Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today I’m sharing a card for the occasion on which you need to say “Sorry”! The Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set is one I grab as soon as the sun is out! So many great images.
I stamped and colored the crabs with Copic markers, and then I cut them out with their corresponding die. The background was dry embossed with the Tim Holtz Waves folder. I used twine to finish it off.
I created a CAS Thank You card created with die cuts for the ColourQ #292 Challenge.
I cut the letters with the Lawn Cuts alphabet dies and placed them onto the colored squares, cut with one of the smaller square dies in a Spellbinders Nestabilities set. I cut the letters from all four of the colors and played around with combinations of letters and squares until choosing this one. The stitched rectangle was cut with a Lil’ Inker die.

In honor of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, I’m sharing a card created with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies celebrating camping!
I stamped the trees on the card base with the Memento Peanut Brittle ink for a tone-on-tone look. The sentiment from the Happy Trails stamp set was heat-embossed. I cut the Forest Border and then cut it again with the Tag die, adhering the trees to the sky, also cut with the Tag die. I stamped and Copic-colored the car and camper from the Happy Trails stamp set, cutting them out with their coordinating dies.

Today, I’m sharing a “just because” card inspired by the recent sunny days here in the PNW! I try to never take a sunny day for granted.
I combined several Lawn Fawn die cuts with a sailboat from the Float My Boat set. I had intended to Copic color the boat, but once I had the cardstock pieces laid out, I thought it would look better if the sails on the boat were cardstock as well. So I stamped the boat on red cardstock and fussy cut the sails. The sentiment is from the Life is Good set.

Today I’m sharing a card created for the Merry Monday Challenge. The theme this week is Silent Night.
I was drawn to the lovely scene of houses in the woods. I decided to make just one house red (Home & Hearth by Ellen Hutson) so as not to overpower the tranquility of the scene. I used Lawn Fawn stitched hills for the snowbanks.
I really enjoy crafting to themes like this, especially during the holidays. There’s some great inspiration from the DT over at Merry Monday.
