Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today I’m sharing a winter holiday card featuring Avery Elle’s Snow Much Fun set. I just love the moose (actually I’m in love with the entire set!) and played with perspective a bit by squeezing him into the gondola from the Snow Caps set!
I colored the moose with Copic markers, cut him with the coordinating die, and put him into the gondola. The gondola was cut from colored cardstock and white cardstock, with a layer of vellum behind the moose.
Supplies:

For my project, I used one of the ‘Tis the Season Quick Card Panels as a background for the reindeer and Santa from Jolly Holiday. I heat-embossed the stamp images on cardstock, which I colored with Copic markers and cut with their corresponding Confetti Cuts dies. I also heat-embossed the Ho Ho Ho conversation bubble and cut it with its companion die.
I used the Confetti Cuts to cut additional cardstock onto which I adhered the colored images and the speech bubble to give extra depth. I dry-embossed white cardstock for a snowy ground and finished the card with the Solid Peapod twine.

It’s Day One of the Countdown to Confetti at Reverse Confetti! Today, Reverse Confetti introduces the Winter Word Coordinates stamp set with Winter Words Confetti Cuts, just in time for holiday paper crafting!
For my CAS card, I used the Peace die from Winter Words Confetti Cuts and paired it with a wreath from the Wreaths Confetti Cuts set also being released this month.
I cut the Peace sentiment from gold foil paper. The wreath, flowers and bow were cut from paper which I’d watercolored with Distress Inks. The flowers are part of the Layered Snowflake Confetti Cuts being released and the bow is from the Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts set.
I placed a strip of vellum behind the Peace sentiment to give it a little more visibility.

The Day Six Online Card Classes Background Check lesson focused on card designs using backgrounds shown on Days Four and Five. I created a card using the Gap Background technique shown by Kristina Werner along with other “texture techniques.”
Using an embossing folder by Sizzix for Stampin’ Up, I dry embossed two ends of a card panel leaving a gap in between. Within the gap, I added the Avery Elle die cut sentiment (cut from foil and adhered to white cardstock) using dimensional adhesive. I wasn’t planning on making a holiday card, (and Kristina used completely different supplies for her sentiment), but the Season’s Greetings worked well for this technique.
Supplies:
A little sparkle and shine today with the Penny Black 51-062 Leap of Joy die cut taking center stage (again!). The deer is cut from a brushed gold cardstock. This has certainly been the “year of the deer”!
To the patterned paper card panel, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-066 Crystal Trio set (cut from gold and white glitter cardstock). I cut the Merry sentiment from the 51-021 Love & Joy set and attached it to a banner cut with the 51-027 Triple Banner set.
