Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a CAS summer-themed card showcasing the Penny Black #40-374 Effulgence stamp set.
I created the background by smooshing a combination of Distress Inks onto the mixed media paper/cardstock. Once the background was dry, I stamped the Penny Black #40-374 Effulgence image in black ink and added a sentiment from the Penny Black #30-280 A Sweet Day set. I cut the panel with a scalloped die and adhered it to a colored cardstock background.
Today, I’m sharing another summer-themed, beach scene crafted with die cuts.
I used my favorite red/white/blue scheme again! Hope you’re having a terrific day.
I couldn’t resist creating watermelon Popsicles with the Reverse Confetti Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts and the Doin’ the Wave Confetti Cuts.
To create the Popsicles, I used the Doin’ the Wave Confetti Cuts to cut two patterned papers and white cardstock. I adhered the pieces onto a lightweight piece of cardstock, fitting them together in their grooves, and used the Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts to cut out the Popsicle. For the Popsicle sticks, I first cut them with the Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts and then ran them through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain Confetti Cuts to add texture.
I heat embossed one of the sentiments from Donut You Know. Additional embellishments were created with the Confetti Cuts sets: Layered Banner Duo (banner), Shakers ‘n Frames (hearts), Wonky Scallop Border, and Tagged Tote (bow).
Today, I’m sharing a “just because” summer-themed CAS card.
I haven’t seen a lady bug in years, but fondly remember seeing them as a child! I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts “Heyday Sentiments” set on the rectangular cardstock panel and then adhered the die cut leaves and lady bugs.

Today, I’m sharing a summer-themed lighthouse scene crafted with Taylored Expressions dies.
I’ve already proclaimed my love for the red, white and blue (in this case navy and a chambray blue) color scheme, especially during the summer. I added a little yellow to energize the scene. The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set.
Supplies: Taylored Expressions Little Bits – Lighthouse, Little Bits – Sailboat, Build A Scene – Rolling Waves, Build A Scene – Rolling Hills
