Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today I’m sharing a CAS birthday card created with Reverse Confetti products using the colors from ColourQ #280.
Looking at the colors in the challenge, I knew I’d want to heat emboss the sentiment in gold and use the paler purple for the card base. I cut several strands of the Circle Garland in the deeper, richer colors. I like the abstract aspect of the garland – like lights in a distance. This color palette has a celebratory feel to me!
Have you seen this month’s SFYTT at Reverse Confetti?
I created a CAS card with the plane from Here We Go Confetti Cuts as the focal point.
I cut the plane within the Class Act rectangle so that the plane would be a negative image. I added the die-cut propeller on top. I stamped the larger rectangle, cut with Documented, with a sentiment from Arrows ‘n Elements in gray ink to match the card base. The yellow stars were cut with Oh My Stars.

Today, I’m sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card created with Penny Black stamps and die cuts.
I used the Penny Black 30-207 From the Heart set for the heat-embossed sentiments, 51-094 Tweets die set for the birds and two of the 50-003 Chat Bubbles dies.
I’m playing along with the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #255.
Today, I’m sharing a card made for the Colour Me Challenge with Penny Black supplies.
I went back and forth on the colors, trying to decided which element should be which color, especially the yellow and orange. Although the elements are well-suited for Valentine’s Day, they’d work for any season! In this case I was thinking about spring.
I used Penny Black’s 51-100 Tree of Love as a branch on which to place the bird, cut with the 51-094 Tweets die. The frame was created with the 51-057 Polaroid die onto which I heat embossed a sentiment from 30-269 So Very Much.

Even though the color scheme feels “Fourth of July” (or any other patriotic holiday) I thought it would be fun for a Valentine’s Day card. With one of the punny sentiments from Reverse Confetti Sugary Sweet Sentiments set as my starting point, I cut two suckers with my Silhouette and decorated them with hearts cut from Love Note, keeping in the color scheme.
The bow was cut using a die in the Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts set.
