Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Playing along with colourQ #264 challenge which is another perfect color combination for a Halloween card.
I combined die cuts from the Penny Blacks sets – 51-077 eeek! (the sentiment), 51-073 haunted hollow (the house) and 51-076 spider’s internet (the spider webs) for my CAS card.
Today, I’m sharing a holiday card using the Penny Black 51-089 Tree of Joy word art die.
I cut the Tree of Joy out of a brushed silver cardstock and inlaid it into a square red cardstock panel. I secured the inlaid pieces on the back with tape. The panel was adhered to a white cardstock panel that I had misted with silver spray using the Penny Black 25-009 Snow Dance stencil. The card base, measuring 5 1/4″ is also brushed silver cardstock.
Today I’m sharing a card created for the Merry Monday Challenge. The theme this week is Silent Night.
I was drawn to the lovely scene of houses in the woods. I decided to make just one house red (Home & Hearth by Ellen Hutson) so as not to overpower the tranquility of the scene. I used Lawn Fawn stitched hills for the snowbanks.
I really enjoy crafting to themes like this, especially during the holidays. There’s some great inspiration from the DT over at Merry Monday.
Supplies: Penny Black 30-257 Joy Filled
Today, I’m sharing a just-for-fun card depicting a typical scene in my neck of the woods, with some artistic license, of course! We’re surrounded by beautiful pine/fir/cedar forest and a scene with a blue sky, evergreen background, and a picket fence isn’t uncommon.
I stylized this scene with a black cat and pumpkins!
I cut everything twice and attached the two layers with the 2-Way Glue Pen. I also used dimensional adhesive on the cat and a few of the pumpkins to create even more depth. Hope you’re having a wonderful fall (or perhaps spring?) day!
Supplies: Stampin’ Up sentiment; Stampin’ Up Baked Brown Sugar cardstock; Stampin’ Up dimensional adhesive; Impression Obsession dies: Fir Tree Border, Pumpkin Patch, Picket Fence, Cat Set, Clouds
I’m over in the CLASSroom at Ellen Hutson this weekend with a review of sequins and a Shaker Card tutorial. I hope you’ll take a look!
