Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m playing along with Freshly Made Sketches #200 with Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts. Reverse Confetti is one of the sponsors for Freshly Made Sketches 200th sketch!
Here’s my take on the sketch:
I paired die cuts from Weather It Together for the top rectangle with a heat-embossed sentiment from God is Good for the lower rectangle.
I’m sharing a “just because” card featuring the images from Lawn Fawn’s Year Four set.
I Copic-colored the hippo and bird, adding die cut elements and a heat-embossed sentiment (which I amended with the die cut letters for a punny sentiment). I dry-embossed the background for some texture. I thought that the larger polka dots fit the card’s playful theme.
Supplies:
I’m playing along with Retrosketches #177 with a card that showcases the Thank You die cut from Avery Elle. I cut the sentiment three times for added depth.
Even though we’re almost headed into fall, I ended up creating a card with more spring/early summer colors! The blossoms and leaves were stamped with Mama Elephant Lollipop and Blush, VersaMagic Turquoise Gem and Sea Breeze, and Fresh Ink Tuscan Olive.
Supplies:
I’m playing along with the latest CAS(E) this Sketch #136 challenge. I couldn’t resist practicing my Distress Ink backgrounds to create a CAS fall-themed card. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re definitely seeing signs of fall!
Distress Ink background (top to bottom): Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon; Spellbinders bird die; Stampin’ Up sentiment
I’m going to start keeping a notebook with Distress Ink background combinations. I never seem to know what combinations to use. I’ve got a remnant piece from this card that I’ve labeled with the colors.
Welcome! Today is the first day of the Reverse Confetti Summer Sale! I’m sharing a card featuring the lion images from the Leaping Lions set.
I stamped the lions on a white cardstock base with black dye ink to which I added hearts cut with the Shakers ‘n Frames set. The sentiment combines a die cut from Fancy Words (cut twice for extra depth) and a heat-embossed sentiment from Fancy Word Coordinates. I cut the banner with one of the dies in the Layered Banner Duo set.
