Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! I am over on the Spellbinders blog talking about feeling overwhelmed when faced with an abundance of choices, specifically with crafting projects that involve a lot of diecutting. I hope you will head over to read my secrets, see the three projects I created with the Envelope of Wonder Collection, and leave a comment!
Hello! I was recently a guest on the Spellbinders blog sharing three cards created with the Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken. The collection consists of five die sets and a sentiment stamp set with which to craft elegant and timeless projects for a variety of occasions and holidays year-round. I would be delighted if you would head to the blog and read about the cards. Check out all the new Spellbinders collections here.
Hello! I’m delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog sharing cards that showcase some of the just-released products in their Halloween & Fall 2020 Collection.
For both of the cards, I foiled images on colorful cardstock. Although I’ll be sad to see summer end, I’m excited about the upcoming season. I’m a self-professed Halloween fan, in large part because of the colors!
I hope you’ll head over to the Spellbinders blog for all of the details.

Hello and happy October! Today, I am sharing two projects created with the October Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Home for the Holidays.” I had a lot of fun dressing my hostess for both Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Let’s start with the Thanksgiving card. I cut the hostess from a variety of solid and patterned papers. It was fun choosing her dress pattern.
I quieted the floral background patterned paper by adhering velum to it. I heat-embossed a My Favorite Things sentiment on pumpkin-colored cardstock to coordinate with the pie.
For the Christmas version, I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Merry Everything set on to a white cardstock circle that I placed behind the hostess to help her stand out on the background paper.
The hostess is holding a small Christmas tree. I added wrapped plaid packages, cut with dies in the set, around her feet as embellishment.

Hello! Wow, it is already October. It is hard to believe how fast this year is going by! Today, I am delighted to be sharing three fall- and Thanksgiving-themed CAS projects created with the October Small Die Of The Month kit from Spellbinders. These cards took very little time to put together!
I grabbed a variety of warm-toned solid cardstocks (rusts, browns, tans), gold foil cardstock, and fall-themed patterned papers and started die-cutting. I backed the die-cut acorn top with solid cardstock in the card above and with gold foil below.
For all three cards, the die-cuts included in the small die kit do the “talking”- I didn’t stamp a thing!
Head over to the Spellbinders blog for info about the kit and more inspiration!
