Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m playing along with ColourQ #351 with a CAS card:
The challenge colors initially had me stumped, but the inspiration photo brought to mind the Reverse Confetti “Peacock Pretties” stamp set. I decided on equal ratios of the purple, aqua and navy with the gold as the accent.
I stamped and heat-embossed the feather image from “Peacock Pretties” on cardstock, which I then cut with a banner die so that they would be the same size. The sentiment stamped in black is from the same set.
I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #45.
I flipped the sketch horizontally to make a CAS nautical-themed card.
I pulled out my stash of patterned papers (I have several nautical-themed collections, mostly Carta Bella and Echo Park) from which I cut the Little Bits – Fishing Boat and the Build a Scene – Rolling Waves. I purposely cut the wave in the larger circle and the smaller one so that they would like up. I finished off the scene with a sentiment from Ships Ahoy stamp & die combo stamped in a cloud.

I’m playing along with Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #44.
I used the sketch (flipped horizontally) to create a CAS celebration card for a boy featuring the Sky High – Rocket set. This card came together quickly.
I heat-embossed a sentiment from Sky High Sentiments on a diagonal strip and adhered it to a panel that was dry-embossed with the Lots of Stars embossing folder. I added the assembled the Sky High – Rocket with foam.

Today, I’m sharing a CAS floral card created with Penny Black stamps and dies.
Taking my color cue from the sentiment, (included in the 30-338 Special Thoughts set), I stamped the Penny Black 40-460 Sunbursts with several bright colors of dye ink on 110# Neenah white cardstock, staggering the image for visual interest. (I tried pigment ink as well, but preferred the saturated and bold look I got with the dye ink.) I embellished the card with butterflies cut with one of the dies in the 51-132 Flights of Fancy set.
Today, I’m sharing a “just because” card featuring Paper Smooches supplies.
I die cut the flowers with two die sets – Flowers and Flowers 2 – and arranged them as if they were in the vase. I framed the scene and attached it to patterned paper, on which I’d stamped a sentiment from Lovely Thoughts (I’ve reached for this set a number of times recently).
Supplies: Paper Smooches Crystal Clear 3, Duo Dies 3
