Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m playing along with ColourQ Challenge #295 with a CAS card created with Reverse Confetti Confetti Cuts.
With the Triple Chevies Confetti Cuts, I cut two narrow chevrons from navy cardstock and two wider chevrons in the soft pink. I cut the sentiment out of a gold foil paper with the Fancy Words Confetti Cuts set. The pink and navy combination feel preppy to me, and I created the card with a preppy theme in mind.
Today, I’m sharing a CAS Father’s Day card created with a variety of items in my stash.
My youngest son is home this week between college terms, and he folded the origami shirt for me using an online tutorial with some scrapbook paper I’ve had for several years. I added a tie cut with the Penny Black Dapper [#51-049] die cut. (I trimmed the tie a bit and tucked it under the shirt collar.) The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up’s And Many More set.
I’m playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #127 – another terrific and versatile sketch!
Here’s my take on the sketch:
I used Reverse Confetti’s Peacock Pretties to create a tone-on-tone pattern on blue and gray cardstock, which I the cut into squares with a Nestabilities die. I cut two anchors (for additional depth) with the Paper Smooches die. (I have several anchor dies; this one was the perfect size.) The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up’s Simply Wonderful set.
Today I’m sharing a card for the occasion on which you need to say “Sorry”! The Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set is one I grab as soon as the sun is out! So many great images.
I stamped and colored the crabs with Copic markers, and then I cut them out with their corresponding die. The background was dry embossed with the Tim Holtz Waves folder. I used twine to finish it off.
Today, I’m sharing a CAS card created with Reverse Confetti’s Peacock Pretties (one of the first Reverse Confetti sets!) and the recently released Stitched Flag Trio Confetti Cuts.
I stamped images from Peacock Pretties on colored cardstock with matching inks, to create tone-on-tone patterned papers. I used two of the Stitched Flag Trio Confetti Cuts dies to cut the banners from the cardstock. For the banner on the far left, I cut the paper on the backside so that the banner would point the other direction. The 4″ square white cardstock panel was stamped with the sentiment in Peacock Pretties. After adhering the banners, I attached the panel to a 4 1/4″ black cardstock base.
