Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m sharing a CAS Easter card today featuring die-cut bunnies.
I cut the bunnies and squares from pink, orange, blue and yellow cardstock and adhered them to a card panel, onto which I’d printed the sentiment from my computer. A super-easy, super-fast card!

Today, I’m sharing a card inspired by one of Laura Bassen‘s for the Online Card Classes Background Check class.
Laura used embossing paste with a Simon Says Stamp wave stencil for her background, to which she added a Copic-colored swimmer. I dry-embossed the waves with a Memory Box stencil and then added Distress Inks with the stencil still in place. Because the Memory Box stencil width is smaller than an A2 card, I cut the panel with a Lawn Fawn die. I heat-embossed a Stampin’ Up sentiment on black cardstock and cut that with a small Lawn Fawn die. (I’m finding that I use the Lawn Cuts Stitched Rectangle die sets a lot.)
Because I used Distress Inks on the background, I decided to do the same for the sailboat, which I cut from cardstock colored with Candied Apple. I then trimmed off the lower half and adhered the sails to a boat cut from white cardstock.

Today, I’m sharing a card featuring the Poppystamps Cute Cottage dressed for Valentine’s Day.
It took me a while to figure out the colors for the cottage body, window boxes, trim, etc. But once decided, the card came together quickly. Since Valentine’s Day takes place during the winter in the Northern Hemisphere, I created a winter landscape with snow banks and a falling-snow dry-embossed background.
I heat-embossed the sentiment, from Taylored Expressions Welcome Home stamp set.
Supplies:
Today I’m sharing a Christmas scene using die cuts.
I cut the Poppystamps Elegant Stair Frame from the white cardstock and attached it to the card base, which I’d covered with patterned paper. I created the sentiment on my computer using a sentiment set from Ali Edwards. I decorated the tree with ornaments I cut with the Cabrini Ornament die from red, silver and gold cardstock. To finish off the card, I added a cat cut with an Impression Obsession die set.
Merry Christmas!
Today, I’m sharing a CAS (and easy-to-assemble) holiday card created with die cuts.
I used patterned paper to cover the card base and to provide the scene in the window. I added a sentiment created with a digital brush set from Ali Edwards.
I’m adding this to the Color Throwdown Challenge #373.
Supplies: Poppystamps cat, American Crafts Be Merry patterned paper, Ali Edwards digital sentiment
