Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #128 for which my starting point was patterned papers from the recently released Echo Park Homegrown Collection.
After establishing a garden theme, I used the Memory Box die to cut a watering can, which I filled with flowers cut with punches and dies in my stash. The Hero Arts sentiment, which I heat embossed, is from a set whose fonts I especially like.
Supplies:
Today, I’m sharing a CAS Father’s Day card created with a variety of items in my stash.
My youngest son is home this week between college terms, and he folded the origami shirt for me using an online tutorial with some scrapbook paper I’ve had for several years. I added a tie cut with the Penny Black Dapper [#51-049] die cut. (I trimmed the tie a bit and tucked it under the shirt collar.) The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up’s And Many More set.
Have you seen this month’s Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti?
Here’s my take on the sketch featuring a pineapple image from the Pineapples Aplenty set:
I stamped the pineapple and its leaves with Pineapples Aplenty and cut them with their corresponding Confetti Cuts. I used the Scalloped Circle and a circle die from Circles ‘n Scallops to create a background for the pineapple. The multi-colored polkadot panel and the black-and-white strip are both from the Pina Colada Quick Card Panels set. I stamped a sentiment with images from Sweet Thing and cut it out with a Layered Banner Duo die.

I’m playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #127 – another terrific and versatile sketch!
Here’s my take on the sketch:
I used Reverse Confetti’s Peacock Pretties to create a tone-on-tone pattern on blue and gray cardstock, which I the cut into squares with a Nestabilities die. I cut two anchors (for additional depth) with the Paper Smooches die. (I have several anchor dies; this one was the perfect size.) The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up’s Simply Wonderful set.
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.
