Hey, everyone!

Last week I came up with a new color combo. You can look here for the card I created. The colors are white, red, blue, green and brown. You can use any shade of those colors that you want. You can make a scrapbook page, alter an item, create home decor, an ATC or regular size card like the one I am sharing today:

I used the Circle Sampler stamp set to create the large circles in the background. the red polka dots are from the Build-A-Background Hostess Level A stamp set. The sentiment is from You Are and the image is from Fairytale Fun. The white faux stitching is created using my favorite white gel pen! I used Copics to color in the pillow the frog is sitting on. I added sparkle on the crown and around the trim and tassels on the pillow with my Stardust Glitter Gel Pens. I used my Tombow markers for the frog and the crown.

Next week I will have a new color combo so be sure to come and check that out!

January Scrapbook Class

Hey, everyone!

I am having a scrapbooking class tomorrow at my house at 1 p.m. The cost is $10 for the class and all materials are included in the kit. You will only need to bring your favorite adhesive. If you cannot come to the class but would like to purchase the kit, just send me an e-mail at hoosier_card_angel@yahoo.com and I will give you all the details. Here is the 2 page 12x12 layout that we are going to create:
It's a combination of Amberley Grace and Hemingway designer papers from The Angel Company. The other stamp sets that were used on this layout are You Are and Family Is Forever and Little Things. All of these items are from TAC.

The "love" sentiment on this title page is created with the Scriptybet set in Noir Palette Hybrid Ink. I used Burnt Umber Palette Hybrid Ink to sponge the edges on each photo box.
Here you can see the Stardust Clear Gelly Pen outlining the sentiment. I love the shimmery effect it has!

The second page of this two-page spread features a series of squares that showcases the beautiful designer paper in these two paper packs. The center was left open to add a photo or journaling.
I used Noir Palette Hybrid ink for three of the squares and Burnt Umber on the others with the Stardust Clear Gelly Pen to highlight the words for a shimmery watermark effect. I love how it turned out! If you have any questions, please let me know! I am looking forward to Friday's class!

Hey, everyone!

I was hanging out over at Paper Wings for a few and saw a new sketch was up in the Motivation Station! Check it out: I saw the heart on the sketch and immediately I knew I wanted to try it out. Laurie pointed out that we could use any shape we wanted in place of the heart, but I knew just what I wanted to do! I grabbed my More Mimi scraps (I've used a lot of this paper but I love it!) and some neutral cardstock and made this for my daughter's Valentine card.
I used stamps from The Angel Company: You Are (Serendipity Street) and Swirly Gigs (Main Catalog). I used Belle Rose for the Swirly Gig stamps and Burnt Umber for the sponging and You Are stamp set. I made a sweet little pink bow with my satin ribbon using my Bow-Easy. I finished the card off by rounding the corners with the ½" side of my Corner Chomper! I added some faux stitching with my white gel pen and popped the heart layers up on dimensionals. I know I have used this amazing double-sided paper a lot but it's wonderful! Each 12x12 sheet has a different design on each side so you are really getting twice as many options as you would with any of our other paper packs! I hope you like my card today!! Let me know where I can find your card that you create with this sketch!

Our Family Scrapbook Page!

Hey, everyone!

My friend had a scrapbook party at her house! I taught her and her guests how to create a 12x12 scrapbook page using stamp sets from The Angel Company. We had a lot of fun and she was able to get enough orders for DOUBLE hostess benefits! Here is the scrapbook page we created:

This is June's hostess gift I made her with my Bind-It-All machine. I rounded the corners with my awesome Corner Chomper! You have to get one of these!!! I love mine!
I love using our scalloped square punches for a layering effect! Here is a look at the inside:

Thanks for hanging out with me today! Let me know if you would like to book your party this month to take advantage of your double hostess benefits. There are very few openings left this month so be sure you call today if you are considering it.

Father's Day Angel Blog Hop

Hey, everyone!

