Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a CAS (and easy-to-assemble) holiday card created with die cuts.
I used patterned paper to cover the card base and to provide the scene in the window. I added a sentiment created with a digital brush set from Ali Edwards.
I’m adding this to the Color Throwdown Challenge #373.
Supplies: Poppystamps cat, American Crafts Be Merry patterned paper, Ali Edwards digital sentiment
I’m playing along with the Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #15.
Here’s my take on the challenge in which I used both the sketch and the center column of the Tic Tac Toe – no patterned paper, gold and vellum:
I heat-embossed the sentiment from Simply Stamped – Roses onto vellum and adhered the vellum to Salt Water Taffy cardstock. I created a frame from Sugar Cube cardstock with one of the dies in the Stitched Square Stacklets set and adhered the frame to the vellum panel. I added a floral silhouette cut with the Silhouette Stems 1 die out of Lollipop cardstock.

Today, I’m sharing a CAS holiday card featuring a holiday tree image from Penny Black’s the 30-308 Peace & Harmony set.
I heat-embossed the tree with silver embossing powder onto a white cardstock panel. I adhered the panel to a card base covered with paper from the 80-013 Holiday Trimming pad. I added a bird cut from watercolor paper, which I watercolored with Distress Ink, using a die from the 51-050 Tweet Things set. I heat-embossed the sentiment, from the 30-257 Joy Filled set and cut it with the banner die from the 51-055 Shades set.
This card would be easy to mass produce and could be easily changed up by heat-embossing with a different color powder, using different patterned paper or using different colored cardstock for the panel and banner.
Today I’m a guest over in the Ellen Hutson Classroom for the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist. Paired with the talented Sharon Harnist, I’m sharing a tag created with the theme – Twas The Night Before Christmas.
My tag features Taylored Expressions die cuts and a Santa image and sentiment from the Santa’s Flight set designed by Julie Ebersole.
I built the tag in layers, beginning by heat-embossing the Santa image and ending with the heat-embossed HO HO HO sentiment! Head over to the Classroom for a full supply list and to see Sharon’s take on the theme!
Welcome to Day 2 of Taylored Expressions December Sneak Peeks! The December products will be released Thursday, December 10 @ 7 AM PST!
My first project features an image from the Stitch by Stitch stamp set framed with the Embroidery Hoop die.
I created the Embroidery hoop out of Toffee cardstock dry-embossing with the Woodgrain embossing folder. The screw holding the hoop together was cut from gold metallic cardstock.
I stamped the owl by coloring the stamp image with Memento markers – super easy to do! I heat-embossed a sentiment onto the Lollipop cardstock base.
My second card features the Picture Perfect – Valentine framing an image from the Love is an Adventure set.
I stamped the plane and masked the hearts on the stamp image, replacing them with hearts cut with the Skinny Mini Valentine Borders and Little Bits – Love Confetti die cut sets. I Copic-colored the plane. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Love is an Adventure set onto Earl Grey cardstock.
I created a similar card with the Picture Perfect – Valentine die framing two bugs from the Bugs & Kisses Stamp & Die Combo set.
I stamped the images and Copic-colored them and cut them with their corresponding dies. I heat-embossed a sentiment from the same set on Cookie Monster cardstock.
