Right as Rain - Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

Spellbinders Heartfelt Thanks Vignette

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card, which was both quick and easy to assemble, created with the Spellbinders Heartfelt Thanks die set, part of the Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken.

I die-cut ivory cardstock and Simple Stories patterned paper with the Heartfelt Thanks die set and assembled the pieces.
I added the assembly to a card base measuring 5 inches wide x 6 1/4 inches tall to which I had adhered a Simple Stories patterned paper panel measuring 4 3/4 inches wide x 6 inches tall.
To embellish, I added a butterfly and flowers from Prima in the upper-left and lower-right corners. (It’s just a coincidence that the embellishments matched the patterned paper. I bought the embellishments specifically for this project and had the patterned paper in my stash.)

Elizabeth Craft Designs – On the Farm

Howdy and Hee Haw! Today I am sharing a farm-themed card created with Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets. You can see more about the ECD Life is Better on the Farm Collection here. Els has an infectious enthusiasm!

I die-cut the rooster, the hen, and the hay from watercolored cardstock. I assembled the pieces.
I die-cut the grass from cardstock to which I applied Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.
I die-cut the fence from white cardstock.
I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to the background and stamped the Technique Tuesday sentiment.
I added the layers to the card, popping the rooster and hen up with foam adhesive.

Poppy Stamps – Whittle Hippos

Hello! Today, I am sharing a summer-themed card featuring Poppy Stamps supplies. (It’s not swimming weather here in the Pacific Northwest! Nevertheless, I am drawn to bright colors and the idea of swimming.)

I created the background from 1/2 inch strips of coral, yellow, and light blue-green cardstock, which I taped together on the back. The strips create a 4 1/2 inch square background. The card base is 4 3/4 inch square.
I die-cut the Whittle Floating Hippo and Whittle Happy Hippo from gray cardstock. The swimming ring was cut from coral cardstock that I heat-embossed with clear powder.
I die-cut the Whittle Wave Background from teal cardstock.
I stamped the Whittle Sealife Sentiments sentiment on white cardstock and cut it with a 1/4 inch die.
