Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a summery “hello” card pairing Penny Black’s 30-237 Dazzlers and 30-240 Textures.
I stamped the medallions from Dazzlers in a combination of summery colors. I stamped the woven (burlap-like) texture onto the orange card base for a tone-on-tone effect. The sentiment, one of my favorites, is from the 30-230 Sunny Hello stamp set
I can see using this same design in cooler colors (maybe even silver and gold) with a holiday sentiment!
One of the themes for the recent StampNation Beach Vacation was “Anchors Away,” and as nautical is one of my favorite summer card themes, I couldn’t resist playing along. It is already starting to feel like fall here in the Pacific Northwest, and with all of the new stamping product releases with fall and holiday themes, I’m not likely to make another nautical card this year.
I embossed the die cut tag with a nautical Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder. The WPlus9 Design sentiment was stamped with Stampin’ Up navy ink and die cut with a Spellbinder circle die. The medallion behind it was stamped with Stampin’ Up red ink and also die cut with a Spellbinders die. The anchor was cut from matte silver cardstock. The patterned paper is from the Carta Bella “Ahoy There” collection. I cut the patterned paper with the stitched rectangle die in the Blueprints 13 set.
Supplies: WPlus9 Design Dockside stamp, WPlus9 Design Timeless Tags 2, WPlus9 Nautical Notions, MFT Blueprints 13
Today I’m sharing an all-occasion card created with Memory Box and Poppystamps die cuts.
The new Puffy Cloud border only cuts on the cloud shape edge, allowing a range of lengths for the cloud panel. I cut each of the hot air balloons twice (adhering them with 2-in-1 glue) and attached them to the cloud panels with dimensional adhesive for extra depth.
Hope you’re having a terrific day!

Even though the StampNation Beach Vacation week has drawn to a close, I’m still thinking about beach-themed cards! I particularly like the recently-released My Favorite Things “Sea Life” set for the beach theme.
I used the Sea Life die set to cut the fish and the coral plant. I used Stampin’ Up inks for all of the stamping – the coverage of this ink with the solid image stamps is fantastic.
FYI: The winners from the StampNation Beach Vacation Blog Hop have been announced on Catherine’s blog.

Today, I’m sharing a card created with the new Penny Black Bon Voyage #30-224 stamp set – perfect for summer travel cards or scrapbook layouts!
I paired the stamped and Copic-colored Vespa with balloons cut using the Uplifting #51-004 die set. I cut each balloon twice and used dimensional adhesive on some to create a variety of depths. The balloon strings were drawn by hand.
Have a fabulous Friday!
