Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello and Happy Monday. We’re in the final countdown to Christmas, and I’m sharing a holiday tag created with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.
This tag would be easy to make in bulk using the same design with the Stitched Mountain Borders and Stitched Circle Tags varying the critters from Toboggan Together and other sets (I really appreciate how well the Lawn Fawn critters work together!). I added texture to the tag with a Simon Says Stamp snowflake stencil.

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Penny Black supplies. I chose a sentiment from 30-382 Yuletide Wishes as my starting point. I wanted to create a serene winter scene.
I stamped the bottom of the card base with silver ink using one of the stamps in the 30-258 Prancers set. I cut 51-264 Conifer twice and adhered the trees together, fluffing up the top tree for dimension. The star die in the 51-088 Tiny Tree set was used to cut a silver foil star for the top of the tree. I cut the deer from silver foil with one of the dies in the 51-069 Together set and added it to the scene with foam adhesive.
I’m playing along with the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist – Day 7 at Ellen Hutson which is a sketch challenge. I really liked the colors Melania used and that was my starting point.
I used the Lawn Cuts Extra Sentiment Banners to cut the red strips, which I added to a Reverse Confetti tag, cut from brushed silver cardstock. Before cutting the strips, I heat-embossed a small sentiment from the Avery Elle Snow Much Fun set. The snowflakes are a combination of die-cuts from the Lawn Cuts Mini Snowflakes set and a Paper Smooches set.

Hello. Today, I’m sharing a winter Christmas scene featuring the Elizabeth Craft Designs Holiday House.
I placed the house in a forest scene (trees created with the Memory Box Fresh Pine Forest die). I used a Simon Says Stamp stencil for the snow. I added Liquid Applique to the house trim to simulate snow, although I considered creating those pieces either from glitter paper or using Elizabeth Crafts microfine glitter. I used Elizabeth Crafts microfine glitter on the wreath. There are so many ways to cut out these pieces, and I can’t wait to try some more variations.

Hello. Welcome to the Taylored Expressions December 2016 Release! All of the products that we have been sharing this week are now available in the TE store!
Before you head off to shop, I’ve got a few more Valentines-themed projects to share!
I stamped and die cut the hearts with the Filled with Love Stamp & Die Combo set and attached them to a panel, which I had stamped with a sentiment from the set. To keep the hearts in a straight line, I used the panel from which I’d die cut the hearts as a guide. This card was super easy and quick to assemble.

My second card is a variation of my first!
I stamped and die cut the hearts with the Filled with Love Stamp & Die Combo set and attached them to the card base. I added a sentiment cut with the Sweet Script die, which I colored in an ombre fashion with several TE pink inks.

My final card features the Sweet Script die, colored with several TE pink inks.
I paired the Sweet Script die-cut with a How Sweet It Is sentiment and die-cuts created with the Little Bits – Donut, Little Bits – Cupcake and Little Bits – Ice Cream Cone sets. I cut the donuts, cupcakes and ice cream cones from cardstock colored with the TE inks. I added Ranger Picket Fence Stickles to simulate sugar.
