...another Vintage Ride?

Yup! But look at the variety! I've featured an airplane and bicycle, today a car...I used Scarlet cardstock and a free download (Black/White) from The Angel Company for this super simple card.

Here's a fun idea to try...I've always loved the frame stamps I've seen from other companies and then Mischelle, the owner of The Angel Company, shared her version of it - and it's free! Our stamps come with a border around them so she carefully cut everything out and saved the outside frame to use it as a design element. How cool is that?



I colored the car with Copics and left that wide open space until I mail it. I think I will use part of the saying, "Zooming by to say HI" and leave off the "HI" and stamp "Happy Birthday" in the inside. I know already which little guy will get this card...he does love his cars!!

PS. Join us for a Blog Hop over at The Angel Company this weekend...we're featuring Spotlight as a technique. How fun...I'd better get busy! :)

More Vintage Rides

Does this card scream summer, or what? You can't really tell but I used black stickles on the handle bar streamers (sigh, I remember when my now 15 year old daughter loved her purple handle bar streamers - where has the time gone?!?). I also used a flower stamp from the set, Sweet Day Cupcake, to make a fun background piece. I love this bicycle from the Nina B Vintage Rides set...



If you click on the photo, you can see it larger...I colored my image in with Copic markers and used my Fiskars punch for the first time! The saying is from a now retired set...Enjoy your weekend, I'm thinking of YOU!

Vintage Rides

This set is from one of our new designers, Nina Brackett. I love it! I had some time to play and came up with this card...I used an old army training map that I had left over from my Army days! Talk about a packrat! I used to use it for wrapping paper but I think I like this use even better!



I used Kraft and Scarlet cardstock from The Angel Company and colored my airplane in with Copics and cut it out...hope you like it! After I stamped the words crooked on my cardstock, I just stamped them again on a portion of the map and punch out a circle...in the end, I liked the look even better. phew!

I'll be back all this week with more new stamps from The Angel Company...and I'll let you know when my catalogs ship. I'm jumping up and down with excitement to see it - I've heard it's the best catalog YET! So many gals are pumped up after seminar and seeing everything...I hope you will be too!

Don't forget that today is the LAST day to purchase the retiring stamps and accessories. You can see them online, in one easy spot, at my site: http://chris.ismyangel.net or send me an email!
