CC Designs Birthday Critters with Artful Angel

 I am frantically trying to catch up with my blogging and posting.  Unfortunately, I am behind what with trying to pack up both my daughter and I to move in opposite directions lol.  In the meantime, I have created a birthday card to share with you today using the Birthday Critters stamp set from CC designs, available at Artful Angel!

These cute little critters make great birthday (as well as many other celebratory) greeting cards both masculine and feminine!  For the cards I created (and there are a few ;)) I used the Echo Park paper 6x6 paper pad called A Birthday Wish Boy, also available in the Artful Angel shop!

I have colored this little critter using my Copic Markers and layered it over paper from the A Birthday Wish paper pad, added the stamped sentiment and some of enamel dots.  I have also used a card sketch to jump start my mojo (he seems to have gone on vacation without me!), although for the life of me I cannot remember where the sketch is from.

A new release is coming in May!  Are you excited?  Come and see us in the Facebook group, Artful Angel Takes Flight to see what's coming!

Cup of Joy with Joy Clair Designs

 Good day my crafty peeps, I am so happy it is summer finally!  We seemed to go right from winter, straight to the heat of summer!  How is the weather in your neck of the woods?

For my project today I am sharing a single layer card I created using the Cup of Joy digital stamp set from Joy Clair Designs.  This is such a pretty stamp set and it could be used for many things, such as new home, birthday, congratulations, thinking of you...and let's not forget Mother's Day!

Spotlight Sunday with Artful Angel: The Greeting Farm

 Happy Canada Day weekend for all my Canadian Friends, and Happy Independence Day for all my American friends!  I had a great weekend, got some housework done, had a road trip and spent today doing whatever I wanted!  Gotta love 3-day weekends ;)  

We are kicking off Spotlight Sundays today with Artful Angel, and our first featured stamp company is the Greeting Farm.  For three days only, the featured stamp set, and three of it's buddies, are on sale for 30% off in the Artful Angel shop!

I have created a couple projects to share with you today using the set called New Beginnings by The Greeting Farm.  Along with New Beginnings, there are three other stamp sets included in this sale:  Minkie Friends, Cute Script and Beautiful Girls...all by The Greeting Farm!  This sale is only in effect until Tuesday, July 5th, and stock is limited so hurry up and visit the Artful Angel shop (discount is applied when you add to your cart)!

For this card, I created a dimensional card using all of the cute critters, the wagon, a sentiment and all of the tiny flowers included in this set.  It's a great card for any kind of new beginning!  Could be a new baby on the way, a new home, and new job...pretty much anything!

These little tags (I'm calling them wallet tags) are reminders for us to enjoy the little things, because they are what matter in life.  It's not always the big things.  It's the pretty flowers you see on your walk, or the critters climbing in the trees.  Anything that makes you smile, no matter how small is worth the effort to smile and enjoy.  I created these for my daughter and I to keep in our wallets and we can pull them out whenever we need that little reminder!

We will have another featured stamp set (and it's buddies) on sale again for you next week, so stay tuned!
