Topflight Stamps That's Crafty - Baby Bear and Friends

Hi Everyone,

It's Topflight Stamps day! 
This week we are featuring That's Crafty stamps. I choose a set by Magda Polakow. She designs the sweetest stamps! And last year I was lucky enough to meet her in person in New York City! What fun!



I masked off a strip on my card base and sponged with various shades of ink. I made myself masks for the "landscape". The bear and tree stump I had stamped on a piece of scrap paper and fuzzy cut it, but I could have stamped it directly onto the card (why didn't I????). Colored with markers. I stamped the clouds and tree and treated them first with bleach and then colored them in. Added Stickles to the clouds.


I hope you liked this! See you next week with more Topflight Stamps inspiration.

Here are the stamp supplies I used:

Aaaaw! That bear is precious but that background is stellar. Do you dilute the bleach you use? I never have any luck with bleach.

Das ist ja ein knuffiges Kerlchen und Deine Hintergrundgestaltung ist super Klasse!!! Und in das Stempelset habe ich mich gerade schockverliebt. Muss mal schauen, ob ich das hier auch irgendwo bekomme.

Diese Karte ist genial!!!
Der Bär sieht schon heftig ermattet aus, trotz - oder wegen - Herzen, die ihm entfleuchen (hahaha)

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!
