Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Playing along with colourQ #264 challenge which is another perfect color combination for a Halloween card.
I combined die cuts from the Penny Blacks sets – 51-077 eeek! (the sentiment), 51-073 haunted hollow (the house) and 51-076 spider’s internet (the spider webs) for my CAS card.
I am sharing another holiday card crafted with products from the Essentials by Ellen release designed by Julie Ebersole exclusively for Ellen Hutson LLC.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Brushstroke Christmas set, as well as the lights from the Tis the Season set. The stag was cut from both green and gold foil cardstock. I cut two layers for extra depth. The die cuts and stamps in this release work so well together!
Supplies: Essentials by Ellen Prize Stag die, Brushstroke Christmas and Tis the Season stamps; Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder
I’m back with another take on the Impression Obsession truck – this time on a holiday-themed card. For my scene, I’ve imagined a family gathering their Christmas trees in a snowy forest.
I used white embossing paste on a Simon Says Stamp stencil to create the softly falling snow. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set from a few years ago. I like the informal font for this style of card.
The Online Card Classes Copic Markers class starts tomorrow – looking forward to several weeks of coloring!
Supplies: Simon Says Stamp stencil, Hero Arts Holiday Cheer stamp set
Today, I’m sharing a CAS card created with products from the recent Penny Black Pocket Treasures release.
To begin, I cut the glasses using a die from the 51-055 Shades set several times, from both black cardstock and from patterned paper. I pieced these together and adhered them to solid cardstock cut with one of the dies from 51-053 A Pocket Full, which I had heat embossed with a sentiment from
30-246 Remember This. I attached the panel to a dry-embossed card base.
I shared my Poppystamps project using the new Woodland Fawn die in this post. I couldn’t resist playing with the die some more, pairing it with another die from the brand-new collection of 74 dies and 20 cling stamps.
The diamond background is subtle but makes the card so elegant. I carefully adhered the background to a cardstock base with Glossy Accents, placing a drop on each of the diamond points and along the edge.
For the center “ornament” I placed the fawn die inside a circle die, using washi tape to keep them together, and cut Juniper cardstock. I then adhered the metallic fawn, which I’d cut separately, inside the circle, adding its scarf to the top.
You have until September 20th to comment on all of the new release aka “blog blitz” posts on the Poppystamps blog to win a die or stamp. I’ll be back tomorrow with another new release project that I’ll be sharing on the Poppystamps blog.
