Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello and Merry Christmas! I’m sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Penny Black supplies.
I die-cut the 51-280 Ornamental Birds from gold foil and placed them on a watercolored circle background. I cut equal strips of grey cardstock for the card base background. I heat-embossed the 30-387 Festive Snippets sentiment with gold powder on one of the bands.
Hello! I’m sharing a CAS holiday card created with Penny Black supplies.
I colored the watercolor paper background with inks and watercolor paint using the smooshing technique. Separately, I colored watercolor paper with red watercolor, from which I cut the birds using the 51-206 The Sweetest Sound II die. Once the background was dry, I stamped the 30-382 Yuletide Wishes sentiment. For texture and visual interest, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-268 A Blizzard die set.
Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays!
Hello! Today, I’m sharing a holiday card featuring the adorable Taylored Expressions Elf Grumplings. Who hasn’t felt like going on strike during this time of year once or twice?
I stamped and Copic-colored the elves, adding them to a CAS card design on which I combined patterned paper (from my stash) and packages created with the All Wrapped Up die.

Hello. Today, I’m sharing a Christmas card featuring Taylored Expressions Santa’s Helpers.
I followed a tutorial by Michele Boyer on the Taylored Expressions blog to Copic-color these cute images. Once I had Santa’s helpers colored, I created the rest of the holiday scene with Dashing Through the Snow, Jolly Old St. Nick (I used only part of the die-cut), Build a Scene – Rolling Hills and a heat-embossed sentiment from In & Out Christmas.

Hello! Today I’m a guest over in the Ellen Hutson Classroom for the 12 Tags of Christmas Challenge. Paired with the talented Sharon Harnist, I’m sharing a tag created with the color scheme Classic White Christmas.
My tag features Taylored Expressions die cuts and a heat-embossed sentiment from the Season to Sparkle set designed by Julie Ebersole.
Head over to the Classroom for a full supply list and to see Sharon’s take on the theme!
Before you go, I’ve also got a CAS Christmas card combining images and sentiment from the Santa’s Flight set designed by Julie Ebersole with Taylored Expressions die cuts.
I heat-embossed the Santa and reindeer with WOW Metallic Platinum Sparkle embossing powder for a shimmering look. The card base was covered with American Crafts Glitter Paper.
Supplies: Taylored Expressions Build a Scene – Rolling Hills
