Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Another fun day in the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2 class.
Of course, short on time, I decided to choose a technically challenging card! Let’s just say that the perfectionist inside of me had a few fits. My card is based on one shared by Joy Taylor.
I switched up the supplies a bit, as I don’t own the ones that she used.
Supplies: Memory Box cardstock; MME enamel dots; Technique Tuesday Awesome stamp set; Spellbinders circle dies; Hero Arts Granite shadow ink
Welcome! It’s time for another Pinspired Challenge. The photo is for you to interpret anyway you want. Be inspired by the colors, the style, the theme – it’s up to you!
This challenge is sponsored by Timeless Twine who are offering the winner a $10 gift certificate to their online store.
I was inspired by the image’s theme and design. I used two different cloud dies to achieve the cloud cover. I die cut vellum adhered to Be Creative tape so that I could easily adhere the clouds. Rather than use rain drops on my card, I die cut three colorful umbrellas.
Head on over to the Pinspired Challenges blog to see the creations from the rest of the “Pin Heads” and find out the details for playing along. Three runner ups will be chosen and win a “Pin Pal” badge for their blog. A winner, who will also be chosen by the “Pin Heads,” will win a “Pin Perfect” badge for their blog along with the prize from Timeless Twine. We can’t wait to see your creations!
Supplies: Stampin’ Up and Memory Box cardstock; dimensional tape

This may be my favorite day yet in the Online Card Class Pattern Play class. Today’s focus was on altering patterned paper. My card is based on one shown by Jennifer McGuire in which she used Picket Fence White Distress Stain on the papers to soften their look. I’m always wowed by how Jennifer adds details and polish to her designs.
Per Jennifer’s directions, I used Distress Ink on the edges of the clouds and sun to add a little color and definition.
Early on in my cardmaking, techniques intimidated me; now I have begun to really appreciate the fun in using the Distress Inks and Stains!
Supplies: patterned papers (Echo Park, Studio Calico, Lily Bee); Memory Box cloud dies; Spellbinders circle dies; Distress Inks; Distress Stain; Technique Tuesday/Ali Edwards stamp; Kaisercraft pearls; VersaMark; Hero Arts white embossing powder
Today’s the beginning of the Online Card Class Pattern Play. My card is based on one shared by Kristina Werner.
Supplies: October Afternoon paper, Technique Tuesday stamp; Simon Says Stamp heart die, May Arts twine, Fiskars scallop punch
I enrolled in the Online Card Classes Kick Start course last fall, but for a variety of reasons, I didn’t make any cards.
After the tremendous mojo boost I got from the Clean and Simple 2 course, I decided to revisit the Kick Start materials!
I had a bunch of strips left over from my Neat and Tangled Valentine’s Card, so started with those and made a card based on one that Jennifer McGuire shared in the Kick Start class.
I am amazed time and again by how well the Hero Arts shadow inks work. I used the Soft Granite shadow ink for the “Awesome” sentiment and got a great impression. When first stamped it looks blotchy, but as it dries, it magically smooths out!
Supplies: ColorBox white pigment ink; Encore silver ink; Stampin’ Up gray cardstock; Spellbinders dies
