Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a CAS (and easy-to-assemble) holiday card created with die cuts.
I used patterned paper to cover the card base and to provide the scene in the window. I added a sentiment created with a digital brush set from Ali Edwards.
I’m adding this to the Color Throwdown Challenge #373.
Supplies: Poppystamps cat, American Crafts Be Merry patterned paper, Ali Edwards digital sentiment
Today, I’m sharing a CAS holiday card featuring a holiday tree image from Penny Black’s the 30-308 Peace & Harmony set.
I heat-embossed the tree with silver embossing powder onto a white cardstock panel. I adhered the panel to a card base covered with paper from the 80-013 Holiday Trimming pad. I added a bird cut from watercolor paper, which I watercolored with Distress Ink, using a die from the 51-050 Tweet Things set. I heat-embossed the sentiment, from the 30-257 Joy Filled set and cut it with the banner die from the 51-055 Shades set.
This card would be easy to mass produce and could be easily changed up by heat-embossing with a different color powder, using different patterned paper or using different colored cardstock for the panel and banner.
I’m playing along with the Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge #14.
My take on the challenge used the sketch:
I heat-embossed a sentiment from the In & Out Christmas set on Sweet Basil cardstock and cut it with a die in the Stitched Banner Stacklets set. I used the same die to cut a piece of patterned paper from the 6×6 Paper Pack – Build a Scene Christmas pad. I cut the Eventful – Night Before Christmas scene from Cherry Pop cardstock. I cut Sugar Cube cardstock with a die in the Stitched Rectangle Stacklets set. I covered the card base with a piece of paper from 6×6 Paper Pack – Build a Scene Christmas pad and added a rectangle cut with another patterned paper from the set. To finish, I added trees cut from Sugar Cube cardstock with dies in the Build a Scene – Central Park and Build a Scene – Winter Trees set.

Today I’m a guest over in the Ellen Hutson Classroom for the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist. Paired with the talented Sharon Harnist, I’m sharing a tag created with the theme – Twas The Night Before Christmas.
My tag features Taylored Expressions die cuts and a Santa image and sentiment from the Santa’s Flight set designed by Julie Ebersole.
I built the tag in layers, beginning by heat-embossing the Santa image and ending with the heat-embossed HO HO HO sentiment! Head over to the Classroom for a full supply list and to see Sharon’s take on the theme!
I’m sharing another tag as part of the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist at Ellen Hutson’s. This tag was inspired by the ones shown by Laurel Beard and Penny Ward.
I cut Wax Lips, Candy Necklace, Gumball and white cardstock with the Poppystamps Stocking Garland die and pieced it together. I stamped the Icy Mint cardstock with the sentiment from the Santa’s Flight set with VersaFine ink and cut it with the largest die in the MFT STAX tag set. I used foam adhesive to attach the stocking garland. Super fast and easy!
Supplies: Poppystamps Stocking Garland die
