Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
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!
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.

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.

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!
