Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a card created with Poppystamps dies to be sent to a friend who is moving, hence the punny sentiment.
I used the pine landscape die to create the cow’s pasture as it would look here in the Pacific Northwest. The original Carnation Farms is located nearby in Carnation, Washington. I created the sentiment on my computer and used the Classic Ribbons die to cut it into a banner.

For me, summer begins in June, no matter what the weather. The ingredients for a perfect summer’s day? Blue sky, a few puffy clouds, and a bike ride! My card celebrates summer with a combination of Poppystamps dies and a stamp.
I stamped the Poppystamps Basket Bicycle in pink and cut it out with its companion die. I cut the Wildflower Patch die several times, in green and in colors for the flowers, putting some in the bicycle’s basket and others along the picket fence. The bicycle and clouds are attached to the card with dimensional adhesive.
No matter what the season, I hope it’s sunny where you are!

Hello, today I’m sharing a card created with Poppystamps dies and a Memory Box stencil suitable for any occasion. My inspiration was a clear night in the Pacific Northwest. Year-round we have beautiful evergreen trees, and the Pine Tree Border fits perfectly with the Brevilla House die. We’re more apt to have a clear night during the summer.
To begin, I colored three watercolor panels with Distress Inks. I die cut the panel colored in earthtones with the Brevilla Houses die, and I die cut the green-colored panel with the Pine Tree Border. I intentionally left some of the windows in place in the houses for some variety. Finally, I applied embossing paste through the Starry Nights stencil onto the panel colored in dark blues. Before applying the embossing paste, I covered up the largest stars in the stencil with washi tape. Even though the stars aren’t realistically in scale with the houses, the largest stars would have thrown off the balance considerably.

Today, I’m sharing a card created with a combination of Poppystamps dies that would work for any occasion, including Mother’s Day.
The Meso Background was cut out of white cardstock and attached to a white cardstock base. I cut the Meso Background from cardstock backed with a Be Creative tape sheet (cut to size). Although it can be a little tricky getting the die cut piece onto the cardstock base, it’s worth it, as there are no gaps in the adhesion. I cut the Wild Rose Bud several times, out of green and coral-pink cardstock. I added a sprig of greenery to the bouquet in the Tall Vase.

Today, I’m sharing an Easter-themed project combining several Poppystamps dies.
I die cut the Fluffy Bunny from white cardstock. Using an embossing folder, I added some texture to the bunny. I die cut the Fresh Cut Grass, a die from the new release, from two shades of green cardstock. I cut the Brighton Flower Border, also from the new release, in green, as well as in several colorful hues. I adhered the flowers, which I cut off of the stems, to the green cardstock Flower Border. Next, I cut the border into several pieces, placing them within the grass borders. The sentiment, on a white cardstock frame, was created on my computer.
