Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
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!

The wait is over! REVERSE CONFETTI has just released SIX stamp sets, EIGHT Confetti Cuts and Quick Card Panels!! There’s something for everyone in this release – whether you’re working on Valentine’s Day cards, putting together classroom or party treats, documenting your everyday or special days with scrapbooking, …
To begin, I’m sharing a Valentine’s Day card that combines several of the newly released Pretty Panels – Heart Love and Big Chevron.
Next, here are Pocket Scrapbooking pages using Here’s the Story, Right Here Right Now and the Documented Confetti cuts.
I used the round-corner rectangle die in Documented to cut out journaling cards and photographs. I printed my journaling onto cardstock and then stamped the lines, from the Right Here Right Now set. For some variety, I heat-embossed one of the sentiments from Here’s the Story and added it to the journaling card. (As an alternative, I could have simply stamped the sentiment and the lines on a card and hand-written my journaling.) For the embellishment in the lower photo, I cut an arrow with Documented and added “love” from the Heart Love Pretty Panel.
For the card in the upper-left, I heat-embossed the “Today” from Right Here Right Now. The cut out heart embellishment (bottom photo) was created with the Love Note heart die and a die in the Class Act set.
To embellish the quote card, I used the arrow in Documented topped with the stamped “on this date” from Right Here Right Now.
