Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a “just because” summer-themed CAS card.
I haven’t seen a lady bug in years, but fondly remember seeing them as a child! I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts “Heyday Sentiments” set on the rectangular cardstock panel and then adhered the die cut leaves and lady bugs.
Supplies:
Today I’m sharing a CAS “just because” card inspired by the Pacific Northwest summer. There’s nothing like a sunny day on the Puget Sound!
The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Good Friends set (I’ve had this set for several years and really like the typeface of the sentiments). I first stamped it in black ink, but that seemed too harsh with the other colors, so I stamped it in white pigment ink. After I finished the card, I thought it needed a little something, so I added some May Arts twine to soften the bottom of the image.
Supplies:
I’m playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #128 for which my starting point was patterned papers from the recently released Echo Park Homegrown Collection.
After establishing a garden theme, I used the Memory Box die to cut a watering can, which I filled with flowers cut with punches and dies in my stash. The Hero Arts sentiment, which I heat embossed, is from a set whose fonts I especially like.
Supplies:
Today I’m playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches #162 challenge.
For my card, I flipped the sketch horizontally because of the sledder’s orientation. I didn’t want him sledding so close to the card edge!
I cut the MFT slope twice and lined it up on the focal panel and on the panel behind. The sledder was cut twice, once in silver foil and again in cardstock for extra dimension.
Supplies: Hero Arts Joy to All (sentiment); Echo Park patterned paper; Impression Obsession Sled; MFT Snow Drifts Dienamics; Dienamics Blueprint 1
I’m delighted to be guest designing over at Merry Monday Christmas Challenge today! The challenge? Use Neon Colors on your Christmas card.
For my card, I pulled out a Hero Arts Neon ink sampler and all of my snowflake stamps testing several combinations. I combined stamps from an old Hero Arts set as well as a Paper Smooches set.
To finish, I dry embossed the card base and added a few snowflake sequins.
