Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a CAS “just because” card crafted with Taylored Expressions die cuts in Fourth of July colors.
I created the houses with the Build A House die set and stamped a Stampin’ Up sentiment in pigment ink on the heavyweight white cardstock base. Red, white and blue is my favorite summer color combination!
Supplies:
Today, I’m sharing a Thank You card created with tropical-color die cuts. (It’s my way of dealing with the winter!)
I cut the Taylored Expressions Beach Border (the palm background) for the portrait orientation; it is wide enough for a card in the landscape orientation.
Supplies: My Favorite Things Joy Ride die set, Taylored Expressions Beach Border
I would like to invite you to join me in the CLASSroom for Day Six of 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist to see my tag featuring Taylored Expressions dies and stamps. I’ve included a step-by-step tutorial in the post.
Today I’m sharing a holiday card featuring the Taylored Expressions Neighborhood Border die.
I decided to keep the colors simple, as if the neighborhood had recently been carpeted with snow (and from the looks of the dry embossed background, it’s still snowing!). I backed the neighborhood border die cuts and the evergreen die cuts with a soft yellow cardstock. I almost always include a sentiment on the card front but decided to leave it off this time to preserve the tranquility!
Hope your first week of December has been humming along – I can’t believe how fast this fall is flying by!
I’m linking up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – the theme this week is Holidays and Christmas.
Supplies: TE Dies: Neighborhood Border, Little Bits-Christmas Tree, Build a Scene – Rolling Hills; TE Stamp: Welcome Home; TE Snowfall embossing folder
I’ve had these penguins and snowbanks on my worktable for several months! We’ve had a particularly chilly couple of days, so I thought it was time to put this card together.
I had been playing around with different backgrounds, and the Taylored Expressions embossing folder gives just the right scale snowfall for the rest of the scene. I dry embossed the cardstock with my Big Shot extended multipurpose platform on Tab 1. This gave just a bit more depth to the embossing. I cut the penguins twice and adhered them together for extra depth. The front two penguins and front two snowbanks are attached with dimensional adhesive as well.
Supplies: Memory Box Playful Penguins; Papertrey Ink die cut and sentiment; Taylored Expressions Snowfall embossing folder; Taylored Expressions Build a Scene – Rolling Hills
