Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m sharing some exciting news today – I am one of the new members of the Poppystamps Design Team!
Poppystamps is a division of Memory Box, who you probably already know for their high-quality dies and stamps. Our team will be regularly posting creations on the Poppystamps blog. You’ll want to head on over to meet the rest of the Poppystamps Design Team.
I’m sharing a card created with Lorelai Leaf, Lorelai Leaf Outline, and a Memory Box stamp, which I masked except for the “hello.”
Today I’m sharing my CASE of Stephanie Klauck’s card from the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2.
I made some changes in terms of product to the ones that Stephanie used. The lesson was focused on using Christmas supplies for non-Christmas cards. I didn’t own some of the specific items, so used products that I do own. Stephanie’s card was more elaborate than mine!
I had a calamity of errors (or is it comedy?), but tried to shake them off as I went along. I have really struggled with the two shades of green in this week’s color scheme for unknown reasons, since I like the color green. I colored the wood veneer bird several ways, including with acrylic paint. I had the painted bird adhered to my card, ready to photograph, and then decided I liked the bird stained with Distress Ink and coated with Glossy Accents better!

Today I CASEd the card shared by Julie Ebersole in Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2.
Like Julie, I used a combination of patterned papers from the Studio Calico Sundrifter Collection. I added a bit of twine to the sentiment strip and dry embossed a natural-flecked cardstock for some texture. I found working with the combination of patterned papers to be a bit of a challenge. I followed Julie’s suggestion to take a photo of the elements you have chosen on the card before adhering them.
Unfortunately, the yellow-green feather paper isn’t showing up well in the photo. The paper has more “oomph” in real life.
Wow this week has flown by! It’s already Day Four of the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2 class. My card is based on one shared by Marion Vagg.
I guess I like using pastel colors more than I realized! To simplify this card, I used patterned papers from the Studio Calico Sundrifter paper pack. The die cuts are Lorelai Leaf from poppystamps and Moonlight Butterfly from Memory Box. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant Water Blooms.
