Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card created with an older Hero Arts rubber stamp – Winter Trees. I bought the stamp five years ago and had only used it once.
I stamped the Hero Arts Winter Trees image with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink on my MISTI. (I think it would be fun to stamp in a number of different Distress Oxide ink colors.) I heat-embossed the Hero Arts Christmas Messages sentiment (my most used this season) with silver embossing powder.
Hello. Today, I am sharing a card created for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #270 – Tic-Tac-Toe.
I used the first column – stamping, die cut and red on my CAS holiday/winter card. I am transitioning from Christmas-specific cards to winter cards (still snow, snow people and the like!).
I cut the MFT Cocoa Cup from TE Cherry Pop cardstock and added a snowflake, from the Lawn Cuts Mini Snowflakes set, and a peppermint stick, from the CottageCutz Peppermint Latte set. I heat-embossed the Hero Arts sentiment on Stampin’ Up Marina Mist strip. The background panel was dry-embossed with a Stampin’ Up folder.

Hello. Today, I am sharing a CAS holiday scene created with Lawn Fawn supplies. I had in mind a town in the American Southwest (think Taos or Santa Fe) while making my card, hence the mountain background.
All of the colored cardstock is from Memory Box. I used the last of my red for the Village Border. I cut the Stitched Hillside Backdrop Landscape before stamping it with one of the sentiments in Merry Messages on the MISTI. I added a snowbank on the left-hand side to cover up the section of the Village Border, which would have been exposed.
I haven’t participated in a Lawn Fawn challenge in a long time, but checked out the one which just started and decided to join in!

Hello! I am sharing a second CAS Valentine card created with the Simon Says Stamp Picture Book Gorilla die as part of their Friends release!
I had used imaginary colors for the gorilla on my first card. This time I tried to be more realistic. I cut a number of cardstock colors, including black and a range of grays, before deciding on this combination of a light gray and dark gray. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the All My Love set and cut the red cardstock panel with an arch die. I was inspired by the way Laura Bassen added the sentiment to her adorable card. I finished the card with Lawn Fawn twine for a little color and texture.
I can’t wait to use this Gorilla on a birthday card!
Hello! Today, I’m delighted to be sharing a CAS card created with the Simon Says Stamp Picture Book Gorilla die as part of their Friends release!
I paired the gorilla, which was cut from cardstock colored with Distress Inks, with a sentiment from the All My Love set. For the background, I added embossing paste to Fog cardstock with the Large Falling Hearts stencil.
I finished the card with twine for a little color and texture.
