Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today I’m sharing a birthday card created with Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.
I stamped the lion from Leaping Lions, along with the party hat and presents from Monkey Business with Memento ink and colored the images with Copic markers. I used the corresponding Confetti Cuts to cut them and adhered them to a dry-embossed panel with dimensional adhesive. I heat embossed a sentiment from Fancy Word Coordinates on black cardstock and finished the card with rainbow patterned paper and twine.
Today I’m sharing a card for the occasion on which you need to say “Sorry”! The Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set is one I grab as soon as the sun is out! So many great images.
I stamped and colored the crabs with Copic markers, and then I cut them out with their corresponding die. The background was dry embossed with the Tim Holtz Waves folder. I used twine to finish it off.
I’ve been continuing to practice my Copic coloring. This card features one of the adorable images from the Avery Elle Furry Friends set.
After trying several combinations of Copic markers in shades of brown, I was happiest with the technique in which you start with the Colorless Blender and then add color. It gives a softer look to the colored image. I cut the image with its corresponding die. I heat embossed the sentiment from the same Furry Friends set on brown cardstock, then cutting it with the largest tag die from the Gift Tags set. The patterned paper is from an older Studio Calico pad.
For those of you in the US, have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! 2015 seems to be flying by!
In honor of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, I’m sharing a card created with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies celebrating camping!
I stamped the trees on the card base with the Memento Peanut Brittle ink for a tone-on-tone look. The sentiment from the Happy Trails stamp set was heat-embossed. I cut the Forest Border and then cut it again with the Tag die, adhering the trees to the sky, also cut with the Tag die. I stamped and Copic-colored the car and camper from the Happy Trails stamp set, cutting them out with their coordinating dies.

Today, I’m sharing a card created for the Retrosketches Challenge featuring the Avery Elle Red & Goldie stamp set, with coordinating Elle-ments dies.
This past weekend, I was able to spend time practicing my Copic coloring (using the lessons from the Online Card Classes Copic Markers class). I’ve had the Avery Elle Red & Goldie set in my collection for a while, and the images are just adorable. I created the speech bubble on my Silhouette intending to stamp a sentiment on it, but then decided to go bold with the die cut Thank You.
