Art altered notebook cover with Topflight Stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my last for 2017 Topflight Stamps post.

This time I just used one single Rubber Dance stamps to make the altered cover of the small, card sized, notebook.

This notebook was " striped" from the inside pages that were then added after to cover was altered.

I used fabric for the cover and made it in this messy Mixed Media style using a lot of painted chipboards, texture paste and stencils on the back and a mix of paints and mists to get these grungy colors

The main image was stamped over the thick white cardstock using black pigmented ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
The colors were added with distress inks and some water over it.

This is the single Rubber Dance stamp I used to make this project:

Mona Lisa stamp

I hope that you liked my altered project  and love Rubber Dance stamps as much as I do.

You can  buy this set and much more in the Topflight Stamps shop.

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.

Soar door hanger with Topflight Stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Welcome to my new Topflight Stamps post and this time I made a Mixed Media altered wooden door hanger using a couple of delicious Rubber Dance stamps.

The wooden base was  first covered with white gesso and then stencilled texture image were added with a stencil and heat embossed with a mix of embossing powders. Some of the powders were with a bit of glitter.
 The whole piece was then misted with a mix of mists.
Then The Studio Light background was stamped over the textured base to add some interest.
The die cut and the chipboard wing were arranged with a few flowers as the main image base.

The main image was stamped with black pigmented ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder and then colored with Distress Oxide inks and glued on the top.

The Rubber Dance sentiment was stamped as one single stamp and then hand cut to strips and glued in a kind of art journal over the finished piece.

And here is another view of the project from the side:

Congratulations card with Topflight Stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new weekly Topflight Stamps post.
This week I am going to share my new card made with Leane Creatief most gorgeous doodling stamps and it;s really my very first time ever to use a Champagne bottle and a glass stamps on my creations.

 I made a very general Congratulations card in just two tones- pink and black and white and it fits for several events, such as a weddings, Birthdays and just general celebrations of whatever you want to celebrate.

The card layers were made with dies and one was also dry embossed with a kind of bubbles.

The stamped images were heat embossed with black embossing powder and then colored with pink and grey watercolors.
I made white pen doodling over the grey color and black pen doodling over the pink.
The yellow color is actually gold pen, but hard to see the golden sparkle on the photos.
The only embellishments added are those dark pink rhinestones.
 The sentiment die cut was cut twice and glued one over another for the contrast.
Here is the stamp set I used to make this card and you sure can see how different it looks if you use different colors for the bottle and for champagne inside.

I really hope that you like my pretty card and you can see more of my work in my own blog HERE.

Anything goes with TOPFLIGHT stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my last November Topflight Stamps shop post.

Irit is here and this is our " make it your favorite style" week.

So toady I made an art page using one big Rubber Dance stamps set that can be found in our Topflight Stamps shop.

I really love doing art pages, but this is my very first time to  leave the stamped images in black and white colors and to arrange them over colorful handmade background.

As you can see the background was made with black texture paste and one artistic stencil and then misted with a mix of three delicate colors.
All flowers from the stamp set were stamped with black pigmented ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Each and every flower was hand cut and some of them were stamped over with the smallest texture stamps from the same set . Actually I used the small stamps as the background filler and the "white spaces over stamps" filler and it worked in the most perfect  way.

The chipboard title was painted in one of the background colors and I added a few splashes of the hot pink to add more interest to the page.

 Here is a stamp set used to make this page:

Loving thougths with Topflight stamps

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here again and this week we were challenged to make project with stamps from the most gorgeous Carabelle Studio that you can find in our Topflight Stamps shop.
Each and every stamp set from this company is totally unique and fit for any Mixed Media project, scrapbooking or pretty simple cardmaking.
So here is my Mixed Media card made with  one single stamp set " as is"- I used each and every stamp in the set in different techniques.

The basic background was made with one artistic stencil and texture paste.
Then the background color was added with mists  and the main image was stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder.
The butterflies were stamped over the thick cardstock in the same way and then hand cut  and added with 3d foam  glue over the card.
The sentiment was stamped with white embossing powder over black cardstock  and just a few rhinestones  were added to finish this card.
As  you can see this can be made with totally different colors of mists. If you are in this pink or purple mood you can do this card pink and purple. If you are in this fall kind of mood it can be done orange and  deep red and green. Just pick the color and it's done in no time.
Just remember to jump to our Topflight Stamps shop and to grab this delicious stamp set.

