Fall Sunflower

Here is another card I am doing in my October card class. This one is a Gatefold style - and uses an image from The Angel Company (sadly, no longer open) - a favorite paper pack they carried - Penelope. Love the rich, fall colors! Colored with my COPICS (of course!)

Every Leaf.......................

Fall is HERE!!!!!!!! I love FALL........... the air is cool and crisp, the humidity is gone, and I can open up the windows and enjoy the weather! There is just something great about putting on a pair of shorts with a cozy sweatshirt!!!

I was playing in my craft room, coming up with projects for my October card class. I challenged myself to do a card that didn't require coloring! I really like how this turned out! I used post it notes, sponges, and various ink pads to make the background! The main image is stamped with a Kaleidacolor stamp pad.

Final Farewell Blog Hop

This is our last official Blog Hop as part of the Angel Company. I have been blessed to be a part of this company for the past six years, and it is hard to say goodbye. The Angel Company truly changed my life. It has brought me so many new friends, and a lot of self confidence. Doing my classes has been my Therapy! It has gotten me through some very tough times in my life. Of course the support of my network of TAC Angels has also been amazing. It is incredible the number of new friends I have made since I joined The Angel Company. All around the country. It was so amazing to go to Seminar each summer and reconnect with everyone live and in person! I will miss this annual trip terribly!

Okay - so about my card..... I submitted this card to TAC in July for a contest entry called Cards for Kids. I enjoyed making it - it brought a BIG smile to my face. I hope you like it too!

I will continue to update my blog - and I will still be offering classes!

Be sure to check out the rest of the Bloggers that are participating!

Thank you, Mischelle, for founding this company, and giving it your ALL. My life would NOT have been the same without this opportunity.

Fall Fun!!!!!

I hate to say this...... but fall is just around the corner. I took out a couple of Fall stamp sets to make this pop-up card. I am posting a picture of the outside and the inside. It may be a little hard to tell that the inside pops up..... but it does! And the leaves are dangling inside! To cut the 'frame' inside I used my Nestabilities 1 set. The patterned paper is from our Penelope collection.

I used the stamp set Fall Fibi and Lilly for the outside, and of course, colored with my COPICs. For the leaves and the inside, I used a stamp set called Happy Leaf. This set is actually a hostess set - but can be purchased by anyone that places an additional $30 order for just $4.50 in August only.

August Card Kit!!!!!

All of these cards were made using the Vintage Rides stamp set! If you'd like information on how to order YOUR card kit so you can make TWO of each of these cards, be sure to contact me!

Christmas in July Blog Hop

For the first card, I used the stamp set Havin' a Ball. I colored with COPICs and added some fun with ribbon and a spiral clip! I used the Big Scalloped Squares Nestabilities for the diecut.

For the next card I used two stamp sets. Ready Set Snow and Santa Claus is Coming. For the background, I used White Glossy cardstock, and stamped using the Stazon Cloud White stamp pad. I then brayered over it with the Blue Breeze Kaleidacolor stamp pad. The diecut is one of the new Nestabilities that we carry - called Labels 10.

Christmas in July is just FUN to say, isn't it? It is a great time to start getting ideas for those holiday cards you are going to make this year........ isn't it?

I am a member of PaperWings - an All Angel Company group where anyone can go to get inspiration using TAC stamps and supplies! We are holding a Christmas in July Blog Hop and I am so excited to participate!

The cards posted above are two that I will be offering as part of my September "Jump Start Your Holiday Cards" Stamp a Stack.

If you'd like any more information on my upcoming September class - please ask!

Now that you looked at my cards........ check out the other participants!

How Big is YOUR World?

This is another of the cards that we will be making at my For the Guys card class in August.

I had fun making this card cuz - uh well - I like FROGS - so the frog and the turtle - they were just TOO cute together.

The image is from the Everyday Cuties stamp set. The sentiment is one I use on many of my projects, and is from the stamp set Bug of Fun.
