Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today, I’m sharing a colorful birthday card featuring the Penny Black #30-368 Love Me stamp set.
I was inspired by the final scene in the book Go, Dog. Go! where the colorful dogs have a party. (One of my favorite scenes as a child!)
I stamped the punny sentiment on to a cloud die cut with #51-003 Silver Linings set and added balloons cut with #51-004 Uplifting to fill the white space in the sky (and balance out the color on the card).
Hello! It’s a rainy day here in the PNW and the leaves are coming down! I’m playing along with Freshly Made Sketches #254 with a fall-themed card showcasing patterned paper and dies.
I let the American Crafts Give Thanks patterned paper (from last fall) do the heavy lifting (including the sentiment) and paired it with die cuts cut with the Essentials by Ellen Gourd-jus set. The circle was dry-embossed with a Stampin’ Up Sizzix woodgrain folder.

Hello! I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #53.
I used the sketch to create a fall-themed scene:
I stamped the Birch Tree Background and cut it out with a circle in the Stitched Circle Stacklets set. I created a lot of pumpkins with Little Bits – Fall Harvest and the Little Bits – Fox placing them in the On the Road – Wagon (I wanted the fox to appear to be almost camouflaged by the pumpkins). I used a sentiment from Woodsy Wishes (the sentiments in the set have just the right touch of whimsy!).

I’m playing along with two challenges – Merry Monday #213 and CAS(E) This Sketch #189 – with a CAS holiday card.
I was inspired by the shapes and colors in the Merry Monday #213 photo and the CAS(E) This Sketch #189 design (a sentiment overlaying a symmetrical and centered focal item).
I die cut the Memory Box Dazzling Snowflake (from a holiday release several years ago) from a red cardstock panel (cut with the dotted rectangular die in the Blueprints 13 set). (The Memory Box Spectacular Snowflake die is similar.) In either case, the snowflake die cuts small pieces, which are difficult to use alone. This style works well for the knock-out technique.
I backed the red panel with white cardstock (even though my card base was also white, creating this panel made assembly much easier). I die cut the Brushstroke Peace (Essentials by Ellen) sentiment from silver glitter cardstock and attached it to a vellum strip. I taped the strip behind the snowflake panel and attached the panel to a white cardstock card base. To add a little bling, I attached some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear sequins (the mix contains 4mm, 6mm and 8mm sizes) with Ranger Multi Medium, Matte.
Happy Monday! It’s a crisp fall-like day here in the Pacific Northwest. These puppies from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Howloween set are irresistible!
I Copic-colored the dogs and cut them with their corresponding dies adding them to a scene created with a variety of Lawn Fawn die cuts. I pulled the sentiment from Argyle Backdrops. Keep Cozy!
