Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today, I’m sharing another CAS patriotic card featuring the Simply Said – 4th of July set. I used the other sentiments in the stamp set on this card and this card.
I heat-embossed the sentiment and added die-cut embellishments cut with the Little Bits – Firework and Little Bits – Patriotic Confetti sets. I added texture with the Fireworks embossing folder. The patterned paper is from a Carta Bella Ahoy There paper pad (released several years ago).

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS patriotic card combining the Taylored Expressions Lucky Stars Stamp & Die Combo and Simply Said – 4th of July sets.
The Lucky Stars Stamp & Die Combo set made the creation of this card a breeze! I stamped the stars in three different ink colors and then used the corresponding die to cut them out. I used the negative piece as a template for attaching them to the stitched rectangle, on which I had stamped the sentiment from the Simply Said – 4th of July set.
For subtle texture, I used the Weathered embossing folder for the card base.

Hello! I’ve been busy making summer cards and the nautical theme is one of my favorites. My CAS card created with Taylored Expressions products uses a less traditional color combination. (I really like red, white, and blue, and the usual colors for nautical cards, but I wanted to try something a bit different.)
I stamped the Striped Background in Salt Water Taffy ink on Sugar Cube cardstock. I die-cut a circle in the background panel to expose the heat-embossed Seas the Day sentiment. I added the die-cut Little Bits – Sailboat as an embellishment. When I finished the card needed a little something, so I sprinkled on TE Sequins – Hello Happiness!

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions June 2017 Release! All of the products that we have been sharing this week are now available in the TE store! Before you head off to shop, I’ve got two more projects to share – one nautical and the other beachy!
My first card features the On the Water – Fishing Boat in a CAS nautical scene.
I stamped the background with the Seas the Day sentiment and added the die-cut boat, fish (included in the boat set), and Build a Scene – Swirly Clouds cloud. To keep it simple, I added just one wave cut with the Build a Scene – Rolling Waves die.

And it’s back to the beach for a Happy Summer card featuring a combination of die cuts showcasing Little Bits – Pineapple.
I cut the Little Bits – Pineapple in three different cardstock colors and added one of the sunglasses from Little Bits – Sunglasses to each. I also added tropical foliage cut with dies in Build a Scene – Tropical to the scene. I used Beach Border (trimmed on the right side to fit the vertical card orientation) for the background. The sentiment is cut with the Happy Summer Banner set.

Hello! Welcome to Day Three of the Taylored Expressions June Sneak Peeks. Products will be in the store tomorrow – Thursday, June 8 @ 7 AM PST!
My first card, featuring Busy Beaver Stamp & Die Combo, is an ode to Canada celebrating their 150th birthday on July 1st.
I colored the Busy Beaver Stamp & Die Combo images with Copic markers and cut them with their coordinating dies. I printed the flag on my computer printer and added it to a flag pole cut with the Little Bits – Hole in One set. I cut and colored the beaver adding it to a scene cut with Build A Scene – Grassy Hills (on which I heat-embossed the sentiment). The flowers are from the Home Sweet Home Accessories set.

The June 2017 release includes two sets of tracks for creating interactive cards. I used On the Right Track – Basics to create an urban scene featuring On the Road – Scooter.
I cut the track (the On the Right Track – Basics set includes six options) into the Downtown Border. The back section of the scooter is attached to foam adhesive attached to a penny, which moves along a channel created with two strips of foam tape. I die-cut the sentiment with Mini Caps Alpha & #’s and ran the Striped Background the other direction for the card background.
