Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card created with the Lawn Fawn Critter Concert stamp and die set.
I have had this cute fox stamped and colored for over a month, along with other images from the same set. I decided to let the fox give a solo performance paired with the Puffy Star dies from Lawn Fawn.
The patterned papers are from an Echo Park paper pad. Navy blue and orange are one of my favorite fall color combinations.
Hello! I love Halloween and with fall in the air here in the PNW, I am happily preparing for the event (getting out my various Halloween-themed crafting supplies). I pulled out two Revere Confetti stamp sets to create a CAS one-layer Halloween card.
The sentiment is from the Spooky Sentiments set and the witch’s boots are from the Spooky Cuties set (both are now retired). I stamped the boots with Hero Arts black dye ink and the sentiment with Stampin’ Up Pumpkin Pie ink. Without a stamp positioner, I would never have been able to make this card!
Hello! I recently created a set of watercolor notecards, which were featured on the Taylored Expressions blog. I had a lot of leftover smooshed watercolor cardstock from which I cut flowers and greenery for a die-cut scene.
I created the scene using the Garden Arbor and Gate, the Arbor Fence, Bloomers Greenery, Mini Bloomers, and Mini Bloomers 2 dies.
I stamped a sentiment from the Simply Stamped – Wreath set on to a background brushed with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink.
Hello! I am back crafting after a break to the Mojave Desert to visit family. Today, I am sharing a birthday card created with the Swirl Happy Birthday Frame, part of the Blooming Garden Collection by Marisa Job at Spellbinders. I previously shared a card created with another die from this collection here.
The Swirl Happy Birthday Frame set includes the birthday sentiment, the background swirl panel, and a die to cut a rectangle which fits inside the background swirl. I used the dies to cut white cardstock with the swirl designs.
I cut both the sentiment swirl and the background swirl twice to create depth. I initially cut the sentiment from gold foil and from black cardstock, but after playing with a variety of patterned papers for the card base and the rectangular panel, the most elegant and striking combination was the one using the white cardstock. I wanted the swirls to take center stage!
Hello! I recently created four cards for the Spellbinders blog using products from the Special Moments Collection by Marisa Job.
The projects were shared over on the Spellbinders blog here, here, and here. Head over to the blog posts for more details.
