Diva-Licious Invitations

Hey, everyone!!

Has your summer been as busy as mine? WOW! August is HERE and school is just around the corner for my daughter! If you see my head spinning, you'll know why! LOL It's just been crazy, but in a good way! So, want to see a special little project I have been working on? Check it out:

It's an invitation for a little girl's DIVA themed birthday party! Here's a look at the inside:
I am very excited with the way that it came out! The only requirements was for it to be DIVA themed, an invitation, and in colors hot pink and black! NO PROBLEM!! I used the Uptown Girl designer paper from The Angel Company, the black cardstock is not. The pink satin ribbon was from Walmart. I used my Mega Scalloped Circle Punch from TAC for the image. The stamp is a digital image from The Greeting Farm called Pretty Head Rachel, and I used my Cricut Storybook cartridge for the black scalloped circle and the black and white layers on the lower left. The crown stamp is from a retired TAC stamp set called Circle Sampler. The faux rhinestones are from Walmart, as well. I used my Bic Mark-It's for the hair, my Copics for the skin, my Stardust (clear) gel pen for the eye shadow, necklace, accents on the barrette and crown. My pink Tombow marker (Brights) for the lipstick, barrette and necklace accents, the crown and t-shirt. I used my Black Tombow marker (Brights) for the shirt and barrette. The doodle dots were made with my white gel pen. The inside of the invitation is all computer journaling. I hope she likes these!! What do you think?

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!

Hey, everyone!

It's time for me to share another Christmas Card with you! I joined a Christmas Card Club in February and each month I make 4 cards. These cards will be given to my customers at random, unless, ahem! you request you want a particular one. There was a sketch over on SplitCoastStampers that I thought looked fun so I used it. Here is that sketch:

I used designer paper from My Mind's Eye. I love this particular pack! It's sparkly and gorgeous all color coordinated! Super fun! In real life it looks much brighter and fun! Very hard to get a good shot today! The sentiment and Premium White Cardstock, the Palette Hybrid Inks are all from The Angel Company. I used Circle Sampler in Cognac and Inspirational Sayings in Landscape. I traced the sentiment with my clear Stardust Glitter Gel Pen. The green cardstock is something I had in my stash and have no idea where it came from!
This card definitely meets this month's CCC challenge of make it sparkly and/or blingy. I know in November I will be so glad I took the challenge of 4 cards per month when I don't have to sit down and make 30 all at one time! Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? Hope you are inspired to use this sketch, too. I turned the sketch design on the side for my card but you can create it anyway you'd like! Hope you will join me tomorrow for a Frugal Friday tip!

Hey everyone!

The Christmas Card Challenge for March was to create non-traditional Christmas cards. I thought a great way to make my 4 cards for the month would be to change up the colors. It was a lot of fun working with non-traditional colors. I want to show the cards to you that I created for March.
This card features Kraft cardstock and Angelee designer paper from The Angel Company. I added doodle dots and faux stitching with my white gel pen. The scalloped edges are from my Cloud Scissors. The sentiment is from Inspirational Sayings and the images are from Circle Sampler. I used Palette Hybrid Iris and Cognac inks. I added shimmer with my Stardust Clear Glitter Gel Pen. The brads were added with my Crop-A-Dile. I used my Scor-Pal to score all the cards.

This is one of my favorite stamp sets from TAC but sadly it is retired. I paper pieced the clothing of Mary and Joseph with Lilly Anna designer paper and the swaddling clothes on baby Jesus is paper pieced from Juliette. It's purple but you can't really tell it from the photograph. I sponged the "floor" with Cognac and the "walls" with Burnt Umber. The little images are from the Circle Sampler stamp set and inked in Cognac, as well. The shimmer is from the Stardust Clear Glitter Gel Pen. The rest was colored in using Tombow bright markers, Copic markers, and Hazelnut Memory Marker.

The last two cards were super fun to make. They are Pinwheels with a faux button in the center. I used my Crop-A-Dile and some ribbon with a small circle punch to create a fun little button using Lilly Anna designer paper. The sentiment is also from the retired The Only Thing stamp set. I hope you enjoy checking out some very non-traditional cards.

Hey, everyone!

I wanted to give you the new colors for the Color Combo Motivational. I selected Prussian Blue, Charcoal, Sunflower and White. I hope you will play along. Leave me a link to your card!
The stamps I used here are Circle Sampler and Build-A-Flower by The Angel Company. The border punch is from Martha Stewart. Since Christina and Donna were the only two to take my Color Combo Motivational offer...I am awarding them both a prize! Thank you ladies for playing.

