Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m featured over at the Reverse Confetti Blog today in the CONFETTI CAMERA, whose theme is “Set it Up”!
Here’s a sneak of my set of CAS holiday cards featuring the Layered Snowflake Confetti Cuts set in non-traditional colors:

Today, I’m sharing a CAS “thank you” card featuring Avery Elle die cuts and stamps.
I colored watercolor paper with a variety of Distress Inks, and once dry, I cut the paper with the Avery Elle Balloon dies. I stamped the sentiment and balloon strings (which I first stamped off so that the color would be more subtle) on the card base. I used dimensional adhesive to attach the balloons for depth.
Supplies:
I’m playing along with the CAS(E) this Sketch #144 Challenge.
I love repetition and the Taylored Expressions Little Bits Present die set seemed perfect for this sketch.
I cut the presents from both green and red cardstock and topped them with die cut silver foil ribbons. I stamped a sentiment from the Taylored Expressions Deck the Halls set and heat embossed it with Ranger Super Fine Silver Embossing Powder onto the card base. The presents were added with dimensional adhesive.
I’m sharing another CAS Halloween card. This one is created with the Penny Black 51-077 Eeek! die.
I cut the BOO (Penny Black 51-077 Eeek!) multiple times from black cardstock and a couple of times from green cardstock. Each BOO is double thick. I also cut the sentiment from white cardstock for the insides of the “o” letters and added black circles cut with a hole punch.
I’m playing along with ColourQ #311 using Penny Black stamps and dies. Here’s my take on the challenge colors with a CAS Halloween card:
I cut the BOO (Penny Black 51-077 Eeek!) and haunted house (Penny Black 51-073 Haunted Hollow) from black cardstock, twice each for extra depth. I backed the house with the Wisteria Wonder cardstock. The moon was cut from Kiwi Kiss and the rectangle from Tangerine Tango. I stamped a sentiment from Penny Black 30-185 Halloween Critters in Versafine ink on the card base (the font has a scribble that adds a bit of spooky!).
