Barrow of blooms

I hope that you liked my card today.

Anything goes with Topflight stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my last October Topflight blog post.

This is a kind of " make whatever you want" week and I decided to make a card and even to add some step by step written tutorial, but without step by step photos.

So here is a card I made with this gorgeous IndigoBlu stamp set- Floral Fantasy. As you can see the main image was stamped 3 times on the same size of white cardstock die cut front and then die cut again and again to arrange this three layers card.

 So here is the step by step tutorial and I hope that it's pretty easy to understand and to make the similar card.

Here is my step by step tutorial:

1. Use Misti (must do thing when doing layered and die cut technique).

Arrange IndigoBlu  flower stamp and stamp over the die cut card front three times with black pigmented ink (Memento Luxe).

2. Heat emboss all three stamped pieces with clear embossing powder (WOW! Embossing Powders).

3. Use Stitched Rectangles Elizabeth's Crafts die set and die cut each stamped front .I used every second size of the dies (#3-5-7) to die cut the stamped images.Now you have a frame and the stamped image die cut piece for each frame.

4. Glue the stamped die cuts as shown: use the third negative- the smallest die and the largest frame as your base and then arrange all three die cut shapes over this frame.

5. Color the images in all three layers with Zig Real Brush colors as shown.

6. Mist the background with Lindy's Stamp Gang mist . Stamp the sentiment over the separate cardstock piece, mist and hand cut it and glue as shown. I used the sentiment from For the Love of Stamps Barrow in Bloom set.
7. Add some rhinestones.

 And this is the stamp set used to make this card:

Floral Fantasy

Barrow in Bloom

I really hope that you like my small card tutorial and remember that this can be done with any other big stamp you can find in Topflight shop.
See you next week with another Topflight shop inspiration!

Mixed media challenge with Topflight stamps shop and Indigoblue

Hello my dear friends and welcome to my new Topflight Stamps post.

This is a week we share out own inspiration to the Mixed Media Monthly challenge and this is the inspirational photo.

The team was asked to make the challenge inspiration with IndigoBlu stamp and this is my altered 5*7'' canvas made for this challenge:

This is the stamp set I used to make this small, but lovely art piece- Floral Fantasy

 And now a couple of close- ups or side looks of my canvas:

As you can see I stamped over the canvas with pigmented ink and heat embossed the images with clear embossing powder.

Then most of the images were painted with distress markers. 

The entire background was made with distress inks.

I added die cut clock and window over the canvas. The clock was heat embossed.

The window was painted with crackle paint and them misted.

I added the " lace" look over the die cut curtains with the same half doily stamp from the set, using white heat embossed image and overall misting.

Two butterflies were stamped in the same way, misted and then hand cut and glued over the piece.

I hope that you like my Mixed Media art canvas and would join the challenge with us.

See you next week with a totally different stamping inspiration.

Christmas in July with Topflight stamps shop

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second Christmas in July Topflight Stamps shop post.

A week ago I shared my blue colored Winter card made with IndigoBlu most gorgeous "Looks like rain, dear" stamp set.

Today I want to show you how the very same stamp set can be used for traditional colored 3d central table/shelf art recycled piece.

This art piece was made using the clear plastic spool that was left after I finished the ribbon  from this spool.
I covered  the bottom with patterned cardstock and covered the top with stamped and die cut circle using the background stamp from this stamp set:

Stamping was made using black pigmented ink and clear embossing powder and then misted with red mist.

The deer from the same set was stamped  in the same heat embossing technique, hand cut and glued over the $ store plastic Christmas greenery.

The sentiment was stamped with green permanent ink and then die cut and glued over the leftover circle from the previous step.

This is just an example of an easy and frugal kind of Holiday crafting.

Everyone has those plastic spools . Anyone can buy a $ store green leaves.

Now go to Topflight Stamps shop, pick this adorable stamp set and make a few of those altered spools that can be used as place cards stands or table decorations.

 And just to show you how adorable this 3d piece is I took another photo with different staging.

 I really hope that you liked my altered project today and see you in a week with something totally different.

Christmas in July with Topflight stamps shop

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit  is here today and I am going to share my Christmas in July inspiration for Topflifht Stamps shop.
Let's begin from two odd things first.
How can we even think about making Winter and Holidays  projects with this hell heat outside?
But actually we all do. Lots of sites  show Christmas releases and projects right now.
 So we, on our Topflight Stamps shop site, do just the same. It make the outside hell less hot, for me at least.
Second important odd thing is that I am Jewish and we don't even celebrate Christmas, also we do celebrate New Year and Winter season.
But for me Christmas is all about my childhood. I was born in Ukraine and moved to Israel when I was about 15, so I still remember and adore all Holiday symbols, colors and tastes and I really love to craft for my friends and part of my family.
And finally here is my Christmas in July card for you to see.

As you can see it's a layered scene made with one single stamp set- IndigoBlu " Looks like rain, dear" red rubber stamps set.

 For my card I used the small stamps from the set, all five of them.
Some were stamped directly on the cardstock and some were stamped and hand cut and then glued over the card.
The sentiment spot was stamped, die cut and added on the corner.

As you can see I used 4 waved dies (just non branded cheap ones) to make the snow landscape.
I used  acrylic paint to make the blue background and added " snow effect" with white pearled 3d paint.

I hope that you liked my Winter inspiration today and next week I am going to share the totally different project made with the very same stamp set.
And as for now- run to the shop and see the largest in USA selection of non USA artistic stamps and  the best ever Holiday section.
If I made my very first Holiday project you  should think about it too.
And if you want to visit my blog and to see more of my work- you are mostly welcome!

Old world art piece

This art piece was already print published in Rubber Stamp Madness Summer 2016 issue.
I made it to show how round and small the OLD world is- you can just explore it with all those transportation as I stamped over my piece.
Anyway, the whole global world is small now thanks to our web system!
So the stamps used here are from Rubber Dance Norway, Visible Image UK, IndigoBlu UK, The Rubber Cafe USA and VLVS USA. The stencils are from Tando UK and the embossing powders are from WOW! UK. It is a small world for this Israeli artist (me).
Thanks for looking and  you can find two more of my stamped art pieces in this Summer RSM issue.

I enter this art piece to some web challenges:
Wow! Embossing Powders- used here and even are in the product print list
Creative Artiste- Anything goes
Fun with circles for Country view challenges
Studio 75- At least one word and no flowers

Life of your dreams: altered canvas

This Mixed Media altered canvas was made for Tando Creative Transportation week. I didn't have any transportation chipboards, but then who cares? Some Indigo blue stamps, some gorgeous Tando chippies, a lot of Mixed Media mediums, mists (Lindy's Stamp Gang) and a nice  quote- and I have this lovely canvas.

T

And how about this fantastic quote? " The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams"!

I think I do live this life (at least a bit).

Leave a trail: altered canvas

Something I was working on for a few days, but just for a few minutes every day. Making altered canvas needs a dry time in between layers, so it takes time, but I like the result.

I used Tando Creative chipboards and masks and Indigo Blu stamp set; some washi tapes were added and a lot of Lindy Stamp Gang mists, just right for this May color challenge.The compass and the saying were stamped over tissue paper to be as flat as possible over the board. 

I enter this to Indigo Blu stamps quote challenge.
Lindy Stamp Gang color challenge- also I used the different mists as I don't own Flats, but the colors are just the same. Here is the color list
Tibetan poppy teal
A bit of bubbly
Clam bake beige
Baby blue eyes
Alpine Ice  rose
