Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I have been attempting to be more mindful on stamp purchases this season, and to that end, I have been going through supplies I already own before purchasing new ones. I pulled out the Tim Holtz Mini Holidays 5 set to create a CAS and traditional Christmas card that took just minutes to create.
Bonus – I used patterned paper from my enormous stash!
Supplies:
Hello! Today, I am back with another ten-minute CAS Christmas card. I recently shared a card with the same design here. This time, I created my background with the Echo Park Winter Pines stencil (discontinued) and changed the sentiment to “FA LA LA.”
To begin, I stenciled the background on to Stampin’ Up cardstock. While the background dried, (technically this card took longer than ten minutes since the background had to dry), I cut the sentiment with the Lawn Fawn Cole’s ABCs die set from red cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to a rectangle cut with a die in the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set.
Best wishes for a terrific week. Mine is full of grocery shopping, cooking, and baking, given the Thanksgiving holiday!

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with items from the Tim Holtz Stamptember Stamps and Stencils set. I fell in love with this sentiment the moment I saw it!
To create the ornament, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment on vellum, which I had backed with double-sided adhesive. I cut the heat-embossed vellum with a circle die and added the ornament top and string, which had been cut from silver foil.
I used the tree stencil from the Tim Holtz set to create the background. I added some Lawn Fawn Mini Snowflakes to complete the scene.

Hello! Today, I am delighted to share a CAS Christmas card created with the Spellbinders Poinsettia die set, part of the Charming Christmas Collection by Becca Feeken. This is my second card using this set, see my first card here.
To begin, I stamped Whip Cream cardstock with light gray ink using the Vintage Notes Stamp. The effect is subtle. I cut the poinsettia blossoms from the stamped white cardstock and the leaves from silver foil. I assembled the blooms using a silver brad.
I heat-embossed one of the Charming Tag Sentiments on a Candy Apple card base, which had been cut with a die in the Vintage Stitched Squares set. To finish off the card, I added Holiday Sparkles Gems.

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card that took almost no time to create.
The card base was stamped with the Taylored Expressions Buffalo Plaid background stamp. I cut the sentiment from glitter cardstock with the Lawn Fun Alpha dies and adhered the letters to a rectangle cut with one of the Small Stitched Rectangle Stacklets. The sentiment panel was attached to the background with foam adhesive squares.
I like this card’s “on trend” background with a little bit of bling from the glitter cardstock.
