Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I had a birthday card to make and knew I wanted to use the adorable Paper Smooches Birthday Buddies set. I had seen a card design by Dana on her blog back in December that I really liked that I thought would work well for what I had in mind.
It took me awhile to figure out which combination of papers from the Studio Calico Here & There paper pack would work best together. (It’s a fabulous set of patterned papers!) I created the sentiment on my computer and die cut it.

Welcome back for Day Two of the Neat & Tangled May release! Today, I’m sharing two cards created with the “Sunburst” stamp set, one of three sets releasing this week.
Scroll down for the Simple Scrapper Blog Hop post or click here.
For my first card, I stamped the sunburst with a Hero Arts mid-tone shadow ink and added elements from Just Thinking of You and Swirly Twirly Tags. I heat embossed the sentiment from Swirly Twirly Tags.
For my second card, I stamped the sunburst with a pigment ink pad. I added a stamped heart, which I die-cut, and a sentiment from Kindness Matters.

The focus of today’s Online Card Classes “His & Hers” course was Anniversary and Love cards. I decided to make an anniversary card for my husband as our anniversary is later this month.
My card is based on one shared by Julie Ebersole, which I just loved because of its “on trend” nautical motif.
I made a few changes since I didn’t have all of the supplies she used. Julie had stamped her background with a fabulous Impression Obsession background stamp. I used patterned paper as a substitute, but that background stamp is on my “to buy” list. I created the custom sentiment on the computer.
Supplies: My Mind’s Eye patterned paper; Memory Box anchor die; Spellbinders circle die; Studio Calico wood veneer; Simon Says Stamp mini heart die
