Thank You Card with Topflight Stamps

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is Anything Goes! I decided to make a layered thank you card:

The background is a gel print from my print stash. I used the AALL & Create Digits Geared Stencil and Sahara Lavinia Elements Ink to make a pattern over that. I then layered on various die cuts (Skycrossed Paradise #34) and washi tape (Twine #15). I also used some of the ready to go AALL & Create Ephemera Die Cuts (Clipped Mailers #67). They are so handy!

Send Someone a Love-ly Card for Valentine's Day

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is all about Valentine's Day and I'm back with another card to share! (Check out the large selection of Love themed stamps and stencils in the store.) I had some stencil fun on this card.

I laid the Studio Light Stencil Grungy Hearts onto a sheet of white mixed media card stock and then sprayed it all over with Pinkella Mysticals Mist. I left the stencil in place and sprinkled some tiny bits of Burgandy Dinkles Ink Powder onto it as well. I also spritzed on a bit of extra water to help the powder crystals dissolve. I let the stencil lie on the paper while everything dried and removed it afterwards.

Hello, this week at Topflight Stamps our theme is all about Valentine's Day! It's fun to make cards for friends and loved ones and there is certainly a large selection of stamps and stencils to choose from in the store. I made this cute card:

Getting Creative in 2025 with Topflight Stamps

Welcome 2025! I can't believe it's the start of a new year already. Hopefully you all have had a joyful and creative holiday season. I always find myself in need of some thank you cards this time of year so I made a set as my project for the week:

I kept it simple – a few background stamps for visual texture and pieces of gorgeous AALL & Create Washi tape (Priority Dispatch). My goal is to send off my Christmas thank you notes by the end of the week.

Christmas Gift Card Holders with Topflight Stamps

Hello Topflight Stamps fans! We're focusing now on Christmas tags, containers or gift card holders. I'm back with another project for the week – this time it's gift card holders. I used a die to cut the library pockets (Eileen Hull's Library Pocket, ATC Card & Tabs) out of Gel Press prints and Christmas Plaid patterned paper. Then I decorated them with die cuts from a few different AALL & Create Die Sets. A little glitter glue adds some bling! Quick and easy to make…

It's Fall! – A Card with Topflight Stamps

It's finally September! I'm ready for fall weather and colors so I was inspired to create an autumn themed card using the AALL & Create Garden Times stamp as a focal image.

I raided my stash of monoprints made with a Gel Press Plate for the layer under the main image. (It pays to have a stash!)

Getting Inky with Topflight Stamps

Hello, this week on the Topflight Stamps blog the theme is all about inks! Topflight Stamps carries several brands of ink pads as well as sprays and mists. I created a pair of cards using regular stamping as well as a few other techniques using stamp pads. Let's take a look…

For the background, I used the Tre Fiori stencil to make a monoprint. This is an easy technique and a great way use your stencils in another way. I applied ink with the Lime Punch ink pad to the stencil itself and then spritzed it three or four times with water. I placed the stencil, ink side down, onto the paper and then blotted with a paper towel. The ink on the stencil transferred to the paper.

I also added a blue splatter to the background. After smooshing the Bermuda ink pad onto my craft sheet, I sprayed it with water to make a puddle of ink. Dipping a splatter brush into it, I splatted droplets onto my finished card background.

AALL & Create + Gel Press Prints = Love

Hello there and I hope your week is off to a good start! I have a Topflight Stamps card to share with you today:

I was excited to try a new Gel Press technique as shared by Kate Crane in this YouTube video:

It gives you a more pastel effect in your prints which was perfect for a background for my card!

The main image is a stamp from AALL & Create designed by my friend Tracy Evans. I'm so happy to finally get my hands on one of her stamps and have some inky fun with it. I added a Small Talk sentiment and also dug deep in my stash for some "vintage" photo turns.

Thanks for stopping by! Below is a list of supplies I used. Be sure to check out the Topflight Stamps blog for more inspiration. There is always something fun to see there!
