Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS die-cut Valentine’s Day card featuring the Baby Envelope Die with a sentiment cut from the Miss Your Swirl die set.
I created the background with patterned paper from my stash to which I added a vellum circle in the center. I wanted to quiet the pattern so that the sentiment would be more visible.
I glued the assembled envelope to the circle and then added the letters and the hearts (cut with the Gingerbread Boy die set).

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Valentine’s Day card featuring the Heart Latte die set from Spellbinders.
I paired the assembled latte cup (I colored the latte and the spoon with Distress Oxide inks) with a heat-embossed sentiment from the Cup of Tea stamp set, sold separately as well as part of the November Bloom Box. (I shared tea-themed cards created with the Bloom box here.)
To reinforce the Valentine’s Day theme, I placed the sentiment on a heart cut from patterned paper using a die in the Classic Heart Nestabilities set and used heart patterned paper for the base.

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS winter-themed card featuring dies from Spellbinders and Fun Stampers Journey. I wanted to convey a sense of comfort with the teapot and hearts set against a window, which I cut with the Fun Stampers Journey Window View die set.
The teapot was cut with one of the dies in the Spellbinders Tea Pots by Sharyn Sowell die set; the hearts are included in the Spellbinders Gingerbread Boy Garland Tag set. I used Echo Park patterned paper from my stash along with a sentiment from My Favorite Things Cup of Tea.

Hello! Wow, it is hard to believe that it is 2019! Happy New Year! Today, I am delighted to be sharing two friendship/Valentine-themed projects created with the January Small Die of the Month “First Crush” from Spellbinders. This die set is just precious! Let’s take a look!
On my first card, I created a boy and a girl with the dies in the January Small Die of the Month set.
I added the assembled children to a card base on to which I had adhered a heart cut with one of the Nestabilities Heart Dies from the Follow Your Heart paper. (I used the same patterned paper for the boy’s shirt and the girl’s dress.) The children are popped up with foam adhesive. I added the balloon after I had the children attached.
On the second card, I created a girl in the same manner as on my first card. To fill out the space, I cut three balloons, over which I added the LOVE letters, cut with a die in the Miss You Swirl set.
Both cards are 5″ x 7″. I wanted to give plenty of room for the assembled children.

Hello! Today I am sharing two projects created with the recently-introduced Spellbinders Exquisite Splendor Collection by Marisa Job – beautiful botanical dies that can be used for a number of occasions including birthdays and weddings! I used the Tulip Flower Frame Card Creator die set to create the background for both of my CAS cards. Let’s take a look.
On my first project, I began by cutting the card panel with the rectangle die in the Tulip Flower Frame Card Creator set, (the set includes an A2 size 4.25 x 5.50 in. outline frame and an intricate tulip design insert), from Whip Creme cardstock. I then cut the tulip design from the A2 panel. I did this a second time and adhered the layers together. I backed the assembly with coral cardstock. I used the tulip design to cut soft blue, soft yellow, and soft gray pieces which I adhered to the coral base with glue. Having the two layers makes this technique easy!
I dry-embossed a strip of soft yellow cardstock with the Beach Towel embossing folder and added a sentiment stamped with the Every Moment stamp set, cut with a Spellbinders circle die.
My second project is of a similar design, and I followed the same steps as for my first card. I created the sentiment with the Happy Birthday Banner, another die set in the Exquisite Splendor Collection.
I adhered the sentiment letters to a single piece of floss with liquid adhesive and attached the ends of the strings to the back of the dry-embossed strip, which was then adhered to the card base.
Thanks for visiting today!
