Angel Art Blog Hop!
For the November hop, we had the following challenge: Our holiday cards/tags are to be made in 10 minutes or less--start to finish.
(I'm not sure why mine looks like it's cut sooo crooked! I promise you it's not!) :-)
Mine used white ultrasmooth cardstock and Amelia paper. I used scalloped scissors to cut one edge of the patterned Amelia paper. The flowers and buttons are from the Lemonade and Elisabeth collections of Blossoms and Buttons. The stamps are from Curls & Swirls and the new Limited Edition Noel Noel.

Resuming the scheduled feature (more craft show stuff)...

Interrupting our regularly scheduled feature...
...to bring you an ANGEL BLOG HOP!
For the October hop, the theme was "All Things Fall." I decided that nothing says "FALL" better in Kansas than a sunflower. Every September they start growing wild along the roads.
This card uses the stamp set "Fall Harvest" on a brown base and the leaf from the PWP Swirly Seasons in Versamark Champagne Dazzle as a background. It's hard to see it, but the flash even caught one particular sparkle just to the right of the image! I also used my handy dandy Scor-Pal and Scor Bug.
After stamping in Burnt Umber Palette, the sunflower was colored with watercolor pencils and a Dove Blender, then cut out with mini Kai scissors (love those things!) and popped up with a pop dot on the main panel. I went along the edged of the cut out flower with a brown marker (discontinued) to get rid of the white edge that I didn't like.


This next card was one I CASEd from Laurie W's card and turned it into a fall one. I used the "thumping" technique with Tombow markers after inking with Landscape Palette. The stamp set for the main image is called "Happy Thoughts," and the other one is "Sending a Latte." The joy of unmounted stamps is that I could cut out the "a latte" and use it for non-coffee cards! :-)
The scalloped paper is from the scalloped stack, inks are Burnt Umber and Cognac (sponged with Hydra Sponge), and base cardstock is Aspen. The orange-y cardstock is from the Cha Cha cardstock collection.

Craft Show Stationery Sets
These stationery sets are soooo cool! I received one from Rita at Seminar this summer as my Club MED prop swap. (The one I linked to is a bit different from the one she gave me.) I then got instructions from her and made these for my craft shows. Trudy had one posted on TAC Savvy Projects too.
I've got several gals asking to do this as a class so I'm trying to get that organized. These would be great Christmas gifts!
From Left to Right, these used More Mimi paper, More Mimi, and Winchester (for a "manly" look").
