Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today I’m sharing a fall-themed tag featuring the Taylored Expressions Little Bits Fox.
I combined the die cut fox with several favorite scene builders – the Lawn Fawn Grassy Border and Impression Obsession Beach Fence. The sentiment, from a retired Hero Arts set, was stamped on a Memory Box cloud.
Hope your week is off to a great start!

Have you seen this month’s Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti? I created a back-to-school card using the sketch as my starting point.
Here’s my take on the sketch, featuring a sentiment from My World and the Globe Confetti Cuts:
I cut both gray and red cardstock with the Globe Confetti Cuts and backed the globe with a circle cut from patterned paper (Echo Park’s Teacher’s Pet collection). The sentiment, apropos for a new school year (or any new undertaking), was stamped on patterned paper.
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!
I’m playing along with the Mojo Monday 414 Challenge with a CAS fall-themed card created with Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts.
To begin, I cut kraft and red cardstock with the Easy As Pie Confetti Cuts set (I cut both the pie top and bottom twice for added dimension). I heat-embossed a sentiment from Forever Fall on a die cut created with one of the dies in the Layered Banner Duo Confetti Cuts set. The apple patterned paper was cut with a die in the Documented Confetti Cuts set.
It’s Day One of the Countdown to Confetti at Reverse Confetti! Today, Reverse Confetti introduces Too Cute to Spook and Easy As Pie, both with coordinating Confetti Cuts, just in time for fall and Halloween paper crafting!
For my first project, I used one of the Fall Fun Quick Card Panels to frame the cat from Too Cute to Spook, which I heat-embossed on patterned paper and cut with its corresponding Confetti Cuts die. I colored in the nose, ears and stripes with a marker.
I added a heat-embossed sentiment from Spooky Sentiments cut with the banner in the Tag Me set, as well as some accessories from the Too Cute to Spook set.
For my next project, I created a fall-themed tag with the just-released Thanks Tag Confetti Cuts, along with the cat from Too Cute to Spook, the Easy As Pie Confetti Cuts and a coordinating sentiment.
I heat-embossed the sentiment and added the cat (heat-embossed on patterned paper and cut with its corresponding die) and pie to the tag. I created the hearts with the Shakers ‘n Frames Confetti Cuts set. I cut the top of the pie several times for dimension.
It’s September, and with that, we begin the fall season! I know that the equinox, marking the beginning of fall, isn’t until later in the month. But to me, the season has arrived, and after a summer drought, the leaves here in the Pacific Northwest are already turning gold and red. My CAS card features the 51-072 Autumn Jewels die cut set from Penny Black paired with a sentiment cut with word die in the 51-040 Hello Frame set.
I painted watercolor paper with Peerless watercolors. Once dry, I cut out the leaves with the Autumn Jewels dies. I cut the Hello out of brown cardstock three times for additional depth. For additonal interest and texture, I adhered the leaves and sentiment onto textured cardstock and added twine.
