Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m playing along with the Colour Me Challenge.
Even though the color scheme feels “Fourth of July” (or any other patriotic holiday) I thought it would be fun for a Valentine’s Day card. With one of the punny sentiments from Reverse Confetti Sugary Sweet Sentiments set as my starting point, I cut two suckers with my Silhouette and decorated them with hearts cut from Love Note, keeping in the color scheme.
The bow was cut using a die in the Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts set.
I’m playing along with ColourQ #275 with a Reverse Confetti sentiment stamp and RC Confetti Cuts.
I really like stretching my color preferences with these challenges. The navy and pink combination feels preppy to me (Lily Pulitzer), and it was those two colors I wanted to use most on the card.
I added accents of the Wisteria Wonder with the hearts and the tag circle. I cut the hearts by first cutting five hearts with the Love Note die, then putting three hearts into the die and cutting again, which cleanly cut off two of the hearts. The arrow was cut in half and taped to the back of the tag.
The card measures 4 1/4″ square.
Have you seen this month’s Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti?
I’m playing along with a floral arrangement stamped and cut with the recently-released Love Blooms stamp set and corresponding Confetti Cuts.
I heat-embossed the sentiment from Forever Fall on a banner cut with Tag Me, tucking that under my floral arrangement, stamped in colors to coordinate with the patterned-paper panel.
Today, I have a card to share for the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge where I’m a guest artist.
For my card, I paired die-cut stars with a heat-embossed Stampin’ Up sentiment.
I was inspired by the geometrical feeling of the crisscrossed “x” shapes. I cut the stars in three different shades of blue to create an ombré effect.

Today I’m sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card combining Reverse Confetti die cuts and sentiment.
Using the Love Note Confetti Cuts set, I cut the heart strings in four different colors, two times each. I adhered the same-colored hearts together with 2-way glue and added them to the rounded rectangle cut with Documented, on which I’d stamped the sentiment from Crushin’. I adhered the rounded rectangle to a white card base.
