Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
This week’s CAS-ual Friday Challenge CFC78 is to create a Clean And Simple project that has something torn on it. I used the MFT notebook die giving the appearance of a page or note torn from a spiral. I’ve been turning to this die a lot lately for my projects. I paper-pieced the Paper Smooches Santa and added his skin tone with a Copic.

We’re into the second week of the Holiday Card Workshop. This week, I’ve been using a lot of Ranger Distress inks. I’m sharing cards crafted with some of my favorite combinations.
My first card was inspired by one of Jennifer McGuire’s. I blended Tumbled Glass and Evergreen Boughs for my background. I placed a landscape cut from an Impression Obsession die on top.
My next card is a variation of one made by Kristina Werner. My version is a bit simpler than the one she shared in class. She had stamped snowflakes onto her card in pigment ink. When I did the same, the snowflakes didn’t make much of an impact, so I remade the card adding a little sparkle with Stickles. There’s Iced Spruce in the right-hand corner, Evergreen Bough in the left-hand corner, and Peacock Feathers along the top.
For the card I made today, I combined a design from class by Amber Kemp-Gerstel with one I saw made by Cheiron Brandon. The trees are die cut from the card base and the panels with the distress inks are adhered to the back – Peacock Feathers, Evergreen Bough, and Tumbled Glass.
You’ll notice that the sentiment is the same on all three cards. It’s from the Hero Arts + Studio Calico “Spread Joy” set. I’ve had it on my stamping block all week!

Welcome! Today we’re hosting a Simple Scrapper Team blog hop using this month’s Simple Scrapper Premium Membership templates. I documented a trip to the Boeing Flight Museum that we took with our sons when we first moved to the Seattle area. It’s a fantastic museum, and we visited numerous times when they were younger. I’ve never scrapped these photos, which were printed (I scanned them), and was pleased to make something of a set of photos that might otherwise be forgotten. After trying several approaches with flight-themed embellishments, I decided to go for a cleaner, simpler page in the end. The embellishments didn’t add anything to the page.
Supplies: Anna Aspnes paper; Robyn Meierotto “Let’s Go” paper; Katie Pertiet kraft paper, photo frames, paint splatters, staples; Bebas font (title); Rockwell font (journaling)

While I was working on my card for the Little Tangles Blog Hop, I stamped some extra owls. I colored them with a variety of seasonal colors, and added a titch of sparkle to their wings with a Copic Spica marker (unfortunately it’s hard to capture the shimmer with my camera). With the owls, I created a card to celebrate the Neat & Tangled challenge blog.
The first Little Tangles Challenge begins Thursday, November 15. There are free digital stamps on the Little Tangles blog for your use in the challenge. We hope you’ll play along!
