Yeup, as the posts suggests I've actually made a few cards lately...lol
The first card is
FSS-Hummingbird & Columbine with Penny Wesenauer's Unfolding Flower. I just LOVED this set when Tracey posted it in her store. I mixed up the colors of the flower and the bird a bit as my mother has blue columbine that her hummingbirds just love. I used my Photoshop Styles to make the glittery boarder around the hummingbird and the little panel on the side is embossed with a CB Edge Embossing Folder.

The next card is one I made for a blind gentleman. For this card I used LOTS of different CB Embossing folders and made a shaped cascade card. I put on a tea bag medallion done with Lucy's Funky Flower #2 with a gem brad in the middle. LOTS of texture for someone who can't see, but still pleasing to the eye for those who can see it.
The next card I have for you today is one of my new designs. This is a Shelf Card. Yes, I know it is Christmas...what can I say. I work on Christmas all year long...lol This is
Christmas Elf & Gifts Shelf Card and is a very fun card to make.

And the very last card I have for you today is another of my new designs. I actually have several of these designs great for various occasions, but this is the one I have made up...yeup, another Christmas card....lol This one is
Christmas Spring Easel Card - Red. These cards are a combination of a Spring Card and an Easel Card for a really unique style. A tutorial for making the cards can be found
here. For those of you that keep up with my Blog Store,
Custom Creations from Carolivy, you may recognise the bow as the
Crinkled Bows. This just shows how wonderful they would look in your designs or even in your scrapbooking.

Fantastic cards Carol. I just bought the Hummingbird set yesterday, one of my friends loves them so will make her card with it (in September.
ReplyDeleteHave made a few cascade cards but never ever thought to shape the tops, love the idea. Love too how you have done all the panels different,another great idea so the gentleman can feel everything on the card.
Great Shelf card too, i have received a card like this but never made one (yet).
Lovely traditional colours in your last card.
Nice to see you making cards again.

These are all lovely Carol. I particularly like the first one and the card for your blind gentleman. Like Mary, I purchased the FSS set yesterday too.
ReplyDeleteAll simply lovely cards Carol. I really like your cascade card and aren't those hummingbirds to die for? Thanks for coming to visit me and leaving a comment!
