Right as Rain - Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

Alexandra Renke Penguins

Hello! Today I’m sharing a die-cut, winter-themed card featuring the Alexandra Renke Penguins die set.

The Penguins die set does not include dies for the bellies, feet, or beaks of the penguins. I cut the penguins from white and orange cardstock (as well as black), fussy-cutting to create those elements. I cut the eyes from gray cardstock.
The die set is intended for the Christmas holiday. Still, I wanted to use the sled, so I cut snowballs with a life preserver die in the Marianne Design Beach Houses set. (I don’t own a circle die that small.)
I used the Speech Bubbles die set to create a simple “I Love You” sentiment.

Supply List: Alexandra Renke Penguins, Marianne Design Beach Houses (snowball), Lawn Fawn Speech Bubbles, MFT A2 Rectangle Frames, Carta Bella Winter Market patterned paper

Elizabeth Craft Designs Snowman

Hello! I’m continuing with my winter-themed cards and sharing another one featuring an Elizabeth Craft Designs snowman.

To create the snowman, I cut and glued the Elizabeth Craft Designs Jack Frost pieces, using a hat from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Winter Accessories set. (I die-cut the mouth with a Paper Smooches snowman die set piece.)
I cut the hat from ThemoWeb Flock in white and tan.
I cut the hill after stamping the Rubbernecker Snowmen with Presents sentiment.
I adhered the hill and snowman to the patterned paper background, adding snowflakes cut with a die in the Elizabeth Craft Designs Penguin set.

Supplies: Therm O Web Tuscan Gold and White Latte Flock Transfer sheets, Carta Bella Winter Market patterned paper

Hello and happy post-Christmas! This time of year is one of the most challenging for me. For months now, we’ve seen and made Christmas cards. I’m not ready to completely switch gears, so I am sharing a winter-themed card created with Rubbernecker supplies.

I die-cut the snowman from solid cardstock and patterned paper and assembled the pieces.
I die-cut the tree line from white cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock which I cut with a circle die to resemble a giant snowball.
I added die-cut snowflakes to the patterned paper background.

Penny Black Christmas Season

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card created with Penny Black supplies.

I stamped the 30-731 Christmas Moments sentiment in gold ink on white cardstock.
I cut the 51-667 Winter Greens from gold cardstock.
I cut the birds from red foil with a die in the 51-657 Wildwood set.
I glued berries, cut with a hole punch from the red foil, to the Winter Greens.
I glued the Winter Greens assembly to the sentiment panel, added a red cardstock frame (4 1/2″ square), and added the birds with foam adhesive.

Penny Black – Winter Forest

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS winter-themed card featuring Penny Black supplies, including a die and stamp set from the recently-released Winter Wishes Collection.

I cut the deer with the 51-660 Dashing die.
I cut the tree border with the 51-562 Christmas Wonderland die from white cardstock. I trimmed the panel to 4 1/2″ wide and backed some of the trees with colored cardstock.
I stamped the 30-762 Bright and Light sentiment in white pigment ink on a dark blue cardstock (now retired SU Blueberry Bushel) 4 1/2″ square.
I adhered the tree border to the sentiment panel and added the deer with foam adhesive.
To fill the sky, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-268 A Blizzard and 51-080 Around Town sets.
