Topflight Stamps 7th Birthday Blog Hop!

It’s Topflight Stamp’s 7th birthday and to celebrate, I’ve teamed up with some great designers to showcase celebratory projects using the unique products available at Topflight Stamps. Please hop along with us and see all the beautiful talent from this group of amazing designers! There is a master list of Hop stops on the Topflight Stamps blog! We are also Hopping on Instagram! You can start at the Topflight Stamps account @topflightstamps.

For my project, I designed a tag featuring PaperArtsy ESN stamps and stencil, Fresco Finish paints, WOW clear embossing powder and a favorite reverse-stenciling technique.

I’m so glad you’re here—have a look! (And keep reading to learn about Topflight’s giveaways!)

Here are the supplies I used for this tag:

• PaperArtsy ESN67 stamp set
• PaperArtsy PS364 stencil
• PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic paints: Sugar Plum, Frosty
• Brayer
• WOW Clear Gloss Regular Embossing Powder
• Versafine Onyx Black ink
• Silver embroidery thread
• Jute twine
• Gold flat back embellishment
• Manila tag
• Smooth white card stock
• Square and scallop square cutting dies
• Foam tape
• Fine tip paintbrush

Here’s how to make it—

For the focal, stamp the flower onto white card stock using black pigment ink. Cover with clear embossing powder; tap off the excess and heat-set.

Make a watery wash of the Sugar Plum and Frosty paints, then paint in the flower petals and leaves. The raised edges of the embossing will act as a resist. Let dry.

Then, die cut and layer the stamped image using square and scallop dies. I’ve added a bit of embroidery thread between the layers for some texture, using foam tape to adhere the two. I also added some Sugar Plum along the straight edges of the top layer.

For the tag: Brayer the tag lightly with Sugar Plum, then Frosty. Let dry. Place the stencil on a piece of scrap paper and use the brayer to cover it with Frosty. Immediately place the tag onto the wet stencil and press, then lift straight up. Let dry.

Stamp the script portion of the stamp at the top left of the tag, then add the stamped focal to the tag.

The layers are so easy to achieve!

And one last look—

I’m so glad you stopped by for this hop. There’s still soooo many other projects to explore from other designers.

And, did we mention there will be prizes?
