Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today I’m sharing a Halloween card created with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.
I Copic-colored the adorable raccoon from Lawn Fawn Holiday Party Animal and placed him in a scene created with the just-released Stitched Tree Borders. I added a sentiment from Happy Howloween which I cut with one of the dies in the Everyday Sentiment Banners set.

Hello! Late August signals back-to-school, and I’ve been seeing lots of posts about first days of school and sons and daughters headed to college. Our youngest son left for college this time of year five years ago (time really doesn’t fly!). He’s finished with college now, so we don’t have any back-to-schoolers in the house. That doesn’t mean I can’t remember what those transitions felt like, and with that type of transition in mind, I created this card with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.
The Mom + Me set was released for Mother’s Day; I repurposed the owl with her owlet as a card for a son or daughter (perfect, really, for just about any time!). I kept the colors gender neutral (and sort of outdoorsy).

Hello! Today, I’m sharing two faith-based projects created with Taylored Expressions products (supplies are listed below each project).
My first project showcases the Shade Tree Cutting Plate which I crafted with fall colors.
I cut Woodgrain Textured Cardstock Pack with the Shade Tree Cutting Plate and embellished it with leaves cut from the TE 6×6 Paper Pack – Playful Patterns – Haunted (the polka-dot patterns in this pack are perfect for autumn) with the On a Limb – Leaves die. I added a sentiment from the Shade Tree Scripture set stamped with the TE Premium Ink – Chocolate Truffle – Full Pad ink.

For my second project, I created a bookmark combining the Build a Bookmark set with a sentiment from the In the Word set.
I stamped the sun and sentiment from In the Word, cut the cardstock with the bookmark die and embellished with the die-cuts. I used the Mark Your Spot Bookmark die to cut another slightly larger bookmark from the Cookie Monster cardstock.

Hello! Welcome to Day 3 of the Taylored Expressions August Sneak Peeks. Today, I’m sharing a fall-themed card featuring the Roly Poly – Owl. The August products we’ve been sneaking will be released tomorrow – Thursday, August 4 @ 7 AM PST!
I used a combination of browns, including two from the Woodgrain Textured Cardstock Pack, for the Roly Poly – Owl. The feathers were cut with the On a Limb – Leaves set. I decorated the On a Limb – Branches with fall-colored leaves, also cut with the On a Limb – Leaves die. The Hoot Hoot Hooray stamp & die combo sentiment was stamped inside a Little Bits – Let’s Talk Bubble 1.

Today I’m sharing my last Halloween project for the year! I just love black cats and they seem particularly Halloweenish. On November 1, the fall and Halloween cards step aside for all things Thanksgiving and Christmas!
This is even more CAS than my usual cards! The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up.
Happy Halloween!
