Do you like Tea Bag folding as much as I do?

If you like Tea Bag folding as much as I do, then you might really like what I've been designing lately! Check out this slide show to see my newest designs made up or go on over to my page on CUP to buy your own copy to make as you like!

There are two copies of one card because one was for an order. Since all of my cards are for sale, I leave off the sentiments so the buyer can put on whichever they want. I'm really working hard to get ready for my next show, coming up on February 18. I'll be sure to post pictures of my display and let you all know how I did at the show.

Ooops!

Have you forgotten a Birthday lately? Ooops! I forgot my mother's! :-O SO, I designed this very special card, just for her. ;-p I have also made the sheet without the "belated" so those who don't forget can use the same design. This has been uploaded to CUP

Floral Belated Birthday Card Front

along with this Wynter themed one with and without the "belated" as well.

Wynter Belated Birthday Card Front

As you can see, I am still around and kicking. Been very busy tatting up a storm. If you want to see, check out the newest posts on my Blog Store. I'll be doing another Craft Show at the Country Club so have been working like a beaver to get things ready for it. The Farmers Market is closed for the season....to open again in April next year. So...hopefully this means I will have more time soon to be making more cards and posting a bit more regularly on my blogs...sigh

Wishing you all a Wonderful Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

I'm still among the living....

Did you all think I had fallen off the Earth? Wrong...I'm still here...lol I've been very busy with my tatting (can be found on Custom Creations from Carolivy). I've been working out local Farmers Market, taking my cards, tatting and bags. I've also been baking like a fool and taking cookies, muffins and popcorn to sell there as well. Not had much time to do much designing or card making but I have gotten some done.

The first two cards were made for a standing order. I have a lady who gives Birthday cards to all of her clients. She is one terrific lady.

These next cards are to replenish my stock of cards that I am taking to the Farmers Market.

Latest Cards

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.

Some cards made recently

Well, I told you I'd try to post more often, so here I am, posting tonight some of the cards I've made recently for an order. These are all some of my more recent designs as well.

Blue "Guy" Card Front and Tea Bag Tiles

This card was made for an Elderly Blind Gentleman, so lots of different textures for him to feel. The fold is Penny Wessenauer's Sunshine Square Fold.

Soft Blue Card Front and Tea Bag Tiles

The fold on this card is Christian Stewart's Never Again fold with a join variation.

Beautiful Rose Bookmark Card

The bookmark is glued to a beautiful hammered light pink cardstock to make it sturdier when using. I just LOVE the way these Bookmark cards work up!

Elegant Vase of Roses Bookmark Card

This sheet has a front and a back to the bookmark. The back has a really nice verse on it about books.

Elegant Vase of Roses No Hole Fold Back Card

This is one of a new series of No Hole Fold Back cards I was asked to design for a Card Making Class that I am doing later this month for a group of ladies. They really fell in love with the Fold Back Card, but some of the ladies have limited ability to cut, so want as little cutting as possible. Don't you just love the graphics? These are from Jaguarwoman. I am loving using her beautiful work!

Hummingbird and Columbine Easel Card

Not really a card for an order, but one I did make recently. I made this card for my mother for her Birthday last month. She loves hummingbirds, so I am enjoying designing new cards to make her for her Birthday and for Mother's Day.

I am currently working on another "New From" that will be coming out the first part of February. That is all I can say, but I think you will all like the new style.

I also am going to be doing the Craft Show at the Country Club again this year. This year they are holding it on the 12th of February, so I will be able to make a few Valentines designs. Usually the show is held the end of February, or the beginning of March. This will be the first year it will be held so early, so hopefully I will get some extra (last minute) Valentine sales.

I go to see another Dr about my toe tomorrow. When I talked to my regular Dr about what that other Dr wanted to do, she said NO Way!, and set me up with this appointment for a second oppinion. I will let you know how that goes. I'm getting REAL tired of wearing this "boot"...in fact, I don't think they are meant to be worn this long...the sole on the thing is starting to separate from the uppper...lol

Well, that is all from me for tonight. I hope you all are having good weather. Stay dry and stay warm (or cool....as may be)

Sending you all hugs
Carol

I will try to do better

I am SO sorry it has been so long since I posted. I had it brought home to me the other day with a phone call that some of my online friends have been worried about me. Just want to tell you all that I am still here and doing relatively well. I've been fighting severe depression for about 6 months now. Have been on medication for it and feel much better. Question though....when you are depressed and then start taking an anti-depressant and then (several months later) you no longer feel depressed, is it the medication working or are you no longer depressed? Catch 22 here. Doc won't let me go off the anti-depressant just now because we are coming up on Winter here and many people here are affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder, so she wants to head that off with me this year.....wonder what reason she will come up with to keep me on it come Spring...lol
Anyways, I haven't really been doing a lot of cardmaking (although you wouldn't know it from the cards I'm gonna show you...lol) Have been doing a LOT of designing lately though. The cards I DID make are all of my Christmas cards for this year. I didn't have a single card to start the Season out with, so had to start out from scratch this year. These cards are all my own designs, so if you are interested in any of them, be sure to check them out at www.craftsuprint.com/carollepard.

As well as that, I got shanghied into doing another Craft Show tomorrow, after I said I wasn't going to do anymore until the economy got better. So, I had to make up 20 Christmas cards for that too, as well as the Bevy of Angels. I will have a total of 30 of these lovelies at the show, so hope others like them as well as I do! Thanks to Carol from Fred She Said for the wonderful tutorial for these angels!

On that note, I will close with wishes for a Wonderful Christmas and a Blessed New Year and will really try to post more often!

Double Flip Flops made up

I've made up a couple of my new Double Flip Flop cards for those of you who want to see what they look like made up first. There is also a Tutorial for making the cards up.

Bright 'n Girly

The first one is the Bright 'n Girly 5 x 5 Double Flip Flop card. I made this card by printing it out on very textured cardstock, cutting out all the elements and assembling according to the directions using thin foam tape.

Rose Garden

This second card is the Rose Garden and is made by printing out on very heavy textured cardstock, cutting out and assembling according to the directions with thin foam tape.
