Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello ‘Fetti Fans! Here’s a sneak at my card featured in today’s Reverse Confetti Newsletter.
The newsletter has a new feature in which cards are featured along with the inspiration for the projects. I was inspired by an Orla Kiely mug – her patterns and colors are fabulous!

Today I’m sharing a CAS birthday card created with Reverse Confetti products using the colors from ColourQ #280.
Looking at the colors in the challenge, I knew I’d want to heat emboss the sentiment in gold and use the paler purple for the card base. I cut several strands of the Circle Garland in the deeper, richer colors. I like the abstract aspect of the garland – like lights in a distance. This color palette has a celebratory feel to me!
Have you seen this month’s SFYTT at Reverse Confetti?
I created a CAS card with the plane from Here We Go Confetti Cuts as the focal point.
I cut the plane within the Class Act rectangle so that the plane would be a negative image. I added the die-cut propeller on top. I stamped the larger rectangle, cut with Documented, with a sentiment from Arrows ‘n Elements in gray ink to match the card base. The yellow stars were cut with Oh My Stars.
I hope you’ll play along! Head on over to link up your card on the Reverse Confetti Blog for your chance to win a $20 Reverse Confetti gift certificate and the title of ‘Fetti Fave!
A final Valentine’s Day card for 2015!
I stamped Penny Black’s 40-190 Bed of Roses with white pigment ink on black cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment from the 30-207 From the Heart set and cut it with the smaller tag from the 51-007 Tagged die set. I cut the tag reinforcement piece from black cardstock. I attached the tag onto the rose background with dimensional adhesive and used baker’s twine to finish off the card.
Next stop – St Patrick’s Day!
I’m playing along with ColourQ Challenge #279 – red, black, newsprint and a neutral. While my card isn’t specifically Valentine’s Day themed, it works well as a friendship card and could still work as a Valentine.
I wanted to add a border around the newsprint so that the off-white of the newsprint wouldn’t rest directly against the white card base. The black border also ties in the umbrella handle and the boots.
