The Angel Company Blogs, Great Ideas from The Angel Company

Here are links to The Angel Company blogs that feature papercrafting projects using The Angel Company rubber stamps, designer papers, and projects featured in The Angel Company Catalog.

Simply Elegant Holiday Card

Here's a card I created for an inspiration challenge at SCS. I originally wanted to use a bow, but I just couldn't make it work. After smearing some ink on the front of the image I decided to cover it up using some Bedazzler studs that I had purchased on clearance at the craft store for $1.

Created with The Angel Company Rubber Stamps:

Simply Christmas
Flourishes
L'Amore Red Palette Ink
DCWV Red Cardstock

Winter Snowman Card

Here's my attempt at making a winter themed card with some different colors than what I am accustomed to using. You can see it very well in the scan, but I used white fun flock to give the snowmen a bit of texture.

Supplies:

Winter Tags
LillyAnna Patterned Paper
LillyAnna Cardstock
PremiumWhite Cardstock
PrismacolorPencils
Icicle Stickles
White Fun Flock
Copic Markers: YG03, B34, RV11 & Ribbon colored with YG03 (non TAC items)

Holiday Stamped Gift Tin

Here's an inexpensive gift for someone that enjoys baking or you can fill it with cookies for the non-baker! A "Cookie Mix in a Jar" would complete it.

Supplies:

Ornamental Snowflakes
Ginger Joy - Vintage stamp set available until November 30th.
Staz-On Cotton White Opaque Ink
Icicle Stickles Glitter
Merry Wishes Paper
Metal Tin (I got mine from the Dollar Tree)

Here's a tip for stamping on rounded surfaces. Cut up one of the plastic containers that your unmounted stamp set came in and use that as your acrylic block. It will allow you to bend the stamp around the tin.

Poinsettia Card & Candle

Here's another method for using stamped images with candles. For this one, I stamped my image directly onto tissue paper using Noir Palette ink and colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils. Carefully cut out the image and then place it on your candle. Wrap a sheet of waxed paper tightly around the candle (with the image sandwiched inside) making sure it is flat with no wrinkles. I usually use a long enough piece so I can grip the ends of the paper with my hand to hold it tight. Next use your heat tool and heat it just enough to see the wax melt a bit...that's the fun part. Don't hold the heat on too long...just a little or the candle may warp. I used my paint pen to dab gold dots on the candle. Experiment with glitter to give it a fun look! I've burned candles like this with no problem, but take precautions just in case.
