Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Yesterday’s Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Card Making 2 course lesson showed more one-layer card ideas (I’m a day or two behind!). I chose to CASE Julie Ebersole’s card that uses different ink colors to create the illusion of depth.
Off to get caught up. 😉

Today’s Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Card Making 2 course lesson showed how to use the Hero Arts Tall Flowers stamp several different ways. I don’t own that stamp (yet!) so had to improvise with the Blooming Meadow stamp. I followed the approach shown by the very talented Donna Mikasa.
After heat embossing the flowers, I used Wild Honey and Crushed Olive distress inks for the background. There are a few water splatters on the distress ink background (that’s intentional!). Donna included some small punched butterflies on her card. I don’t own the punch she used, and the butterfly punch I own is too large for the card, so I just left those off!

Today’s Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Card Making 2 course lesson is about white space (blank space). Julie Ebersole shared two beautiful cards using the Hero Arts dogwood stamp. I don’t own that stamp, but own the Sizzix Hero Arts Antique Flowers stamp, which appears to be the same design, but slightly smaller. Since I only own the one, I’m not able to make a comparison. At any rate, I had to trim the card down to achieve the same look!

Fabulous inspiration in the Online Card Classes Clean & Simple Card Making 2 course today! But first I’m sharing a card I made yesterday from Monday’s lesson. This is my take on Kristina Werner’s fabulous design.
For today’s lesson I tried two versions of the cards shared by Jennifer McGuire.
The design uses gradient stamping. I experimented with a variety of shadow and chalk inks. As you can see, my chevron stamp needs a bit more seasoning! Jennifer’s cards included bows created with a new die set that I don’t own. For the time being, I’m trying to make each day’s cards with what I have on hand, and then make a shopping list towards the end of class with some of the goodies that have been shared each day.
Supplies: The Twinery; Simon Says Stamp banner die + sentiment; Spellbinders circle die; ColorBox pigment ink; Fresh pigment ink
