Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Despite rain and cold here in the Pacific Northwest, the birds seem incredibly happy. This CAS spring-themed friendship card was inspired by those hearty birds!
I paired a Hero Arts sentiment (I like the typeface, the length of the sentiment in terms of placing it on an A2 card AND what it says!) with the Paper Smooches die-cut birds and branch.
Supplies:
I’m sharing a CAS Easter card today featuring die-cut bunnies.
I cut the bunnies and squares from pink, orange, blue and yellow cardstock and adhered them to a card panel, onto which I’d printed the sentiment from my computer. A super-easy, super-fast card!
Poppy Stamps dies: Fuzzy Bunnies, Bunny Buddies, Fluffy Bunny
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!
