Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
It’s been raining all week and I’m drawn to some bright colors at the moment! Yay for rainbows!
After stamping several of the stamps from Positive Strokes, I die cut the hello, from the Quote Tag set, out of the rainbow panel. I attached the panel and that little bit of the “e” onto a charcoal card base.
I’m entering my card in this week’s Paper Smooches Spark Challenge – “Anything Goes.”
Have a fantastic weekend – and may the sun shine wherever you are!
Supplies:
Today, I’m sharing a CAS card, suited for any occasion, crafted with some of the new goodies from the Penny Black “Happy Everything” release.
I die cut the feather from the feather & frames [#51-039] set in a variety of blue and gray cardstock colors and paired them with a heat embossed sentiment from the kind words [#30-226] set. The feathers are adhered to the card base with dimensional adhesive.
Today I’m sharing a Spring-themed card. I couldn’t resist combining bunnies from the recent Poppystamps Release cut out of a variety of pastel cardstock.
I finished off the card front with hand-drawn stitching. I really like how the colors pop out against the kraft. This card would work equally well with a “Happy Easter” or “Hello Spring” sentiment inside.
Supplies:
Today, I’m sharing an encouragement card that combines two recently-released Mama Elephant stamp sets – “Honey Bunny” and “True Friend.”
I paper-pieced the bunny pair (blue and pink for boy and girl), and they sat on my work table overnight. I kept wondering how to anchor them to the card base without them getting lost. After resting on the problem, I decided to use the Poppystamps window showing a gray, rainy day as a metaphor for a “tough time” that the bunnies would be handling together. The “True Friend” set is fabulous, and I can see using those sentiments, both paired and alone, on a lot of future projects. For the raindrops, I used the stencil I recently created cutting the Crafter’s Workshop Blank Stencil material with the Memory Box “A Little Rain” die (I also used the stencil on this card).
Supplies: Studio Calico patterned paper
I’m sharing a card created with two dies from the newest Poppystamps release – Baby Kittens and Bijou Film Strip.
I added four of the five kittens from the Baby Kittens die to a panel that I adhered behind the film strip. I created the yarn ball from baker’s twine and completed the card with a sentiment I created on my computer.