St. Patrick's Day is next week! I am so excited. It's one of my most favorite holidays. My kids and I will be making cookies with green frosting again this year. Love that cookie making tradition. I think I will be going HERE for more fun ideas to celebrate! I am also having a FunShop for June L. on Wednesday so I am definitely looking forward to that!

I got three new FREE digital stamps. They are super cute. Click HERE to pick them up for yourself and don't forget to take a peek to see what other stamps they have! Super fun!

I still have a few stamps for sale. Be sure to check it out HERE to see what is left. They are going fast! I will have more up in a couple weeks!

Card Class Cards

Hey, everyone!

I have so much fun when I have card classes in my home! We created 4 cards and I wanted to share them with you today.
This "Get Well Soon" card was created using Premium White cardstock from TAC. It measure 4¼" x 8½" and is scored at 4¼" with my Scor-Pal. The piece of Willoughby cardstock measures 3¾" square. The tent topper is created using two scallop punches, the square from the Sweet Goodies is stamped with Raw Sienna ink and the sentiment is from Trendy Greetings and stamped in Burnt Sienna ink. I used my white gel pen for the dots on the scallops. The base is Premium White cardstock.

I thought a colorful card like this would be great for sending a note of encouragement to someone who may need cheered up! The stamp set is Happy Day from TAC. I stamped the image in Burnt Umber, then colored with my Tombow Brights markers, Stardust Glittering Gel Pens, and Souffle Pens. The paper is Tutti Frutti designer paper, green cardstock and Premium White cardstock. The sentiment is stamped in Jardin Moss. The card measures 4¼" x 11" and scored at 5½" with my Scor-Pal.

This is one of two non-traditional Christmas cards we made. This square card measures 10" x 5½" and scored at 5½" with my Scor-Pal. The base is Premium White cardstock. The designer paper is our new double-sided More Mimi. The layers are brown, green and Premium White cardstock. The snowflakes were stamped in Belle Rose ink, with Ornamental Snowflakes. The sentiment is a PWP stamp that you can get for only $2.95 and is stamped in Burnt Umber.

When I think of Christmas cards, I really don't think of black, but this works! I really like the black and white contrast with the pop of Reflection Blue ink! The snowflakes were created with a stamp from the Circle Sampler stamp set. The sentiment is from Trendy Greetings. So very fun!! This card measures 11" x 4½" and scored at 5½" with my Scor-Pal. My next card class is Thursday, November 12. If you are unable to make it, you can always purchase the card class kits for only $10 (plus s/h if required). The images will already be stamped for you if you order a kit. Be sure to let me know you're coming so I can have your card kits ready. Feel free to bring a friend! The more the merrier! LOL

Scripture Challenge TONGUE

Hey, everyone!

I was gone camping with my family this week and just got back Wednesday evening. I was running errands and doing lots of other things today in an effort to sort of catch up and so this is the first opportunity I have to post the Scripture Challenge for this week. I am loving the color green a LOT for some reason. I have always loved blue and still do, but green is getting my attention a lot more! Here is my scripture page:
I didn't stamp my title this time. I just wrote it out freehand and outlined it with my Stardust Glitter Gel Pen. I used 3 stamps from the Circle Sampler set from The Angel Company. I also used two stamps from the Sprigs stamp set. These are all stamped in Palette Hybrid Viridian Leaf ink. This is all available in our current TAC catalog. I added shimmer with my Stardust Glitter Gel Pen! Love those pens!!!

This week's scripture challenge word was TONGUE. I used the following scriptures (click on them to read from Bible Gateway).
JOB 6:24 KJV
JOB 6:30 NKJV
JOB 27:4 KJV
PSALM 39:1 KJV
PROVERBS 18:21 KJV
PSALM 119:172 NIV
JAMES 1:26 NIV

As children we learn the poem:

Sticks and stones may break my bones,

But words will never hurt me...

The truth is that words can hurt...they can wound your soul! I do not always say the right things. Sometimes if I am upset, angry, or hurt, I may say something that I really didn't mean and I quickly regret it. I have to apologize. When others say things to me, or about me, it hurts me because they are judging me when they do not even know me! Have you ever had someone say something mean about you when they do not even know you at all? They haven't taken the time to get to know who you are and yet they are already making assumptions about your character and your integrity!

