Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Playing along with colourQ #264 challenge which is another perfect color combination for a Halloween card.
I combined die cuts from the Penny Blacks sets – 51-077 eeek! (the sentiment), 51-073 haunted hollow (the house) and 51-076 spider’s internet (the spider webs) for my CAS card.
Today, I’m sharing a holiday card using the Penny Black 51-089 Tree of Joy word art die.
I cut the Tree of Joy out of a brushed silver cardstock and inlaid it into a square red cardstock panel. I secured the inlaid pieces on the back with tape. The panel was adhered to a white cardstock panel that I had misted with silver spray using the Penny Black 25-009 Snow Dance stencil. The card base, measuring 5 1/4″ is also brushed silver cardstock.

I’m playing along with colourQ challenge #263 this week with a Halloween-themed card.
The Taylored Expressions Neighborhood reminds me of a nearby neighborhood to which I like to walk. It’s not far away from a park in which there’s a “Fright Night” held each year, and tonight is their opening night.
After heat embossing the SU sentiment, I backed the windows with orange and yellow strips. I added a strip of polka-dot patterned paper at the bottom for a bit of visual contrast.
Supplies: Stampin’ Up Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight; Stampin’ Up Ghoulish Greetings; Taylored Expressions Neighborhood Border; Memory Box Ghost Trio
I’m playing along with Freshly Made Sketches again this week. I had fun combining several Penny Black stamp sets for the focal image, adding patterned paper, a strip of dry embossed cardstock and metallic twine to finish off the card.
I heat-embossed stamped images from three Penny Black sets: the cute scene is from 30-266 Gleeful; the sentiment is from 30-257 Joy Filled; and the snowflake is from the 30-255 Most Wonderful set.
