Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a summery “hello” card pairing Penny Black’s 30-237 Dazzlers and 30-240 Textures.
I stamped the medallions from Dazzlers in a combination of summery colors. I stamped the woven (burlap-like) texture onto the orange card base for a tone-on-tone effect. The sentiment, one of my favorites, is from the 30-230 Sunny Hello stamp set
I can see using this same design in cooler colors (maybe even silver and gold) with a holiday sentiment!
Today, I’m sharing a CAS card created with products from the recent Penny Black Pocket Treasures release.
To begin, I cut the glasses using a die from the 51-055 Shades set several times, from both black cardstock and from patterned paper. I pieced these together and adhered them to solid cardstock cut with one of the dies from 51-053 A Pocket Full, which I had heat embossed with a sentiment from
30-246 Remember This. I attached the panel to a dry-embossed card base.
There’s a feature today on the Scrapbook & Cards Today blog highlighting the awesome new Penny Black Pocket Treasures release with inspiration for cards and pocket scrapbooking. For the post, I shared some of my recent pocket scrapbook pages. I’d be delighted if you took a look!
Today, I’m sharing a card suitable for a variety of celebrations, (graduations, birthdays, and first days back-to-school come immediately to mind), created with Penny Black die cuts and stamps.
I die cut the balloons with the Penny Black 51-004 Uplifting die set and used dimensional adhesive to create depth with the balloons. The number frame is cut with a die from the 51-056 Picture This set. I stamped the sentiment, from the Penny Black 30-171 Cupcakes set, onto the card base. I drew the balloon strings with a ruler on a sky blue cardstock panel with a Faber-Castell PITT artist pen.
Hope you’re having a special day!
Today, I’m changing direction a bit – I’m sharing pocket scrapbooking pages created with products from the recent Penny Black Pocket Treasures release.
Before I made cards, I scrapbooked, and before that, I kept photo albums. The pocket scrapbooking pages work well for my current memory keeping style. I like the ability to create my own journaling cards and a few embellishments with the Pocket Treasures dies and stamps, using my card making tools, (die cutting machine and punches), and supplies, (patterned paper, solid cardstock and twine).
My husband and eldest son just spent several days in NYC taking in the sights, and the pages below capture some of their visit (I have several more pages started documenting the rest of their trip).
Let’s take a more detailed look at some of the journaling cards and embellishments.
I used the Tagged #51-007 die to create a large journaling spot. I added a die-cut quote from A Pocket Full #51-053. I often add maps to my scrapbook pages. I stamped the Let’s Chat #30-244 location indicator and cut it with the coordinating die from Tabs & Toggles #51-051.
I stamped a sentiment from Remember This #30-246 with Staz-On ink directly onto the photo. I stamped the camera from Bon Voyage #30-224 and cut it with a 1″ circle punch.
I die cut a tab with Tabs & Toggles #51-051 and stamped it with a sentiment from Life’s Journals #30-247. I attached it to the photo with a Tiny Attacher. I die cut a journaling card with A Pocket Full #51-053 and added the stamped sentiment from Remember This #30-246.
I die cut the frame from Polaroid #51-057 and put it over a photo. I added it to a journaling card stamped with a sentiment and ledger lines from Life’s Journals #30-247. I cut the number frame from Picture This #51-056 and paired it with a journaling card.
Thanks for joining me in this departure from cardmaking!
