Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! I’m sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card featuring Taylored Expressions products.
I paired the On the Road – Beetle (in red of course!) with a background created with the Cloud Nine Background. The sentiment is from the Go Beep set. While this card doesn’t scream masculine, it certainly could be sent to a guy.

Hello! I’m sharing a CAS winter-themed, Valentine’s Day card created with Penny Black dies.
I used the 51-281 What’s in Your Cup? die set to cut the mugs, tea bag, steam and foam, and colored the pieces with Distress Inks. I added a sentiment cut with 51-284 Filled With Love. I cut the sentiment twice for extra depth. The mugs were added to the background with foam adhesive.
Hello! I’m sharing a spring-themed card created with Avery Elle stamps and dies. It’s been cold and wintry here in the Pacific Northwest, so a little spring color appealed to me!
I stamped the various critters from Woodland Wonders and colored them with Copic markers. I used components from the Tree die set to create the tree, which I dry-embossed with a Stampin’ Up embossing folder. I curved the sentiment to fit one of the banner dies in the Pierced Banner Layers set. When I was finished assembling the scene, I felt there was too much blank sky, so I tucked in clouds cut with the Lawn Fawn Simple Puffy Cloud Frames set.

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions January 2017 Release! All of the products that we have been sharing this week are now available in the TE store!
Before you head off to shop, I’ve got two more projects to share! My first showcases the Rainbow Cutting Plate.
I love bright colors! To create the rainbow, I used the die to cut the frame from Sugar Cube cardstock and then from each of the rainbow colors. As I cut each color, I added the arcs to the frame from the back and secured the pieces with tape. I stamped the sentiment and cut it with the larger die in the Stitched Cloud Duo set. To finish out the scene, I added boots and an umbrella, as well as a background created with this release’s Cloud Nine Background stamp.

My final project combines Let’s Talk Edger 3 with the Hello Script die.
The Let’s Talk Edger 3 is open-ended, making it possible to cut any number of different talk bubbles. I cut the “hello” from cardstock, as well as from foam, adhering the two together for a little extra depth. I added the sentiment from Give me a Sign. The Elephant Parade was added to a background dry-embossed with the Kaleidoscope folder.
