Celebrate! Create your own Inky Background

Hi friends. I had this card on the Topflight Stamps blog earlier this month and thought I would share it here as well.

For my card, I am using the Smitten with Stars stencil from AALL & Create. This is a very large stencil coming. You could line up two A2 notecards and just stencil across if you chose to. So, if you are in need of a larger stencil for some of your projects, this is great one.

I started by blending on Versafine Clair Warm Breeze ink over an A2 sized panel of white card stock. I then took some of the Versafine Clair Medieval Blue ink and blended on just towards the tops of the larger stars. 

I then took one of the images from the Dot Dash Grid stamp set from AALL & Create and stamped portions of it a few times over my background using Versafine Clair Monarch ink. After that stamping was done, I brought out one of my favorite stamp sets, the Birthday Wishes set from Visible Image and stamped two of the sentiments with the Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. 

I trimmed this panel down and matted it onto a piece of blue cardstock that coordinated with my ink colors. This was then added to a white A2 notecard and that completes this card.

7 Cards using the Handmade Holidays Kit from Spellbinders

Hi friends. I was fortunate to receive the Handmade Holidays Limited Edition kit from Spellbinders and let me tell you, this kit is amazing! It is chock full of papers, two packages of ephemera, embellishments, chipboard stickers, adhesive, plus a total of 25 cards and envelopes. Oh, and you also get a stamp set!

And if you find yourself running low on a certain item, many of the items are also available open stock as well. I've linked all the products at the end of this post, both from Spellbinders and Simon Says Stamp.

I have 7 cards to share with you using the contents of this kit. I only brought in a couple of foundational types of dies, the Labels Eight die set, and the Mirrored Arch Labels die set, both from Spellbinders, and some gold sparkly enamel dots. Everything else I used is included in the kit.

We all know that all things postage is the rage right now and this kit has several postage type images included in it. 

Finishing off these cards is a pair of mini slimline cards. They feature the patterned paper along with some of the enamel words.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for your visit and crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

5-Minute Birthday Cards with Lavinia

 Hi friends. I can't believe it's been more than a month since I posted here. I hope you are all doing well. I am on the Topflight Stamps blog today and thought I would share the cards here as well.

To get started, I trimmed down some patterned papers from the Craft Consortium Ink Drops - Dusk collection. I love these papers from them as the backgrounds are so cool.

I then took the Dancing Till Dawn set from Lavinia and stamped the image onto my patterned paper. I stamped the sentiment which is from the Birthday Wishes set from Visible Image directly below it. I made sure to make it so that one part of the fairy image touched the sentiment as that was what I wanted.

I added the stamped panel to a piece of black card stock and then added it onto a matching A2 notecard. I then found some pearls from my stash that matched the rose gold portions of the paper to help play on that and that finishes these cards.
