Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
With Valentine’s Day now in the rear-view mirror, I’m sharing an Easter card created with several Lawn Fawn sets.
The Pretty Pink Posh Storybook frame makes it easy to coordinate stamped images without building large scenes. The bunnies are actually from a winter Lawn Fawn set.
Supplies:
Today I’m sharing a CAS friendship card featuring an umbrella die cut against a background created with a raindrop stencil and embossing paste.
After stamping the card base, I applied embossing paste, which I colored with Salty Ocean Distress Ink, through the Raindrops stencil (I selectively masked off portions of the stencil so that the umbrella would appear to be keeping the sentiment dry. Once the embossing paste dried, I adhered the umbrella die cut. The canopy of the umbrella was cut from cardstock which I had colored with a combination of Distress Inks (reds and a little yellow) for a different project.
Supplies: Hero Arts “Heyday Sentiments” stamp set
Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions February 2016 Release! I have one more project to show you featuring the Roly Poly – Duck die.
The base of the Roly Poly Duck is a circle cut with a die in the Stitched Circle Stacklets set. Once I pieced the duck together, I added grass, cut with the Fringe Border, to the card base, which I dry-embossed with the Cloudy Days embossing folder. I added a couple of eggs, which I dry-embossed with the On the Spot folder. I heat-embossed the sentiment from the Easter Wishes set and cut it with a die in the Stitched Banner Stacklets set. These colors make me happy!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Welcome to Day 3 of the Taylored Expressions February Sneak Peeks! It’s time to get crafty with Easter- and spring-themed projects! The February products will be released tomorrow – Thursday, February 4 @ 7 AM PST!
My first card, created entirely with die cuts, features the Door to Door Spring Decor set, a coordinating set for the previous released Door to Door die set.
I added a mail box cut with the Little Bits – Mailbox set and a Welcome banner cut with a die in the Welcome Spring Banner set. There’s just something about a red door! (Of course, there are a number of other options here – it’s just a matter of changing up the colors.)
My second card showcases the Simply Stamped – Tulips stamp set, with coordinating dies.
I stamped the tulip images three times each, using Dandelion, Cantaloupe, Tangelo and Morocco inks for the blossoms and Bamboo Leaves and Cottage Ivy inks for the stems and leaves. In some cases, I stamped a combination of Dandelion/Cantaloupe/Tangelo and on others Cantaloupe/Tangelo/Morocco. I wanted there to be variation in the coloring on the flowers.
I heat-embossed one of the sentiments from the set and cut it with a die in the Stitched Banner Stacklets set. The floral scene is set against a dry-embossed background, created with the Butterfly Swirls embossing folder.

Welcome to Day 2 of the Taylored Expressions February Sneak Peeks! It’s time to get crafty with Easter- and spring-themed projects! The February products will be released Thursday, February 4 @ 7 AM PST!
You’ll notice a theme with the two cards I’m showing today (both made entirely with die cuts) – sunshine and the outdoors!
I used the Picture Perfect – Sunny Days die to frame a scene featuring the Little Bits – Birdhouse and Little Bits – Birds dies. The teal blue bird is singing his heart out.
I set my scene against a dry-embossed Walking on Sunshine background and added a picket fence, a cloud, and hearts for visual interest.
My second card highlights the In the Garden die. The die can be used to create either a horizontal or a vertical card. The girl gathering flowers is just adorable.
Again, I set my scene against a dry-embossed Walking on Sunshine background and added banners cut with the Welcome Spring Banner die. A frame, cut with a die in the Frame in Frame Cutting Plate set, finished it off.