Each week it amazes me that the word for that week always is so relevant! Something will happen or I will be reminded of the word for the week all week long. This particular subject is one I have been dealing with for several days now and it's amazing how God is speaking to me through these scriptures yet again, even more clearly now. I have to be careful of what I say and how I react to others! If someone does or says something mean to me then I have to pray for God to help them see the truth and for Him to take the sting out of their comments.

You all are so wonderful to come to my blog and share these challenges with me. It means so much to hear someone say that I have blessed them or helped them with the things I have shared. Sometimes it is hard to be so open about my flaws but I think it's good to know so if you are struggling in the same areas we can help each other along!

God bless you abundantly as you continue on your journey!

Hugs,

Scripture Challenge HOLY

Hey, everyone!

I know this Scripture Challenge scrapbook page is late!! I do apologize. So many of you have left me beautiful comments and e-mails telling me how much these mean to you personally and that is so inspiring to me! I took the challenge because I always desire to know more and learn more about God and His Word but I have truly been transformed by the renewing of my mind as I read and study each week!

Last Wednesday I was supposed to post this and due to circumstances beyond my control this is actually the first opportunity I have had to share it with you. Here is my page:
I used the crown stamp from the Circle Sampler stamp set from The Angel Company. It's one of my favorites if you can't tell! I stamped it using VersaMark and then poured my silver embossing powder over that. I heat embossed it and no matter how much I do this I still love the effect! It's so kewl! The Christmas Red stickles I added for jewels in the crown are also from The Angel Company. I stamped my title using the Scriptybet alphabet stamp set from TAC.

The word for the week is Holy. The scriptures I used are from the King James Version. You can click the link to read them from Bible Gateway.

1 Samuel 2:2

Psalm 103:1

Psalm 145:17

It was so hard to narrow it down to just three! I had 13 scriptures that I had picked out but I really wanted to use these three so they made the cut! LOL

While studying the word Holy in the Bible I found a LOT of scriptures! Some of the scriptures speak about God's name being holy...just the mention of His name is speaking HOLY. Isn't that amazing? Sometimes we hear someone's name and it kind of matches their personality. I've often heard someone say, "You don't look like a ----" and fill in the blank with the person's name. Or sometimes someone will say I named my daughter a black name even though I tell them names have no colors and who cares if I did? I love my daughter's name! It means SANCTIFIED AND RADIANT! That is an awesome name to have!!! But God's name is even better than that for it is HOLY!

In further study I read scriptures that instruct us to live holy lives. Romans 12:1 says: Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. (NIV) So not only does the Bible say that God is holy and no one else can even compare (1 Samuel 2:2) that even His name is holy and we must become holy as well as our personal act of worship to HIM!!!

That is where I have the hardest time. I believe it's true! I want that for myself! I think it is something I have to strive for but I sometimes feel that I won't ever achieve that status. It is hard!

I have faults and failures.

I let people down.

I say the wrong things sometimes.

I mess up.

I have to get forgiveness every single day for the things I did wrong knowingly and unknowingly. One thing I know about God is that He is holy and He is the only one who can teach us, His children, how to be like Him. He is awesome!!!

God bless you!!!

Hugs,

Peek-A-Boo!

Hey, everyone!!

Don't you just love having friends who show you an awesome project that you just HAVE to make? I have a friend like that and she finds the kewlest projects! She sent me a link to make a peek-a-boo box and I loved it!!! So I made one RIGHT THEN!!!! LOL I'd like to share it with you today!!! I stamped the top with my Circle Sampler stamp set from The Angel Company. This is a terrific stamp set! I absolutely LOVE it! The flowers are in Palette Sunflower and the sentiment is in Palette Noir.I hope you like it! Here is the inside:
This is a tiny box!! I love it though. It's a really easy project to make especially with the Scor-Pal. If you don't have one of these yet, let me know! You can get one for 50% off with a qualifying order. If you join my 3 for 3 Hostess Club, you will get to choose any one thing in the entire catalog and supplements for HALF PRICE so you could get a Scor-Pal that way!

Hugs,

Birthday Gifts!

Hey, everyone!

