Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today I’m sharing a Valentine’s card with a punny sentiment created with the Avery Elle Hogs and Kisses set.
I created a barnyard Valentine. I stamped the chickens and cow, colored with Copic markers, and cut with the corresponding dies. I added clouds, a fence (MFT Stamps), a hill and sun (cut with a Spellbinders circle die) to complete the scene.
Today, I’m sharing a card featuring the Poppystamps Cute Cottage dressed for Valentine’s Day.
It took me a while to figure out the colors for the cottage body, window boxes, trim, etc. But once decided, the card came together quickly. Since Valentine’s Day takes place during the winter in the Northern Hemisphere, I created a winter landscape with snow banks and a falling-snow dry-embossed background.
I heat-embossed the sentiment, from Taylored Expressions Welcome Home stamp set.

Today, I’m playing along with the Share Joy Challenge #18 at Taylored Expressions.
I used the sketch to create a Valentine’s Day card:
The focus of my card is a tic-tac-toe board created with the dies in the Love Always Wins Stamp & Die Combo. For my card, I used the Taylored Expressions Hello Happiness patterned papers, which helped immensely with my selection of solid cardstock colors and the overall color scheme. I finished off the place where the two patterned papers meet with a scallop edge, cut with the newly-released Stitched Scallop Edger die.
I heat-embossed a sentiment from Love Makes the World Go Round and cut it with one of the tag dies in the Mini Tags set.

I’m playing along with Share Joy Challenge #16 at Taylored Expressions.
I used the sketch and created a CAS Valentine’s card:
I stamped the cat image from the Stitch by Stitch set by coloring the stamp with Memento markers. I cut the image with one of the circle dies in the Stitched Circle Stacklets set. I heat embossed a sentiment from Love Makes the World Go Round and cut it with one of the Stitched Banner Stacklets dies.
I dry-embossed a rectangle cut with the largest die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets set with the Swiss Hearts embossing folder and adhered that to the card base. I used a couple of the Stitched Square Stacklets dies to create the Earl Grey triangle I placed behind the cat (I don’t know that I’ve ever used a triangle die cut on a card before!). This card came together quickly with the various Stacklets die sets!

Hello! Welcome to the Taylored Expressions December 2015 Release! All products that we have been peeking this week are now available in the TE store, HERE! Before you head off to shop, I have two more projects to show you featuring the Peek-a-boo Hearts die.
My first card pairs the Peek-a-boo Hearts die with the Heart of Hearts Stamp & Die Combo set.
I stamped the heart images from the Heart of Hearts Stamp & Die Combo set with red ink and cut them with the corresponding die. I cut a Cookie Monster cardstock panel with the Peek-a-boo Hearts die and dry-embossed it with the Paisley embossing folder, adhering the hearts to the backside. The “xoxo” sentiment is from the Love Makes the World Go Round set. I finished the card with a heat-embossed sentiment from the Heart of Hearts Stamp & Die Combo set.
On a second card, I used the Peek-a-boo Hearts die to frame the cute animals in the Quick Critters Stamp & Die Combo set.
I cut the critters from cardstock and stamped the faces onto matching cardstock. I then cut the faces out with a 5/8″ punch and added them to the bodies with foam adhesive.
Thanks so much for stopping by! If you’d like to see more projects and new product information, head over to the TE Blog for a complete blog roll of our participating designers!
