Square Ladybug 2-Minute Notecard

This is a very quick and easy card to make! At first glance The Angel Company's Circle Sampler set doesn't look like much, but it's great for window cards like these. It gives some nice detail around the opening.

Puppy Valentine Retiring Stamp Set

Here's the last Valentine Card using sets that will soon be retired from The Angel Company. This one uses two of the Valentine Stamp Sets:

Valentine Trio
Happy Heart Day

as well as Earth Laughs (the top background image) which will also be retiring. The little red heart is from a set that was retired last year called Peaceful Heart.

The words "Hugs and Kisses" are from the Wishing You set (which is, thankfully, not retiring this year.)

Kitty Valentine - Retiring Set

Here's another card made with the Valentine Trio set that will be retiring this month. No, I didn't sew on this card! That's the Running Stitches stamp set from The Angel Company.

Lizard Love Retiform Valentine

I know it's a little early for Valentine's Day, but I wanted to post some cards because these valentine stamp sets will be retiring at the end of this month.

Since I had some scraps left of the Lilly Anna cardstock I used on the most recent cards I've made, I decided to break in a new stamp set. The set is called Every Day events and for some reason, the image has not been updated in The Angel Company online catalog so I'm posting it here.

Trick or Treaters Halloween Card

I can't wait to play with this set a bit more. It's the Trick or Treaters set from The Angel Company's 2007 Fall Supplement. I'll bet this mummy would look great stamped on white mulberry paper. Didn't think of it until it was too late!

Sympathy Card - Fall/Autumn

Here's another sympathy card with the Good Timber set. I love this tree! I'm not sure where the green cardstock came from, but I think it may be one of the older Bazzill cardstock colors.

Supplies Used:

Lyra Watercolor Crayons
Stipple Brush (Size 2)

Sympathy Card - Winter Season

Unfortunately, I 'm always looking for a decent sympathy card. Needless to say, I was thrilled when The Angel Company included a sympathy set in the Fall/Winter 2007 Catalog.

I used DCWV Cardstock and white ribbon from my non TAC stash.

The rest was made with the following products from The Angel Company:

With Sympathy
Good Timber
Clear Acetate
