Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Have you seen this month’s Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti?
I’m playing along with a floral arrangement stamped and cut with the recently-released Love Blooms stamp set and corresponding Confetti Cuts.
I heat-embossed the sentiment from Forever Fall on a banner cut with Tag Me, tucking that under my floral arrangement, stamped in colors to coordinate with the patterned-paper panel.
Today, I have a card to share for the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge where I’m a guest artist.
For my card, I paired die-cut stars with a heat-embossed Stampin’ Up sentiment.
I was inspired by the geometrical feeling of the crisscrossed “x” shapes. I cut the stars in three different shades of blue to create an ombré effect.
Be sure to visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see the Design Team inspiration and to play along!
Today I’m sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card combining Reverse Confetti die cuts and sentiment.
Using the Love Note Confetti Cuts set, I cut the heart strings in four different colors, two times each. I adhered the same-colored hearts together with 2-way glue and added them to the rounded rectangle cut with Documented, on which I’d stamped the sentiment from Crushin’. I adhered the rounded rectangle to a white card base.
Penny Black has recently released fabulous dies perfect for Valentine’s Day creations. I created a card with 51-100 Tree of Love as the centerpiece.
I cut the Tree of Love out of white, red and pink cardstock. With 2-way glue, I attached the pink and red hearts to the white hearts on the tree. The sentiment from Penny Black’s 51-093 Heartfelt was cut several times for additional depth. I added two birds, cut from gold paper with 51-094 Tweets, to the tree, attaching them with dimensional adhesive.
Today, I’m sharing a card created for two current challenges – Retrosketches #147 and ColourQ #274 – using Penny Black dies.
I’m enjoying fresh color combinations. We’ve got a heavy fog that hasn’t lifted for several days so I’m dreaming of someplace warm and colorful!
