Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, summer-themed, friendship card which I am entering into the Freshly Made Sketches 336 challenge.
This card combines my fondness for die-cuts and for patterned paper.
It took awhile to come up with a combination of papers that would allow the white chair to stand out and support the theme. I cut the chair and flip flops with the Impression Obsession Single Beach Chair die. The sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink Flipping Out stamp set.
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, Southwest-themed, apology card combining a variety of Taylored Expressions supplies.
Here’s how I created the card: I cut Sugar Cube cardstock with the largest die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets and applied Dreamweaver Embossing Paste through the Chevron Arrow Stencil. I set the panel with wet embossing paste aside to dry. I cut the cactus and their containers with dies in the Sitting Pretty Accessories set from Sugar Cube cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers. I like the look that coloring with Copic markers gives to die-cuts, especially for the variation it provides. I assembled the plants and containers.
I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from the Lookin’ Sharp Stamp & Die Combo set on Poppy Seed cardstock with TE Fine Detail White Embossing Powder. Once the stenciled panel was dry, I added the sentiment and cacti to the panel with foam adhesive. The card base was created from Toffee cardstock.

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS punny card, which I have had sitting out on my work table for a couple of days and just needed to assemble, featuring the Simon Says Stamp Picture Book Love Bear.
I paired the bear with die-cut bees, created with an older Memory Box die set, with an appropriate sentiment from the Messages for Everyday stamp set, which I heat-embossed on a strip of Black Licorice cardstock.
The background is cut from Sea Glass cardstock with a Lil’ Inker square die. It is a blue that works well with kraft cardstock, and I will be stocking up on this shade given how much I like to build scenes with blue skies.
Hello! Today, I am sharing a card combining die-cuts from the Marianne Design Eline’s Chicken Family set with a sentiment in the Technique Tuesday Chicken Family stamp set. This card also combines the design element of color with the die-cut technique (two of my favorite things when it comes to card making).
For the card background, I applied Tumbled Glass ink to Neenah cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Ranger black ink. To create the chickens, I grabbed a bunch of Stampin’ Up cardstock colors and cut them with the Eline’s Chicken Family die set until I liked the combinations (I tried several different yellows, oranges, and reds before deciding).
Hello! Today I am sharing two cards created with Taylored Expressions supplies using sketches from Card Maps.
My first card features the Seas the Day stamp set sentiment paired with the Little Bits – Sailboat die cut for a nautical-themed card using a square sketch.
Here is the sketch I used:
For the card base, I stamped the Striped Background with Sprinkles ink on Sugar Cube cardstock. I stamped the Seas the Day sentiment in Blue Corn ink on a square cut from Sugar Cube cardstock. I cut the Little Bits – Sailboat from Cherry Pop, Earl Grey, and Sugar Cube cardstock and assembled it. I cut two squares from Blue Corn cardstock and dry-embossed them with the On the Spot embossing folder for the ocean water. I dry-embossed the Sugar Cube cardstock square on the right with the Cloudy Days embossing folder. I added fish cut with the On the Water – Fishing Boat set from Lemon Meringue cardstock to the water for a bit of color.
My second card combines several different Blooms die sets with a sentiment from the Laurels stamp set.
Here is the horizontal sketch I used:
I stamped the Laurels sentiment in Lollipop ink on Sugar Cube cardstock and cut it with one of the Stitched Circle Stacklets dies. I cut two additional circles with the same die. I cut the flowers with the Mini Bloomers, Mini Bloomers 2, Bloomers 5, and Bloomers 6 die sets from Strawberry Milkshake, Lollipop, and Lemon Meringue cardstock and assembled them. I cut the rectangle panel from patterned paper in the Playful Patterns – Sweet package and added scallop edges cut with the Postage Stamp Edger die from Strawberry Milkshake cardstock. I added the assembled panel to a card base covered with patterned paper from the Playful Patterns – Sweet package.
