Handmade Collage Cards

Angel’s is now selling handmade collage greeting cards created by Susan Sandor with 100% of the sale price going directly to the Food Pantry at Fisherman’s Mark. No two cards are alike and every piece on the card is recycled material. It can include ribbons, photos, pressed flowers, wine bottle foils, magazine clippings, feathers, rhinestones, fabric—a myriad of found materials. “They are really unparalleled, textural little pieces of art” said Angel LaBuda, owner of the shop. The idea popped into Susan’s head while purging her business studio and discovering 5 x 7 card blanks that were left over from a time, quite some years ago, when she sold collage cards to art galleries and art museum gift shops, including the Michener Museum. Instead of sending them to the recycling bin, she decided that using the blanks to create a new series of cards would be an opportunity to help those in need of food during the pandemic. “I wanted to contribute to those who cannot afford to feed their families. And since I am in isolation and cannot physically volunteer, this seemed to be the perfect alternative. Partnering with Angel, who shares the same ideals, is making this a reality,” said Susan. Angel’s and Susan’s goal is to sell at least 100 cards at $10 each by May 5 so that Fisherman’s Mark receives $1,000.00. Each card you purchase is your own contribution to help feed those in need. Please make your check payable to Fisherman’s Mark Food Pantry when you visit the store. Angel’s Cards and Gifts is located at 310 W. Bridge Street in New Hope.