Topflight stamps with Crafty Individuals

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new post made for Topflight stamps shop.

 Irit is here today with a new Topflight Stamps shop inspiration.

This week the designers were challenged to make a project with Crafty Individuals stamps  and this is my shaker card made with one single, but so powerful stamp from this company.

I made the patterned cardstock background and made the shaker with a chipboard painted frame.
The inside image was stamped with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder.
Then the white cardstock was colored with a mix of distress inks and covered with clear transparency as it should be with shakers.
This card looks like a framed piece of art and it is so easy to make a similar card with this gorgeous Crafty Individuals stamp that you can find in Topflight Stamps shop.

And here is a stamp I used to make this card:
Dancing Dragonflies

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!

Butterflies with Topflight stamps

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

Today I am going to share the 8*8'' Mixed Media canvas made with most gorgeous Katzelkraft Butterflies stamp set and I am going to show  you a few stamping techniques while working over the Mixed Media canvas project.

First I added the background texture with texture paste and stencils (Tando Creative UK) and glued a few cardstock pieces with DCWV old cardstock collection. 

Then the whole piece was painted with DecoArt acrylic paints.

It's almost impossible to stamp over this heavy textured canvas, so I stamped the flowers stamps from the same stamp set over the white tissue paper and glued them on the bottom of the canvas with gel medium.

Now I decided to stamp over small flowers and butterflies bare chipboards and I just used the large stamps and stamped on the chipboards " as is". I used black pigmented ink (Memento Luxe) and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Then I colored the heat embossed chipboards with more acrylic paint and you can see that the butterflies are pretty much similar to the large ones on the bottom even with this partial stamping due the chipboard shapes size.

 The sentiment is the most gorgeous Rubber Dance one and I hand cut it to the strips to make the " canvas look" for the sentiment.

 Then two large and full size butterflies were stamped, colored and glued over the canvas.

Here are the stamps used to make this project:

Butterflies

 Something Wonderful

 I really hope that you liked my weekly inspiration post today and as you know all stamps are in the Topflight shop waiting for you !
See you next week for more Topflight inspiration!

Steampunk ATC with Topflight stamps

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

As you most probably already know I am a big fan of all things Steampunk and when it's our " free projects" weeks I try to make something in my favorite style.

So today I am going to share a couple of Steampunk ATC card and each one is a real piece of Steampunk art.

Both ATC were made with Carabelle Studio stamps that were stamped with black pigmented ink (my latest love is Memento Luxe  pigmented inks) that then were heat embossed with black embossing powder. 

Then the embossed cardstock was painted with Prima Marketing Mixed Media paints and some, not much, of embellishments were added to these small cards.

This is the first card and it was embellished with metal cogs and one clay handmade piece.

The second art card was embellished in the same style: a couple of metal cogs and one single clay piece.

 Isn't it a fun and quick way to make a bunch of ATC for any Steampunk swap?
Just stamp a large cardstock piece, paint over the heat embossed images and then cut it to the right ATC size.
Embellish with whatever you have in hand and swap with you Steampunk lover friends.
And  now for the stamps used on this project that you can buy from Topflight shop:

Steampunk Time Machine

Steampunk Butterfly

Topflight stamps: Studio light and Craft Emotions

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my first October TOPFLIGHT stamps post.

This week the DT was challenged to use Studio Light  and/or Craft Emotions stamps and I used both on my fancy shabby style card.

As you can see this card was made over white cardstock die cut front piece using the Studio Light background  180 stamp, clear embossing ink and black embossing powder.

Then the colorful background was made over the heat embossed image using a mix of Ranger Distress Oxide inks and water and I need to say that this is the most beautiful background made in just a few seconds.

The main image- Bird- was stamped  in the same way with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder using Birds-Spring from Craft Emotions.

Then the hand cut image was colored with Zig Real Brush water colors markers and glued over the cluster of embellishments made with clay frame, chipboards, flowers, leaves die cuts and a Love word die cut. 

Here are  the stamps I used to make this project:

Background stamp-180

Birds- Spring

I really hope that you like my shabby card and would try to make a similar one with Topflight shop gorgeous stamps from both shown companies.
