Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a CAS card, suited for any occasion, crafted with some of the new goodies from the Penny Black “Happy Everything” release.
I die cut the feather from the feather & frames [#51-039] set in a variety of blue and gray cardstock colors and paired them with a heat embossed sentiment from the kind words [#30-226] set. The feathers are adhered to the card base with dimensional adhesive.
Today I’m sharing a card that combines an image from a Crafter’s Workshop stencil with a new stamp and die from Penny Black’s “Happy Everything” release.
I stamped the Penny Black Decadence stamp [#40-254] for the background. For the focal image, I used silver embossing paste on a portion of the Crafter’s Workshop Birds of a Feather stencil. The sentiment is from the new Penny Black stamp set Kind Words [#30-226] that I die cut with one of the dies in the Triple Banner set [#51-027].
Today I’m sharing two projects featuring the Penny Black “Hugs” die from Love Expressions [#51-025].
On the card, I stamped and fussy-cut hearts from Heart Swatches [#30-204]. I added the “Hugs” sentiment and dragonfly from Flutters [#51-006], both cut out of silver cardstock, to a dry-embossed card base. I wanted to use non-traditional Valentine’s Day colors for a spring-themed friendship card.
For my second project, I added the die cut “Hugs” to a tag cut with the largest tag in the Tagged [#51-007] die cut set. I created the ombré heart pattern using a stamp from the My Type [#40-189] set. I attached the tag to a bag of chocolates for Valentine’s Day.
Today, I’m sharing a project combining the adorable elephant from Penny Black’s jumbo love [#30-209] stamp set with classroom Valentine cards I created on my computer.
For my first classroom Valentine, I stamped and fussy cut the elephant on gray cardstock. The cards measure 3″ wide by 4″ tall – I designed the cards to fit into a Project Life page.
I thought it would be fun to try the elephant in pink as well!
If you’re interested, I created a pdf download with the classroom Valentines (four to the page, two in each color). All you have to do is stamp the elephant! (Click on the link and select “download.” For some reason, the preview does not accurately depict the download and it will appear wonky. I don’t know why, but I’ve tested the download and it’s correct. 🙂 )
Happy Monday!
Happy Monday, everyone! Today, I’m sharing two cards made with the same design, both using the Penny Black Love Expressions die cut “I Love You” [#51-025].
For my first card, I used a heart-embossed white cardstock. I die cut a heart from the front panel and adhered acetate and vellum to the inside. I adhered the “I Love You” sentiment to the front of the acetate panel with Glossy Accents. I stamped the inside of the card with the Daisy Heart [#4291K] stamp. The vellum softens the appearance of the stamped image so that the sentiment takes center stage.
For my second card, I dry-embossed a soft gray cardstock. The inside is stamped with with the Letter Background stamp [#1999L]. Because the pattern of the letters offered more white space on the background, I didn’t add the vellum to the front, only the acetate. I also rounded the corners and added a twine bow for additional color.
