Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
The sun is out here in the Pacific Northwest and spring is definitely just around the corner. For the card I’m sharing today, I combined Distress-inked die-cut pieces with a Paper Smooches sentiment to create an appreciation or friendship card.
I even Distress-inked the turquoise strip onto which I heat-embossed the sentiment.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Supplies: Sizzix Stephanie Barnard Flower Triplits Die Set, Taylored Expressions Burlap Embossing Folder
With spring less than a week away, I’m sharing a Thank You card created with die-cut blooms colored with a variety of Distress Inks.
I cut the bloom overlays with dies in the Essentials by Ellen Bold Blossom Stand-Alone set from white cardstock. I colored the other pieces, which had been cut with dies in the Bold Blooms Matching set, with Distress inks. I cut a square from the card front panel after stamping it with a sentiment from the Hero Arts Oh Snap stamp set. The top panel was attached to the floral panel with foam adhesive to create a shadow box.
Today, I’m sharing a “just because” die-cut spring scene card, created with Taylored Expressions stamps and dies.
The sentiment is from the just-released Let’s Talk Sentiments stamp set (it fits perfectly on the larger cloud in the Cloud Duo set). I built the CAS die-cut scene around the Garden Arbor & Gate to which I added spring-themed elements, such as the boots from Door to Door Spring Decor and the Little Bits – Umbrella. The background is textured with the Weathered embossing folder (technically debossed).
Hope your week is off to a happy start!

I’m playing along with Share Joy Challenge #24 at Taylored Expressions.
I created a spring-themed CAS card with Taylored Expressions die cuts:
The focal point of the card is the sweet In the Garden scene framed with Picture Perfect – Sunny Days. I couldn’t resist adding a bird cut with the Little Bits – Birds set. I dry-embossed the card base with the Flower Power embossing folder.

Today, I’m sharing a CAS spring-themed card created with Avery Elle stamps and dies.
I paired a sentiment from the Simply Said You set with images from the Storybook set. I stamped and heat-embossed the duck and bird on watercolor paper and colored with Distress Inks before cutting with their corresponding dies. The background was created with Distress Inks, which I applied by creating a mask from vellum, which I cut with a die in the Dotted Borders set. The sentiment was heat-embossed on a panel cut with one of the Double Pierced Rectangle dies, from which I cut out a circle.
Hope your Monday is off to a great start! Spring is just around the corner!
