A Special Announcement!

A BIG THANK YOU! for all of your emails, messages and questions regarding what's next for my collection of rubber stamps (formerly available from The Angel Company). 

After much prayer and time I have decided to launch my little rubber stamp designs on my own. I'm working with a wonderful manufacturing company and soon I'm planning to start selling my rubber stamps directly on my Etsy store. I must confess, all this is a bit scary but I feel the Lord's peace plus all of your love and support.

I plan to start tiny (a few sets at the time). At this time I don't have a definite launching date because I'm still in the production phase of all this. I do want to let you all know so you keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I take this new journey. 

In spite of my great sadness of the loss of our beloved The Angel Company, I know God will open doors for all of us angels out there (and the Smith Family) and I trust He will show us the perfect path of each one of us.

I share this personal news with you because during these 13 years you all have been my support in my "inky fingers & stamping" life! I love you TAC Angels and all of the TAC customers and family!!

Thank you so much for always been there for me and my family.

I will keep you posted....

love

..................................................................................

Thank you for all of your love and messages during this week after the sad news of the closing of The Angel Company. I'm proud and grateful for have been part of TAC family all of these years... not only I was an angel demonstrator but they also licensed my line of rubber stamps for 13 years! So this has been really sad for me.

I have received many questions and requests wondering of what's next for my rubber stamp designs and where can you find them now that TAC closed their doors. Many of you had my rubber stamp designs on your wish list....THank you!

I want to let you know I'm taking some time to consider all of my options. As soon as I have a definite plan I will announce it here and on my Facebook group. I'm hoping that can be really soon. I do want to continue making my designs available not only in digital form but also in rubber..I just need a bit of time.

Please join my Facebook group (a close/private group) and my blog feed so you can stay updated with the latest news. You can also bookmark my blog and my Etsy store so you can visit me often :) I love to receive all of your emails and messages, keep them coming!!

Have a wonderful week, my dear friends.

love,

Little Preview: Cupcake Cuties

 

I’m so happy to share with you one of my latest stamp designs available exclusively from The Angel Company: the new Cupcake Cuties set (coded R-2050). This cute girlie image is part of a set which includes 6 additional cupcake themed images {too cute}

It soon will be available as part of the brand new Serendipity magalogue edition from The Angel Company. Here is a sneak peak of the cover….

To color it I used Copic Sketch markers and Palette Noir Black Dye Ink to stamp it on Bristol Board paper.

 

I’m also really happy to let you know I have completed my Copic Certification. Totally worth it! I learned great techniques to use these wonderful markers. They make coloring so fun…plus you know how much I love to color!!!

I’ll be sharing with you more cute colored stamp images in the upcoming weeks.

Have a fabulous week!

Love