It's time for another Angel Blog Hop! The theme is FATHER'S DAY! I decided to make a fun card for my husband that reflected my kids....so I grabbed some stamps and here is what I came up with:The purple designer paper is the retired Gentle Beginnings. I love that paper!!! The Butterfly Kisses is from the Kid Praises stamp set (now 25% off on the Retired List). I picked this stamp to reflect my daughter because she always gives her daddy butterfly kisses and her room is decorated in pink and purple. The dinosaur is from the same set (order it soon if this is on your wish list before it's too late to order it anymore). My son loves dinosaurs and I know Paul will like the dino. Javan loves green so I picked some green and yellow to make it more fun! I stamped the "for you" sentiment from the Dear Friend stamp set in our Serendipity Catalog. I love it! It's a great set!!! The "you are" sentiment is from the YOU ARE stamp set also found in Serendipity. Then I put "dad" at the top of the card. It's stamped with the Viridian Leaf and Iris Palette Hybrid ink pads. I used the Scriptybet stamp set for that. I doodled some images inside the letters for a fun effect since the kids are giving it to him. The cardstock is cut at 4¼"x11" and scored at 5½".

Gifts for Mother's Day!

Hey, everyone!

Today's StampTACular Tuesday Challenge is a little different than usual. Today, Christina and I are making mini albums for our mothers-in-law. I know they will enjoy receiving these on Mother's Day! Here is the mini album I made.

The stamps are from The Angel Company: Sprigs and You Are. Be sure you go to Christina's blog to check out her mini-album!

My mom told me she wanted me to make her a dishwasher magnet that said CLEAN and DIRTY. I thought OKAY! So here it is...

Gotta love those Stardust Glitter Gel Pens! The pig stamp is from a former TAC Stamp of the Month. I sponged him in Burnt Umber for a dirty look. I used my Chestnut Memory Marker for coloring in the word DIRTY and the "mud" beneath the pig. I used my Pink Brights Tombow marker to color in the pig and my Stardust Glitter Gel Pens to create some shimmer. I hope she likes this magnet! Tomorrow is my Scripture Challenge and Christina will be sharing her page on her blog, too. I have a few more things to share with you, too, so be sure to hang out with me again tomorrow!

Hugs,

National Scrapbook Day Week Long Events!

Hey, everyone!

Can you believe this month is rapidly coming to an end? Do you know what this weekend is? It's National Scrapbooking Day!!! How fun is that? I am so excited! In honor of NSD, some of us Angels at Paper Wings are having a week long celebration of events featuring different ways to incorporate stamping with our scrapbooking! I am going to start the week off with a really fun Progressive Scrapbook Page! I'd love for you to make one of these, too! If you are new to stamping, scrapbooking or both this is a really great way to get started doing both! For the seasoned stampers you can use this project as a stepping stone to create your own beautiful layouts as you embellish as much or as little as you want!

Here is how I built my page:

First I trimmed my photo to 5” x 5½” then I cut my designer paper to 6” x 6”. I used The Angel Company’s Winterberry paper (V-903).

I placed my photo in the center of an 8½” x 11” piece of cardstock. I used The Angel Company’s Premium White Cardstock (V-290). I used the Sprigs stamp set (T-2676), the one with stars, in Palette Hybrid Reflection Blue ink (TT-205). I stamped one sprig on the top left corner of the page and one on the bottom right corner of the page near the photo to frame it. I stamped “our son” with The Angel Company’s Scriptybet stamp set (T-2722) in the same color ink.

I popped out a circle tab and oval tab from The Angel Company’s Essential Elements (A-11). These were mounted on The Angel Company’s Winterberry paper. The oval tab has “You sweet little thing”, from The Angel Company’s Hey Chick stamp set (T-2260), stamped in Palette Hybrid Reflection Blue ink. The round tab has “Love You”, from The Angel Company’s Circle Sampler stamp set, (T-2691) stamped in the same ink. I used a chipboard bracket from The Angel Company’s Essential Elements and inked it up in the same color, as well. The sentiment is from The Angel Company’s You Are stamp set (T-3021). Place on a 12x12 cardstock base and you are done! It truly is so fun and simple to do! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this layout. I'd love to see yours, too. Just put the link to your project in the comment section and I will go check it out! There are some really fun stuff coming your way this week! Don't miss tomorrow's StampTACular Tuesday Challenge with me and Christina! Wednesday is my Inspirational Day where I share a scrapbook page with you all! I'm also going to share some pictures of my kitchen since it is almost finished! I hope you'll hang out with me again tomorrow!

Hugs,
