Pure Poppy
Hello, happy Monday! It's Colleen here with you to share a card for our Topflight Stamps "Anything Goes" week. I chose a beautiful poppy stamp from Crafty Individuals called Pretty Poppy. I stamped it on a scrap piece of white cardstock and colored the frame and flower with alcohol markers. Though it's hard to see in the photo, I added some glossy glue to the center of the flower to make it raised and shiny. And, since I breathe more deeply when I look at flowers, I thought it would be appropriate to use a "breathe" sentiment from PaperArtsy Scrapcosy 41 stamp set. There are many words in that set, and you can come up with so many combos/phrases. I stamped the word and used a small 'ticket' punch I had to create the perfect accompaniment to a beautiful poppy. The wide lace is vintage, from my dear aunt. Thanks so much for taking a peek, and hope your day is beautiful!

Springtime Bird Nest
Hi! This week at Topflight Stamps, we're creating with Spring or Mother's Day in mind. I happen to have both! The front of my card doesn't say "Mom", but can certainly be used for Mother's Day. With a page from the Creative Expressions Nature's Compendium paper pad, I created a base layer for my card. On another piece of paper from the same pad, I stamped Crafty Individuals Love Is All Around Bird Nest with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, then trimmed it out and mounted on the base panel. On vanilla and white cardstocks, I stamped an assortment of tiny things: blossoms and a tiny butterfly from Hobby Art Hydrangea, and little tickets and a "for you" circle from Crafty Individuals Vintage Tickets & Ephemera. Each piece was fussy cut, edges inked for a vintage look, and assembled in a cluster around a flower I had in my stash. The little butterfly was mounted on the "for you" circle. For the hydrangea blossoms, each one was topped with a Hunkydory Diamond Sparkles Gemstone (a silver ball).

For my birthday card, I started with a plaid piece of patterned paper. Using Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink and PaperArtsy Scrapcosy PS317 stencil, I added a regal design at the top and bottom of the paper. On cream colored cardstock, I stamped the following in Versafine Onyx Black ink and then trimmed them out and sponged edges with brown ink: Crafty Individuals Seven Cheeky Songbirds and Crafty Individuals Vintage Tickets & Ephemera. The Crafter's Companion 'Loving Thoughts' sentiment was stamped on a round die cut, with edges inked in a vintage brown. All of the elements were layered on top of two pieces of vintage lace, nestled between both of the stenciled borders. Thanks for joining me! Best of luck on the hop!

Snowy Cottage
Hello! Today I am sharing a snowy card with goodies from Topflight Stamps. It's still cold where I live, and there is snow on the ground, and that inspired this wintry scene.
The cute little house is Crafty Individuals "Little Cottage In The Snow". I stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black on patterned paper, then trimmed it out. With a Crealies Stitched Rectangle die, I created a mat out of gold cardstock and mounted the cottage image on there. The mat beneath that is a panel of white brick patterned paper from Craft Consortium Brick Textures paper pad.
I stamped little snowflakes from Studio Light - Vintage Winter Elements - Vintage Christmas stamp set on patterned paper and fussy-cut those out to add around the framed cottage. Using a toothpick, I added dots of "snow" with Lavinia Snow White Chalk Paint all over the scene.
Last touch was a sentiment, which is from Creative Expressions Joyful Wishes, stamped twice.

Tall Wild Flowers
Hello! I am sharing a collage-style card using pretty stamps from Topflight Stamps. Spring is (eventually) coming, and I took my inspiration from that, with lots of greenery coming up from the earth.
First, I stamped the two images from Crafty Individuals' Tall Wild Flowers on green patterned paper, and trimmed them out. Next, I stamped some small ephemera from PaperArtsy Scrapcosy 41 on cream cardstock and trimmed those out. I played around with how I would layer all of these components and once I found the right look, I took a pic with my phone camera to remind me how I did it. To build the base beneath all the pieces, I used green striped patterned paper and lace from my stash. Then, using glue, I added back all of the little pieces on top of the lace.
Check out the oodles of stamps in the Scrapcosy 41 set! So many fun things to play with!

A Christmas Bird with Lavinia Stencil
Hello friends! It's Colleen Dietrich here with you today for Topflight Stamps. This week we are highlighting Lavinia Stamps goodies! The Lavinia section of the Topflight Stamps store is huge; over 700 items, including stamps, stencils, paint and more.
For today's card, I used a Lavinia stencil called Laurel. It's a pretty vine, soft and delicate. It reminds me of the organic designs on icy windows. With that inspiration, I made a Christmas card. I also used Lavinia Dinkles in Paynes Gray to help create a mottled texture. I lined up the stencil on top of watercolor paper and spread a silver paste on top, then removed the stencil. When the silver paste was dry, I sprinkled on the Paynes Gray Dinkles and spritzed with water a few times. The effect was beautiful! It spread in a random fashion amidst the Laurel leaves. When it was dry, I was ready for the next layers of the card.
I used a piece of vellum die-cut in the shape of a flower, so the beautiful stencilling could shine through, and glued to the center of the card. Then, using the Crafty Individuals Love Is All Around Bird Nest stamp, I stamped the image and fussy-cut the bird, then added brown ink to distress the edges. Some pearls and a sentiment from Studio Light - Vintage Winter Elements stamp set finished off the frosty card.

Floral Postcard
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.

Joyful Robins
Hello all! I am here to share with you a card created for the Topflight Stamps Design Team as we highlight AALL & Create products this week! I used the ATC Festive die set for my sentiment. It looks pretty with a subtle silver glitter paper, and lives up to the 'festive' name! I also used the Crafty Individuals - Jolly Holly Robins to coordinate with the 'joy' die cut. Those little birds are singing amidst holly branches... definitely a joyful scene! These were mounted on a panel of deep red patterned paper, to make both the image and the die cut pop.
Be sure to check out all of the AALL & Create items in the Topflight Stamps store. So, so many AALL options - over 1,000 items!
