Angel Art Blog Hop Scrapbook Layouts

The challenge for this blog hop: create a scrapbook layout using any of the current Angel Company Gift With Purchase or Hostess stamps sets.

I chose to use Cute as a Bug (Level A) and Be of Good (Level C)

Hostess sets I used: Cute as a Bug & Be of Good

Other stamp sets: Blooming Builders, Today & Forever

Paper: Black Bazzill, Pink Red Bazzill, TAC Black & White Download, Mia's Cottage, White Ultrasmooth

Ink: Moonlight White Brilliance, Claret & Noir Palette

Other: Ribbon, Stickles

I am not at all happy with how these photos turned out by the way but I hope you can still get the idea. They are so much cuter in real life!

Final Farewells for Some TAC Stamps!

Some of my favorite stamp sets are being discontinued (so sad about that!!) and that means savings for you! All stamps on the discontinued list are 25% off retail price now through June 26th BUT quantities are limited, so if you have a favorite, don't wait too long or it might be gone for good! Hopefully you can enlarge the photo above by clicking on it. If not, let me know and I can email it to you.

I decided to feature a few cards made using some of the retiring sets below. These are cards that I submitted for TAC's design call but they obviously won't be making the catalogue now since these sets will be retiring.

I LOVE this set!! It is "Love Doodles" and is now only $8.21! What a bargain! I'll SERIOUSLY miss this one!

The stamp I used on this one that is retiring are the little swirls at the bottom. These are from the "Salsa Flowers" set on page 34. This set is now only $5.95.

And, a GREAT set for making masculine cards is "Fore". This one is also only $8.21!

Sweet Things

During April if you place a $30 order, you can also purchase three stamp sets that you won't find in the catalogue and that are only available during this month. I couldn't resist these little cupcakes and I wanted to show you a few cards I made with them. What a fun set for birthdays & celebrations (and even friendship cards!).

Aren't these colors yummy? I love them! I used orange monochromatic Bazzill and Robin's Egg 1 DCWV paper. I colored the image with my watercolor crayons and a dove blender. I've been playing with different ways to tie a bow and I love this one!

Here's a closeup of the sparkles on the frosting. I made these with the glitter pens.

The next card has another yummy color combination and it's just perfect for fluffy cupcakes! The image was colored with watercolor crayons again and I put pink stickles on the cherry.

Here's a closeup of the bow. It doesn't have a center knot. I laid it how I wanted it and then tied scrapper's floss around it to secure it and then tied the floss off by threading it through the button holes and tying. I really like the result. I glued the bow onto the flat ribbon.

This promotion will be ending at the end of this month, so be sure to place your $30 order and add on the "Sweet Things" cupcakes (or the other special stamp sets available this month too, shown in the post before). Oh, and guess what? There's also special sets available in May & June too but you'll have to wait to see those!
