Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! I’m sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card featuring Taylored Expressions products.
I paired the On the Road – Beetle (in red of course!) with a background created with the Cloud Nine Background. The sentiment is from the Go Beep set. While this card doesn’t scream masculine, it certainly could be sent to a guy.

Hello! I’m sharing a CAS winter-themed, Valentine’s Day card created with Penny Black dies.
I used the 51-281 What’s in Your Cup? die set to cut the mugs, tea bag, steam and foam, and colored the pieces with Distress Inks. I added a sentiment cut with 51-284 Filled With Love. I cut the sentiment twice for extra depth. The mugs were added to the background with foam adhesive.
Hello from the cold Pacific Northwest! I’m sharing a CAS winter-themed Valentine created with Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.
I stamped and colored the adorable bunnies from Snow Day and paired them with a snowy tree-lined hill cut with the Forest Border die. The background patterned paper from Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Christmas is intended for the Christmas holiday but still works for Valentine’s Day!

Hello. Welcome to the Taylored Expressions December 2016 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 a few more Valentines-themed projects to share!
I stamped and die cut the hearts with the Filled with Love Stamp & Die Combo set and attached them to a panel, which I had stamped with a sentiment from the set. To keep the hearts in a straight line, I used the panel from which I’d die cut the hearts as a guide. This card was super easy and quick to assemble.

My second card is a variation of my first!
I stamped and die cut the hearts with the Filled with Love Stamp & Die Combo set and attached them to the card base. I added a sentiment cut with the Sweet Script die, which I colored in an ombre fashion with several TE pink inks.

My final card features the Sweet Script die, colored with several TE pink inks.
I paired the Sweet Script die-cut with a How Sweet It Is sentiment and die-cuts created with the Little Bits – Donut, Little Bits – Cupcake and Little Bits – Ice Cream Cone sets. I cut the donuts, cupcakes and ice cream cones from cardstock colored with the TE inks. I added Ranger Picket Fence Stickles to simulate sugar.

Hello! Welcome to Day Three of the Taylored Expressions December Sneak Peeks featuring products designed for creating Valentine’s Day cards, as well as classroom/friend treats! The December products will be released tomorrow – Thursday, December 8 @ 7 AM PST!
My first card has the music lover in mind!
With the Musical Background as a backdrop, my card showcases the Little Bits – Treble/Bass die. I placed the Treble/Bass on a heart cut with a die in the Heart Stacklets set. I sprinkled on Little Bits – Love Notes and finished with a heat-embossed sentiment from The Birds & The Bees.
