Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today I’m sharing a spring-themed “just because” card created with Lawn Fawn supplies.
I stamped the images from Lawn Fawn Fairy Friends and colored them with Copics. I placed the colored images, which I cut with their corresponding dies, in a scene created with the Lawn Cuts Meadow Borders and one of the dies in the Lawn Cuts Stitched Hillside Border set onto which I had heat-embossed the sentiment.
The sun is out here in the Pacific Northwest and I’m thinking about spring!

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions February 2017 Release! All of the products that we have been sharing this week are now available in the TE store!
Before you head off to shop, I’ve got two more projects to share! My first card combines a wreath created with the Spring Florals set and the Lattice Frame Cutting Plate.
I created a wreath with the Spring Florals set to which I added a few blossoms from the Fresh Florals set. I used Lemon Meringue Enamel Shapes on the centers of many of the blossoms. There is a promotion on both the Spring Florals set and the Lattice Frame Cutting Plate. I have details at the end of this post.

Spring is one of my favorite times of year! And spring showers do bring flowers – I’m looking forward to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival here in the Pacific Northwest. My final card combines a die-cut Blessed Script sentiment with the Rainboot Bouquet image.
I stamped the Rainboot Bouquet image and colored it with Copic markers. I cut the Blessed Script sentiment twice, adhering the pieces together for added depth. The die cut pairs with the So Very Blessed stamp set.

Hello! Welcome to Day Three of the Taylored Expressions February Sneak Peeks. The Easter and Spring season products we have been sneaking this week will be released tomorrow – Thursday, February 9 @ 7 AM PST!
Today I’m sharing two cards created entirely with die-cuts. My first card showcases the Eventful – Bunny Border.
I used a variety of Taylored Expressions dies to create the layers on the card. I created the sentiment with the Easter Wishes Banner. I chose to leave the bunnies white and place them in a scene with a lot of color. However, there are lots of ways one could use this die set – color the die-cut with Copic markers or watercolors or cut it into two pieces and insert those pieces into a die-cut scene.

For my second project, I created an Easter basket on to which I added the die-cut Easter Wishes Banner sentiment.
I filled a basket created with the Wicker Pocket die with eggs cut with the Egg Stacklets set and dry-embossed with the Loopy Loops and On the Spot folders.

Hello! Welcome to Day Two of the Taylored Expressions February Sneak Peeks. The Spring and Easter products being sneaked will be released Thursday, February 9 @ 7 AM PST!
My first project features the You’re in my Prayers stamp set.
I combined the stamped sentiment (there are several options on the set) with a floral bouquet created with Spring Florals and Bloomin’ Birthday Stamp & Die Combo. I used Lemon Meringue Enamel Shapes for the flower centers. (At the end of this post, I have information on a promotion of the Enamel Shapes.)

My Easter card combines the Little Bits – Crosses set with a sentiment from He Is Risen.
I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment. I colored the dry-embossed background with ink using the largest brush in the Clarity Stencil Brushes set. I framed the card with frames created using the Ornate Frame Cutting Plate.

Hello! Welcome to Day One of the Taylored Expressions February Sneak Peeks. This release is all about Easter and Spring! (As I write, there is snow falling outside and a winter weather advisory in effect – I’m ready for some warmer weather!) The products we are sneaking will be released Thursday, February 9 @ 7 AM PST!
My first card is a watercolored panel stamped with the Bloomin’ Background and a sentiment from Simply Said – Spring.
I stamped the background and sentiment on TE Premium Watercolor Cardstock and colored the image with watercolors in the Kuretake Gansai Tambi – 24 set. It was so relaxing to color in this image and I look forward to a change of seasons!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays – I like the holiday’s motifs and colors. This Easter card showcases the Skinny Mini Spring Borders.
This card uses a variety of Taylored Expressions dies. I created the sentiment with Easter Wishes Banner, part of the February 2017 release, and the Happy Summer Banner. I added Enamel Shapes to the bunny and flower borders. Be sure to check out the promotion for the Enamel Shapes included below.
