AALL & Create Quirky Post Birds

Hello!  We've got an Anything Goes week at Topflight Stamps!  I had fun with AALL & Create Quirky Postage die set to create a backdrop for little bird postage stamps from PaperArtsy Scrapcosy ESC19 set.  I used two shades of purple cardstock with the postage dies and stacked them, arranging in sort of a quilt style.  The birds were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, trimmed and colored with alcohol markers.  I layered some of the stamps with foam adhesive tape to pop them up.

(The photos below were taken with my iPhone in the light tent and the purples just look so different than the pic above!)

Hello friends!  I'm bringing you some inspiration from Topflight Stamps!  This week we are featuring creations that focus on the colors red and pink.

I made a card using two stamp sets from Crafty Individuals.  If you've never seen the selection of Crafty Individuals stamps in the Topflight store, go take a peek.  So many to choose from!

The sets I used are Crafty Individuals - Floral Postcard and Crafty Individuals -  Vintage Tickets & Ephemera.  I stamped the postcard and colored the bee and the floral bouquet.  Then I inked the edges of the postcard to 'age' it.  Before adding it to the card front, I stamped the bright pink card base with a "post card" image from the Vintage Tickets & Ephemera.  This created a background with subtle interest.

Once the floral postcard was mounted to the card front, I lightly inked up a little postage stamp that says "HALF PENNY" along the bottom edge, from the Vintage Tickets & Ephemera set.  I tucked it underneath the floral postcard, along with a scattering of red pearls.  This makes a cute valentine, doesn't it?  Something different, something unexpected.

Here are the supplies I used from Topflight Stamps:

Joy and Peace

Hello, it's me again.  I'm here to share a festive Christmas creation. 😊

This week at Topflight Stamps, we are focusing on AALL and Create dies.  I used AALL and Create ATC Festive dies to create a pretty frame for the sentiments (they're included too!).

It might be hard in a photo to see the glamourous shimmer on this card, with the soft gold and silver glitter papers.  In real life, they shine beautifully!  I used the gold glitter paper for the fancy little flourish die, cutting out four of them to grace each corner of the black panel.  I added shiny little silver balls on them, as well.  They are from Hunkydory's Diamond Sparkle Gemstones. They have adhesive backings so they're easy to add to a paper project.

There are three sentiments included in this ATC Festive die set:  Joy, Jingle and Peace.  The script font is easy to read and has a pretty flourish.
