Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today I’m sharing a winter holiday card featuring Avery Elle’s Snow Much Fun set. I just love the moose (actually I’m in love with the entire set!) and played with perspective a bit by squeezing him into the gondola from the Snow Caps set!
I colored the moose with Copic markers, cut him with the coordinating die, and put him into the gondola. The gondola was cut from colored cardstock and white cardstock, with a layer of vellum behind the moose.

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is Think Pink! Here’s my take on the theme:
I stamped Goldie onto white cardstock and colored her with Copic markers. I then cut her out with a companion die. I stamped the sentiment and grass tufts onto the mint blue cardstock and cut the panel with one of the Double Pierced Rectangle dies. The balloons were cut with the two of the dies in the Balloons Elle-ments set and colored with Copic markers. (I first tried using balloons cut from colored cardstock but the pinks didn’t match the color in Goldie’s outfit, and I decided that they needed to match! I also think that the Copic coloring adds a little oomph to the balloons, whereas the colored cardstock was a little dull.)

I’m sharing a Thank You card featuring the birds from Avery Elle’s Tweet Tweet set paired with a sentiment from Many Thanks.
On a previous project, I colored the birds, stamped on kraft cardstock, with Prismacolor pencils. For this card, I stamped the birds and colored them with Copics, then used their companion dies to cut them out. I created a window with the partial die cut technique I used on this card, and then stamped the sentiment underneath. I cut the panel with the Pierced Rectangles set. To create the background for the window, I blended a combination of Distress Inks. Once finished, I felt that the colors overpowered the birds, so I covered the background with vellum.

Today, I’m sharing a “Thinking of You” card in honor of the end-of-summer. The changing of the seasons is always bittersweet, and for me, especially at the end of the summer!
I created this card a couple of weeks ago when the weather was still summery, but today the PNW drizzle has resumed! This will probably be my last “summer-themed” card of the year as Halloween and holiday supplies are now out on my work table! I used the Taylored Expressions Build a Scene Rolling Hills and Rolling Waves to create the sand and waves. While the Avery Elle stamp set coordinates with their Hello word die, I find myself using the sentiments alone as I really like the font.

It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is Non-White Card Base! Here’s my take on the theme:
I stamped and heat-embossed the birds from Tweet Tweet on kraft cardstock and colored them with Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment from Simply Said: You was heat-embossed white on black cardstock.
