Topflight Stamps 8th Birthday Blog Hop~

 


It's Topflight Stamps 8th birthday and time 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! The master list, of hop stopsis on the 
Topflight Stamps Blog.
We are also Hopping on Instagram!  You can start at the 
Topflight Stamps account @topflightstamps


I had some fun creating three mixed media style tags CELBRATING life.
I'm using We're All Mad there by Katzel Kraft and Paper Artsy 
(Seth Apter) ESA44.  The animal images are colored with watercolor 
paints
by Studio Light. 

All of the products are listed below and linked if
possible. 






The three tags were created in the same way using the same products, just
changed up the animal and tag color.  The tag background colors are Distress
Oxide inks (watered down).  I added stamps and stencil images to give a
worn look.  The animal images are adhered with dimensional adhesive.
The sentiments are by Creative Expressions called 
Inspirational Wordies Sentiment sheet.  Product List: Katzel Kraft:
We're All Mad Here and Los Nombres. Tracy Evans: BG Elements (TELL).
Paper Artsy: Seth Apter, ESA44 and Kate Crane: Stencil PS429.


Pulling out my much loved Darkroom Door Stamps to
create a card set Celebrating Life.  I'm also using 
embossing products by WOW!, the Embossing Pad
and the Opaque Bright White Powder on the sentiment
strips.   Topflight has a GREAT selection of Darkroom Door
Stamps. My cards include: Grunge Marks, Numbers BG,
Sentiment Strip/Celebrate, Layered Handwriting BG,
Warm Wishes, Small Stamp/Take Flight and Stencil/Friendship.

  6. Love the tags! The funky shapes and die cut holes adds a lot of visual interest, where are the tags from or were they created with dies?

    1. The tags are by Studio Light. I don't think they are made anymore but you could make your own using different punches. Thanks for stopping by!

  13. Hi Connie. Your tags are awesome. They are so unique, and I love all the different elements on each one. I enjoy your blog, because when I see this stamp, I just see animals, but you really bring them to life in ways I would not have thought of. I saw a comment above mine answering how to make your own tag with punches. Thank you for the suggestion. I will try that. I am looking forward to seeing your best project.