Yesterday was a crazy busy day here at the Owens' house! Not only was it day #2 of the garage sale but Kadesia had a friend's birthday party to go to and then the pageant. I am sooo glad Mini Miss is over! I am NOT a fan of pageants and absolutely did not want her to do this but we still had a pretty good experience overall... I'll share some photos with you tomorrow about that! For today I wanted to show you what I made Kadesia's friend! I made this little gift tote bag for her, personalized with a monogram! It's up on pop dots! We sell those in our current TAC catalog and I absolutely love them! I included a matching pen and a sticky note holder. The card is 4x4 which is a favorite size of mine! The image and sentiment is Dear Friend from Serendipity. Happy Birthday is stamped inside using the Trendy Greetings stamp set. The monogram is taken from the Scriptybet stamp set and the circle is from Circle Sampler. These are all from TAC, of course! I used my Tombows to color in the image, stardust glitter gel pens for the balloons and paper pieced her outfit. The skin is colored with my copic markers.
I hope you like this! I am exhausted so I think I will go to bed soon! Be sure to check back tomorrow if you want to see some photos of Kadesia during her contest!

Hugs,

Thanks!

Thank you card

Hey, everyone!

I am using Circle Sampler and Trendy Greetings for my thank you card. I used two different circle stamps to create a decorative edge on each corner. The ink is Palette Hybrid L'Amore Red and Palette Hybrid Noir.
I am keeping today's post short and sweet! This week is so full for me! I have a WW meeting this afternoon and my mom and sister are finalizing everything for our garage sale! Tonight is a complete dress rehearsal for my daughter. Friday she has an interview and we have the garage sale and then Saturday is a garage sale, a birthday party, getting her hair and nails done, and then the pageant that evening! I will be resting up on Sunday....yeah right! LOL

I hope you like the card!! Thank you to all those who have requested a catalog and/or to receive my monthly newsletter! Have a great day and I'll see ya tomorrow!!

Hugs,

COMFORT

Hey, everyone!

I am back with another SCRAPBOOK PAGE! This week I have been featuring stamping in my scrapbooking! It's a wonderful way to get more mileage out of your supplies and a very cost-effective way to get just the look you want! Of course today is Wednesday and you know that Christina and I do a Scrapbook Challenge each week. We're on week 14 already! The word for the week is COMFORT and I had a big challenge...trying to limit the number of scriptures I would use on my page!

Comfort is such a great word but it can mean different things to different people. For the one who struggles with weight gain, it might mean eating your favorite foods to feel better. For the person who is mourning, it might mean easing the heartache from losing someone dear. Commercials even toss the word around: Lazy Boy recliners logo says: "Comfort. It's what we do." Another commercial begs for comfort from a Milky Way candy bar, which again can tie into the comfort foods. I am thankful that I don't have to rely on a food or recliner to comfort me. The Spirit of God is what brings me comfort and reading the Word of God helps to ease the pain of losing loved ones, heal the hurt I feel and make me rest easy in a troubling time!

The scriptures I chose are: Psalm 23:4, Matthew 5:4, and Romans 15:4 but there are so many more that I love! I hope you will be blessed with these scriptures. Just click on each scripture to read them online!

The size of my scrapbook page is 8½" x 11" and I just used some paper and alphabet stickers in my scrapbook stash. I liked the colors. I wrote out my scriptures instead of printing them on the computer. I had a stamp of hands folded in prayer that I stamped in burnt umber ink. It used to be a wood mounted stamp and I removed it from the block, attached it to our Creative Cling and it stamps so nice now! I colored the sleeves in with my blue Stardust Glitter Gel Pen. The top right hand box has some circles stamped from the Circle Sampler stamp set. The ink is Palette Hybrid Water Lily Green and Palette Hybrid Reflection Blue. The cross behind the scriptures are in Reflection Blue and the cross alone is in Burnt Umber. Do you know what stamp set from The Angel Company I used for the cross? Scriptybet! Yep, that's right....an alphabet stamp! LOL I love how the "t" makes a beautiful cross! I just stamped off once so the color wouldn't be so bold behind the scriptures and I love the effect! This is just one more way you can add some color and design to your scrapbook pages without costing a lot of money! Give it a try and let me know what you think. Don't forget to check out Christina's page and let her know what you think about her scrapbook page.

Come back tomorrow to see my SCRAMPING PART 2 post and then Friday I will have some fun things to share with you, lots of specials and some photos!!!

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,

StampTACular Tuesday Challenge

Hey, everyone!

It's time again for the StampTACular Tuesday Challenge. I decided to focus on some of our paper that we carry. I love the variety you get with each paper pack and the catalog shows what coordinating cardstock goes with the designer papers, as well as the inks that match it. I like that feature a lot. It saves me time and really takes all the guess work out for me.

