Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card created with an older Hero Arts rubber stamp – Winter Trees. I bought the stamp five years ago and had only used it once.
I stamped the Hero Arts Winter Trees image with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink on my MISTI. (I think it would be fun to stamp in a number of different Distress Oxide ink colors.) I heat-embossed the Hero Arts Christmas Messages sentiment (my most used this season) with silver embossing powder.
Hello. Today, I am sharing a CAS holiday scene created with Lawn Fawn supplies. I had in mind a town in the American Southwest (think Taos or Santa Fe) while making my card, hence the mountain background.
All of the colored cardstock is from Memory Box. I used the last of my red for the Village Border. I cut the Stitched Hillside Backdrop Landscape before stamping it with one of the sentiments in Merry Messages on the MISTI. I added a snowbank on the left-hand side to cover up the section of the Village Border, which would have been exposed.
I haven’t participated in a Lawn Fawn challenge in a long time, but checked out the one which just started and decided to join in!

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card created for Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #269 – a color challenge.
I created the background from Stampin Up Gumball Green (retired) cardstock, stamped with the Hero Arts Candy Stripe Bold Prints stamp in VersaMark ink. I used a Lil’ Inker square die set to cut it. I stamped the Hero Arts Winter Wishes sentiment on white cardstock, which I cut with one of the My Favorite Things Snow Drifts dies and a circle die.
I stamped Stampin’ Up Melon Mambo cardstock with a now retired Hero Arts background stamp (whose name I have searched for and been unable to find) in Taylored Expressions Sugar Cube ink, and cut it with the mitten dies from the My Favorite Things Warm & Fuzzy set. The background circle was cut from SU Soft Sky. To finish the scene, I added one of the Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes.
I like color challenges a lot. I would have never combined these colors otherwise.
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS holiday card showcasing the Taylored Expressions Sky High – Airplane die set. I am envisioning Santa using modern technology to deliver his packages!
I used the Santa’s hat from the On the Line North Pole Cutting Plate and added it to the aviator’s head. The evergreen trees and snow bank in the background are cut with the On the Line North Pole Cutting Plate from glitter cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the From the North Pole set. The die-cut packages were created with the All Wrapped Up set.
I have already started to envision using the airplane someway in a Valentine’s Day card.

Hello! Today, I am sharing two versions of the same masculine CAS design using positive and negative die cuts.
I used the We R Memory Keepers – Antlers die (retired) to cut red cardstock stamped with the Hero Arts Tartan background stamp (retired). I recently rediscovered these items in my stash while brainstorming card designs.
For the card using the antler positive die-cut, the base is Neenah Desert Storm cardstock cut with the Stitched Woodgrain backdrop. The sentiment is from the Stampin’ Up Cheerful Tags (retired) set.
I originally had no plans for using the antler negative. After several days, I realized I could make a similar card, just varying the supplies a bit.
I used the Neenah Desert Storm cardstock cut with the Stitched Woodgrain backdrop behind the die-cut antler shape. I used one of the My Favorite Things Snow Globe Sentiments, which was cut with a die in the Hero Arts Frame Cuts F (retired) set.
