Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m playing along with Freshly Made Sketches again this week. I had fun combining several Penny Black stamp sets for the focal image, adding patterned paper, a strip of dry embossed cardstock and metallic twine to finish off the card.
I heat-embossed stamped images from three Penny Black sets: the cute scene is from 30-266 Gleeful; the sentiment is from 30-257 Joy Filled; and the snowflake is from the 30-255 Most Wonderful set.
Today I’m sharing a card created for the Merry Monday Challenge. The theme this week is Silent Night.
I was drawn to the lovely scene of houses in the woods. I decided to make just one house red (Home & Hearth by Ellen Hutson) so as not to overpower the tranquility of the scene. I used Lawn Fawn stitched hills for the snowbanks.
I really enjoy crafting to themes like this, especially during the holidays. There’s some great inspiration from the DT over at Merry Monday.
Supplies: Penny Black 30-257 Joy Filled
I’m over in the CLASSroom at Ellen Hutson this weekend with a review of sequins and a Shaker Card tutorial. I hope you’ll take a look!
I am sharing another holiday card crafted with products from the Essentials by Ellen release designed by Julie Ebersole exclusively for Ellen Hutson LLC.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from the Brushstroke Christmas set, as well as the lights from the Tis the Season set. The stag was cut from both green and gold foil cardstock. I cut two layers for extra depth. The die cuts and stamps in this release work so well together!
Supplies: Essentials by Ellen Prize Stag die, Brushstroke Christmas and Tis the Season stamps; Ranger Super Fine Gold Embossing powder
I’m delighted to be guest designing over at Merry Monday Christmas Challenge today! The challenge? Use Neon Colors on your Christmas card.
For my card, I pulled out a Hero Arts Neon ink sampler and all of my snowflake stamps testing several combinations. I combined stamps from an old Hero Arts set as well as a Paper Smooches set.
To finish, I dry embossed the card base and added a few snowflake sequins.
