Right as Rain - Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

Cottage Cutz Gardening Mouse

Hello! Today I am sharing a garden (gardening)-themed Valentine.

I die-cut the pieces of the Cottage Cutz Gardening Mouse from textured cardstock, cardstock colored with Distress Inks, and silver foil. I used the Fishing Gear set to cut the mouse’s eyes.
I glued the mouse, tools, and dirt.
I stamped the garden-themed sentiment on white cardstock and colored the background with Distress Ink.
I cut the sentiment panel with a now-retired dotted rectangle.
I added the panel to a patterned paper background and the assembled mouse to the sentiment panel.

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card that could be a Valentine or a spring-themed friendship card showcasing the Penny Black stamp set 30-786 Dream. Love from their latest release – “Love and Happiness.”

I die-cut the birds with the 51-657 Wildwood set.
I die-cut the tree and flowers with the 51-596 Bird and Branch set.
I die-cut the 51-057 Polaroid frame and stamped it with the 30-786 Dream. Love sentiment. I added the tree to the back of the frame and backed it with yellow cardstock.
I glued the flowers to the branches, added the birds with foam adhesive, and adhered the assembly to patterned paper.

Spellbinders February 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Happy February! I’m delighted to share two projects created with the Spellbinders February 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Birthday Wishes for Everyone.” With the 14-piece set, you can create cards for a variety of number/date-based occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. I created birthday cards for children with the set.

On the first card, I highlighted the birthday year by placing it on a die-cut circle.

I added the “happy” sentiment, cut from black cardstock, to the patterned card base in a circular fashion.
I added the glimmer-foiled “birthday wishes” across the bottom of the circle.

The second card is created for child turning six who is excited to count to their birthday age (remember those days?!!).

I cut the numbers from different colors and added them to the A2 patterned paper card base.
I cut the “happy” sentiment from white cardstock (same as the “6th”).
I used the negative of the “happy” sentiment when I adhered it to the card.

Penny Black HedgeHUGS

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Valentine showcasing the Penny Black stamp set 30-794 Hedgehugs from their latest release – “Love and Happiness.”

I stamped the hedgehogs with the 30-794 Hedgehugs set. I colored the hedgehogs with Copic markers and fussy-cut them.
I die-cut the sentiment with a die in the 51-284 Filled with Love set.
I cut and dry-embossed a heart as a background for the kissing hedgehogs.
For embellishment, I cut small hearts with dies in the 51-090 Little Ornaments and the 51-281 What’s in Your Cup? sets.
I added the hedgehogs with foam adhesive.
