Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a “just because” holiday card playing on the Reverse Confetti sentiment -“Tidings of comfort & joy.”
I cut the donut bases with the large and small circles in the Donut You Know Confetti Cut set. Then I cut the icing tops with the icing die and small circle in holiday colors. I added heart sprinkles in red, green and white.
May your holiday week be filled with comfort and joy!
I’m playing along with the Curtain Call Candy Cane Challenge.
With the Christmas holiday just around the corner, I’m finding myself creating quick cards using my on-hand supplies.
I die cut white cardstock with the Lifestyle Crafts Antlers die allowing room below for a heat embossed Stampin’ Up sentiment. After adding the sentiment, I adhered the panel, cut with a rectangle die, over Candy Cane striped patterned paper. I then added the panel to a red cardstock base.
I also put together another quick card using a positive Antlers die cut. I cut some patterned paper for the background and added a square frame, cut with the largest die in the MFT Die-namics Square Frames set.
Off to do some last minute holiday shopping!
Today, I’m sharing a layout for which I created my own embellishments with Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, our family took a quick excursion to Victoria, BC. We’d traveled there twelve years ago at Thanksgiving time and had been wanting to return for quite a while. My husband and son were good sports and let me snap some photos for an 8 1/2″ x 11″ layout.
I used a sketch from Pagemaps for my layout.
I cut the white snowflakes with the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts and added them to patterned paper circles. I cut the evergreen and limbs with the Branch Out Confetti Cuts, also adding those to a patterned paper circle. I cut the Circle Garland three times, out of red patterned paper for some color. I cut the sentiment flag with the Tag Me banner and heat embossed it with one of the Seasonal Sentiments.
By using a coordinated set of patterned paper (Pebbles “Home for Christmas” collection) with the Reverse Confetti products, this layout came together quite quickly!
I’m playing along with this month’s Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti using a stamped sentiment and snowflakes from the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts set.
To create the inlaid snowflake circles, I ran the snowflake die (from the Let It Snow Confetti Cuts set) placed inside a circle die through my Big Shot. I repeated for each of the five colors. I then cut the snowflakes again out of silver foil paper. I removed the snowflakes from the colored circles, put some Scotch tape on the back and placed the silver foil snowflakes inside. I added a silver glitter strip to the card base to tie in the silver-and-sparkle theme. I also heat embossed the sentiment, from the Tinsel ‘N Trim set, with silver powder, and cut it with the Tag Me banner
Today I’m sharing another CAS holiday card created with Penny Black supplies. And again the Branching Out die cut takes center stage.
To begin, I stamped the background with 40-350 Tree-Lined on green cardstock in a green ink. The panel was trimmed and attached to a white cardstock panel.
By placing my acrylic plates and die on the cardstock to create a partial cut, I cut out the tree with the 51-081 Branching Out die. I then cut the sides of the snowbanks from the remaining cardstock. It took a couple of times to get this right!
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment (from the Penny Black 30-257 Joy Filled set).
Hope your week is off to a terrific start!
