Hello! This week at Topflight Stamps, we're celebrating CHRISTMAS in July!! I went with a clean and simple design, making Visible Image "Let It Snow" stamp set the star attraction here. With WOW! Embossing Ink and WOW! Weathered Gold embossing powder, I stamped the largest snowflake in the center of the card, and then at each of the four corners, and used a heat tool. The shine on this is gorgeous in person (see second photo below). The very center of the main snowflake has a cluster of juniper berries from PaperArtsy - Alison Bomber - Juniper Edition. I stamped it on a scrap piece of cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with alcohol markers and fussy-cut. It passes easily for a different kind of berry; it's a versatile stamp set!

Supplies used from Topflight Stamps:

Visible Image - Let It Snow

PaperArtsy - Alison Bomber - Juniper Edition

WOW! Embossing Powder - Weathered Gold

WOW! Embossing Ink - Clear

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

An early Merry Christmas to you! 😊

Hello all! Today, I'm sharing a card that features STARS. That's our theme this week at Topflight Stamps! The base layer of the card has a piece of patterned paper from Craft Consortium Ink Drops - Ocean. Then I made a background of stars with the Darkroom Door Starry Night Small Stencil, and a piece of patterned paper from Craft Consortium's Test of Time paper pad. Though I used a gold stencil paste from Studio Light, the Topflight store has silver in stock for you! My focal point is a hydrangea flower and leaves from Hobby Art Stamps - Hydrangea, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and fussy-cut and colored with alcohol markers. I also stamped a postage stamp from PaperArtsy Ink and The Dog Mini 134 in the same ink and colored it as well. This was tucked beneath a corner of the hydrangea. The final touch is a sentiment from Lavinia's Sticker Collection - Uplifting Sentiments, mounted on foam tape.
