Guest Designer: Carol Manning

Guest Designer, Carol Manning, my downline, has been busy this past week making some gorgeous cards.   She says,

Look at the cards that I made this weekend.  One of them is a retired stamp set that I found on ebay.  Most of them I cased from other demo’s and changed a bit....I have fun making them. I  use to be a basket case (Longaberger) now I am a card case also.

I love her comment about being a basket case - and now she's a card case!!!!  How funny is that?!?! 

And...how gorgeous are these cards?  Don't you love the scallop embossed edge and the delicate flowers on this card?

Little bit of Betsy's Blossoms here - simple and elegant.

Great color combo here - love the blue and green combo with the Fancy Fan embossed background.

Clean and Simple in its most beautiful form.  Love this design - very easy to duplicate!

I believe this is the stamp set she bought off of ebay - very vintage, don't you think?  Gorgeous!

I just adore this card here, but take a look at the card below - same card, one extra step...

Can you see how she added the lighter shade to this background image?  It didn't take much, but boy, did it pack some pop to this card!  I love the huge difference just a little stamping made! 

What have you made lately?  I'd love to share your creations, too!
