Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
A little sparkle and shine today with the Penny Black 51-062 Leap of Joy die cut taking center stage (again!). The deer is cut from a brushed gold cardstock. This has certainly been the “year of the deer”!
To the patterned paper card panel, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-066 Crystal Trio set (cut from gold and white glitter cardstock). I cut the Merry sentiment from the 51-021 Love & Joy set and attached it to a banner cut with the 51-027 Triple Banner set.
Today I’m sharing another CAS holiday card created with Penny Black supplies. And again the Branching Out die cut takes center stage.
To begin, I stamped the background with 40-350 Tree-Lined on green cardstock in a green ink. The panel was trimmed and attached to a white cardstock panel.
By placing my acrylic plates and die on the cardstock to create a partial cut, I cut out the tree with the 51-081 Branching Out die. I then cut the sides of the snowbanks from the remaining cardstock. It took a couple of times to get this right!
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment (from the Penny Black 30-257 Joy Filled set).
Hope your week is off to a terrific start!
Today I’m sharing a CAS holiday card created with Penny Black Creative Dies.
I cut the tree with 51-081 Branching Out die twice. I placed the tree on a grid of squares using a color combination featured on the Penny Black blog last year. (The combinations from the Color Christmas series are ones I will use again and again as they aren’t ones I would have come up with on my own.) Edited in 2024: I cannot find this series to reference it with a link. I added a sentiment, which was cut with the Peace die, from in the 51-021 Love & Joy set, three times for extra depth.
Hoping your holiday season is filled with Peace!
Using just two elements, a Creative Die and a transparent stamp set, I created a CAS card for the newly launched Penny Black SIMPLICITY at its best site.

To celebrate I created a CAS holiday card in one of my favorite color schemes with the 51-062 Leap of Joy die cut taking center stage. I stamped the background with a sentiment from 30-132 Yuletide Greetings.
