The Angel Company 2009-2010 Catalog is here!

I just got my complimentary catalog yesterday and am expecting my shipment of catalogs to arrive tomorrow! Orders from the new catalog will be accepted beginning July 1st. Until then, the online shopping service will be unavailable while the new catalog information is being uploaded.

The new catalog features images in Actual Size and includes new sets that will appeal to just about any stamper's style. If you enjoy coloring, then you will be pleased to see more sets for you to unleash your inner-child!

Please contact me directly if you wish to purchase a catalog.

Stamped Baby Shower Favor & Note Card

I found some cute little die-cut boxes at the dollar store and put together a quick baby shower party favor with a coordinating card. You could also stamp a bunch of the cards as Thank You cards as a gift for the mom-to-be.

These stamps, however, are on the discontinued list and are only available through tomorrow (Friday, June 26, 2009), but the Toodle Loo paper collection will still be available as it will be in the new catalog that is being unveiled at the The Angel Company Seminar as I type this blog entry! You will also find all the Baby Themed Rubber Stamps at my TAC e-commerce site.

I used my Scor Pal to create the embossed lines of the card and my Cuttlebug for the bottom piece with the embossed dots.

The colors in my photo are a bit off (the ribbon isn't really that dark). Here is a thumbnail of the Toodle Loo paper collection with the coordinating cardstock and ribbon. It is a much better representation of the actual colors. It is such nice paper that I only have scraps left...which is all you need for this project!

Paper Collection: Toodle Loo
Coordinating Cardstock: Toodle Loo Cardstock
Coordinating Ribbon: Toodle Loo Ribbon
Rubber Stamps Sets: On Safari & Double Trouble

Free Paper Dolls Template

These paper dolls were created by Melanie Montes de Oca and are featured on Mischelle's Savvy Projects Blog. Melanie even used on of The Angel Company clamshell boxes to create a storage box for the paper dolls. (The link for the free paper doll printable is at the end of this post.)

Here are a couple of suggestions to try:

• Print the doll's clothes onto your favorite TAC™ Cardstock Paper Collection. Just cut down any collection to 8 1/2 x 11 and feed it into your printer.
• Embellish the dolls with buttons, brads, flowers and more!
• Use Skintone Color Pencils to create a variety of dolls.

Stamped Fabric Ladybug Hat

I'm always on the lookout for things that I can stamp on. Hats, bags, shoes...you name it. I was thrilled to find a plain cap to embellish for my daughter. This set is perfect for stamping on fabric because it has a bold image.

Created with The Angel Company Rubber Stamps:

Squiggle Ladybugs
Noir Palette Ink
Dries Clear Fabric Glue

The hat and silk flowers were from my local dollar store and the ribbon was from my stash. I used the Dries Clear Fabric Glue to adhere the ribbon to the hat, but I used my hot glue gun for the flowers. I also used some fabric paint glitter on the ladybug spots but you can't see them very well in the photo.

Funny Bunny Scrapbook Layout

I did not stamp any images on this layout, but I did use one of the exclusive patterned paper collections from The Angel Company.

Created with The Angel Company products:

Paper : Toodle Loo - Soar With it Collection
Cardstock: Toodle Loo - Coordinating Cardstock
