Right as Rain - Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

Alone Together – Penny Black Die-Cut Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS encouragement card with a die-cut scene depicting the current “Alone Together” world that we live in. Whether you are in the city, in the suburbs, on the farm, … we’re in this together!

I die-cut the houses with the #51-459 Neighborhood Border die from navy cardstock and backed the windows with yellow cardstock.
I die-cut the skyline with the #51-017 Downtown die from gray cardstock and backed the windows with yellow cardstock.
I cut the hearts with dies in the #51-090 Little Ornaments and the #51-281 What’s in Your Cup? sets.
I created the sentiment on my computer.

Supplies:

Paper Smooches Rose Bouquet

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card featuring a combination of Paper Smooches supplies, sending a bouquet of cheer in these uncertain times!

I die-cut the floral pieces using the now-retired Paper Smooches Rose die from white cardstock and from cardstock I had colored with watercolor (pink) and Distress Inks (green).
I glued the white outline on to the colored pieces.
I cut the Mason Jar from white and light-blue cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment on to a tag I cut with a punch.
I assembled the blooms and leaves on the Mason Jar and added the tag with twine.
The Mason Jar and rose assembly was added to a patterned paper card base.

Supplies:

Penny Black Tulip Truck

Hello! Today I am sharing a card I crafted using Penny Black die sets, which was inspired by a hooked wool pillow I saw in the window of a local store (image courtesy of Mud Pie).

I began by die-cutting and assembling the #51-571 Vintage Truck. I backed the window with a lighter blue cardstock.
I cut the tulips with the #51-043 Dainty die from green and two shades of pink. I trimmed the tulip blooms and attached them to the stems.
I die-cut the sentiment with the #51-040 Hello Frame set.

Sending warm thoughts during these uncertain times in our global community!
