Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! I am delighted to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog, sharing three cards created with supplies from the November Die D-Lites collection. On all three cards, I used the Elephant Festival set. Head over to read the details on how I created the cards and about my design decisions.

Hello! I’m sharing holiday tags featuring the Tux die set. I’ve placed the penguin on to tags cut with the Spellbinders Tag, You’re It die (stock number SR-004). The die set is out-of-stock but is available at other retailers. Spellbinders is running a promotion right now on Steel Rule dies.
Steel Rule dies are thick dies that can cut a variety of materials such as denim, chipboard, metal, etc. I used the die set to cut corrugated cardstock, cork, and various glitter cardstocks I have in my stash.
To construct the penguins, I die cut the pieces using these instructions as a guide. To note: the penguin head is added on top of the body after the scarf is added, which differs from the way the instructions are written.
I adhered snowflakes to the tags and added the penguins on top with foam adhesive. I heat-embossed the sentiment on a strip, which I added under the tag grommet.

Hello and happy November! It’s hard to believe we’re less than two months away from Christmas! Today, I am sharing three projects created with the November Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Kaleidoscope Snowflake.” The dies are suitable for Christmas or the upcoming winter months.
The die set includes dies to create the large layering snowflake (which can be layered with 2 or 3 layers). Additionally there’s a set of three snowflakes which can be used separately or layered together. Let’s take a look at what I created.
My first two cards are of the same design with different colors.
On my third project, I used the set’s individual snowflakes.
The sentiment was hot-foiled in Copper on to navy cardstock. The snowflakes were cut from Whip Cream cardstock and copper foil cardstock. I combined the largest and middle-sized snowflakes and used the smallest snowflake individually.
Thanks for dropping by today!

Hello! Today I am sharing two CAS cards featuring products from the 3D Holiday Vignettes at Spellbinders, designed by Becca Feeken. A few months ago, I shared projects with these same products, which you can see here. I don’t always have the time to create projects as detailed as those, so I created two more cards using just the focal image dies in those sets. Let’s take a look!
On the first card, I used the Santa Claus die set to cut Whip Cream cardstock for the focal image. I used the circle die in that set to cut a light green cardstock with which to back the image. I added the assembly to a red cardstock base on which I heat-embossed a sentiment.
My second card features the Reindeer Prance set. I cut the focal image from Whip Cream cardstock and backed it with the same soft green as in the first card. I added the assembly to a dry-embossed background and added the heat-embossed sentiment.

This amazing 21-piece set includes all of the pieces with which to construct the slider card, in addition to a number of smaller dies with which to customize the slider card for a variety of occasions and seasons. Given the time of year, I used the set’s snowflake dies on my projects.
My cards are similar, as both use Die D-Lite sets as the focal image and the same patterned paper. There are a couple of differences upon which I’ll elaborate.
My first card showcases the Die D-Lites Woliver set.
I die-cut and constructed the walrus from solid cardstock. I constructed the slider card from both patterned paper and solid cardstock. Snowflakes adorn the circle frame.
To make things easy for myself, I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it out with a rectangle die. I then added the sentiment to the piece that is pulled to slide the easel up (alternately I could have stamped the sentiment on to the piece that is pulled). A sentiment can easily be included in the top portion (or in the bottom portion, in lieu of something else).
I dry-embossed the piece that is pulled up with the Falala Bold embossing folder from a soft-blue cardstock that coordinates with the patterned paper.
The area revealed easily fits a gift card (adhered with a temporary adhesive dot to the card back). I used a Starbucks gift card because that’s one of my favorite gift cards to receive!
My second card features the Die D-Lites Snowman.
I die-cut and constructed the snowman. I constructed the slider card from both patterned paper and solid cardstock. The snowflakes adorn the circle frame and the snowman’s hat. Just as before, to make things easy for myself, I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it out with a rectangle die. I then added the sentiment to the piece that is pulled to slide up the card.
Thanks so by for stopping by today! Be sure to check out this blog post on the Spellbinders blog with more project ideas, directions for assembly, and a video!
