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.
Supplies:
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 a card crafted with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies. I imagined a scene in the Pacific Northwest while crafting the card.
I watched Kelly Marie’s intro video for the Dad + Me set to get ideas for Copic coloring the bears (I will now watch her coloring for every Lawn Fawn stamp, as it makes the process so much easier!). I used Taylored Expressions Cookie Monster ink for the lake.
I just love that bucket hat! My husband has a similar one (although it’s not teal :-)).

Today I’m sharing a playful “Hello” card showcasing some Paper Smooches supplies (now retired).
I die cut the Bees from several different cardstock colors. I cut the Dainty Flowers 2 from white cardstock and used just the outlines so that the emphasis would be on the colorful bees. The sentiment (a Savvy wood stamp I bought at Impress) was stamped on cardstock that I cut with the smallest die in the Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangles set. I used the largest die in that set to cut the woodgrain paper.
Today, I’m sharing a card created for Father’s Day using the color scheme from colourQ Challenge #346.
I used an older Lawn Fawn set – Dad’s Day.
After stamping the ties in the four ink colors, I added a heat-embossed sentiment, attached to the card panel with foam adhesive. I tried a number of different inks – both dye and pigment – while creating this card! I need to add a light blue pigment ink to my collection and get a reinker for my Fresh Inks navy pad. (My ink collection knows no bounds!)
Supplies: Fresh Inks gray + navy
