Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello and Merry Christmas! I’m sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Penny Black supplies.
I die-cut the 51-280 Ornamental Birds from gold foil and placed them on a watercolored circle background. I cut equal strips of grey cardstock for the card base background. I heat-embossed the 30-387 Festive Snippets sentiment with gold powder on one of the bands.
Hello! I’m sharing a CAS holiday card created with Penny Black supplies.
I colored the watercolor paper background with inks and watercolor paint using the smooshing technique. Separately, I colored watercolor paper with red watercolor, from which I cut the birds using the 51-206 The Sweetest Sound II die. Once the background was dry, I stamped the 30-382 Yuletide Wishes sentiment. For texture and visual interest, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-268 A Blizzard die set.
Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays!
Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS Christmas card created with Penny Black supplies. I chose a sentiment from 30-382 Yuletide Wishes as my starting point. I wanted to create a serene winter scene.
I stamped the bottom of the card base with silver ink using one of the stamps in the 30-258 Prancers set. I cut 51-264 Conifer twice and adhered the trees together, fluffing up the top tree for dimension. The star die in the 51-088 Tiny Tree set was used to cut a silver foil star for the top of the tree. I cut the deer from silver foil with one of the dies in the 51-069 Together set and added it to the scene with foam adhesive.

I stamped the pair of cats from 30-317 Deck the Halls with Versafine ink and colored the image with watercolor pencils and Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors.
I cut the 51-084 Jingle… sentiment from watercolor cardstock which I had colored with the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors and adhered to the watercolored panel.
Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS winter scene created with Penny Black supplies.
I Distress-Inked the background panel with Blueprint, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet, and Milled Lavender. Once dry, I heat-embossed the Santa and reindeer from the 40-406 Snow Dasher set with silver embossing powder.
I die cut 51-156 Tiny Town and backed the openings with silver foil. I finished off the card with a stamped sentiment from the 30-259 Wonderful & Jolly set.
I hope you’ll head over to the Penny Black Simplicity blog where I recently shared this winter-themed card using the same Distress Ink colors.