I got an e-mail from a really sweet lady a few days ago. She was asking me about TAC and so I put a package together for her. Here is the notepad I made for her. This measures 3¼" x 5¼" when closed. The cover is made with the Kaleidoscope Brites paper. The sticky notes inside measure 3"x5". The sentiment is stamped on some white cardstock that I had in my scrap pile with Burnt Sienna Palette Hybrid Ink. The "Just a Note" is from the Trendy Greetings stamp set and the flower is from the Circle Sampler stamp set. I put some glue on the center of the flower and along the petals then added our ultrafine Prisma Glitter to give it a little bit of shimmer!
This 3"x3" card is made with some Willoughby cardstock. I punched a scalloped circle from the Willoughby designer paper and then added "Many Thanks" from the Tag Tidbit stamp set. I placed a circle around the sentiment with the Circle Sampler stamp set. I added some shimmer with my glue pen and the Prisma Glitter. The ink used for this card is Burnt Umber Palette Hybrid Ink.

My Angel Sister, Jany, would be proud of me I think! I have been in more family photos since she shared her story with me than in the 9 years Paul and I have been a couple. I am not a photogenic person and I really do not like having my picture taken at all. I definitely prefer to be behind the camera but sometimes I will ask someone else to take our photo so my children can see what our family looked like throughout the years. This was taken at my parents' house on Easter. We had so much fun!

I kept wondering today what on earth could make my forearms hurt so much and it finally dawned on me...we went 4-wheelin' and Paul actually let me drive for a while. It is licensed to go on the county roads and so it was a lot of work to hold the steering straight and going around sharp curves and down hill I had to hold the hand brake and work the throttle. I have tendonitis really bad in my hands and by the time I got back it felt like my hands were broken! LOL But it was such a nice day...a little chilly riding down the road but it was really fun and I enjoyed it all!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will hang out with me again tomorrow when I share my Scripture Challenge page with you. The word for the week is LISTEN.

StampTACular Tuesday Challenge

Hey, everyone!

If you subscribe to my blog to receive e-mails when I update my blog, you will have seen this card already. I was trying to be clever and schedule this post ahead of time but for some reason it posted early. It is another Tuesday, so here at Hoosier Card Angel Creations I have a StampTACular Tuesday Challenge and my friend Christina always participates! We have a lot of fun with these challenges. Go see what she came up with for this fun challenge!
Here is my card. I used the Squiggle Ladybugs and Circle Sampler stamp sets from The Angel Company. I had so much fun making this card. I was inspired by this card. My goal was to use up my scraps and create my own background using stamps. I am very excited at how well it turned out. The ink is L'Amour Red and Noir Palette Hybrid ink.

I stamped a little ladybug inside the card. I am eager to send this off! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll come again tomorrow when I post my Scripture Challenge scrapbook page and my Bible Verse Challenge on Thursday!

Hugs,

Angel Blog Hop

Hey, everyone!

Melisa over at PaperWings has come up with a wonderful new Blog Hop this month and I am very excited about it. Instead of using a particular stamp set, we are stamping in our scrapbooks! I haven't been able to get any scrapping done in a long time. I am looking forward to when I can scrap a lot more! Let me show you my scrapbook page:
I printed my title "HERE'S THE SCOOP" from the computer but you could use any alphabet stamp set for the same effect. I used the RUNNING STITCHES stamp set for the faux stitching on the title. I had a frame in my scrapbook stash along with some stars that I hadn't done anything with. I decided to stamp "ICE CREAM" around the frame with the ICE CREAM stamp set and the sentiment "JUST BECAUSE" is from the TAG TIDBITS stamp set. The red and white box is actually just a sticker frame. I stamped an ice cream cone from the ICE CREAM stamp set and colored it in with my Stardust Glitter Gel Pens. The three flourishes are a retired GWP stamp. The "HOT, HOT, HOT" sentiment is a sticker strip that I layered onto some patterned paper that matches my baby's outfit! The circles are from CIRCLE SAMPLER stamp set. These pictures are from 2003 and taken of my daughter, Kadesia, but I cannot believe how much my son, Javan looks like his sister now that he is about the same age as she was here.

There are so many wonderful blogs for you to hop to and check out all their scrapbooks pages with lots of great stamps. Check them out and then go make your own scrapbook page with stamps. Leave me a link to your projects in the comment section. Let me know if you like this project! I will see you tomorrow for another StampTACular Tuesday Challenge!
