Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today I’m sharing a holiday card with Penny Black’s 51-070 The Gift die as the focal point.
I die cut the bird from a gold foil paper. The background was created by stamping the musical notes from the 30-238 Footnotes set on vellum.
I heat embossed the “Seasons Greetings” sentiment from the 30-255 Most Wonderful set with gold embossing powder on a card panel, which I cut with a circle die to expose the musical notes behind.
Today I’m sharing a winter-themed card crafted using the newly-released Poppystamps Snow Flocked Tree die.
To create the winter scene, I paired the Snow Flocked Tree with a snowy backdrop, which was cut using the Pine Tree Border. For some color, I added Santa’s Magic Sleigh in the foreground.
The Snow Flocked Tree was cut and then dry embossed giving it the flocked detail.
Today I’m sharing a card created with Penny Black stamps from the just-released Season’s Greetings collection.
To begin, I stamped and heat-embossed the 40-341 Adorned With Love stamp with gold embossing powder on vellum. I die cut holiday red cardstock, that I stamped and heat embossed with a sentiment from the 30-257 Joy Filled set. To finish, I attached the vellum to the die-cut panel and attached the panel to a white card base.
Today, I’m sharing a Poppystamps card in which I’ve paired a die from the new release with one of my favorites in the Poppystamps collection.
To begin, I cut the Magnificent Merry out of brushed silver cardstock. I then cut the Fremont Pine Landscape out of white cardstock. Next I die cut the Merry out of the Fremont Pine Landscape panel and carefully replaced it with the brushed silver one, making sure to include the pieces in the “m” and “e” when I did so. I trimmed the panel to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and attached it to a precut sky blue panel, adhering the scene to my card base.
I’ve been playing with the new Penny Black Krafty Kats release, and today, I’m sharing a holiday tag created with one of the images from the 30-241 Good Day! stamp set.
This particular image could also be used for a birthday tag (with different colors on the wrapping paper and ribbon). I stamped and heat embossed the image on watercolor paper and colored it with a combination of watercolor pencils and Distress Inks. I die cut the image with the large die tag from the 51-007 Tagged and then added the “Merry” sentiment, die cut from the Love & Joy [#51-021] set. To finish off the tag, I stamped the “For You” from Blooming Tags [#30-228] on a small punched tag.
