Right as Rain - Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

Avery Elle Viking

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS masculine thank you card created with the Avery Elle Viking stamp set. This is another card created with the goals of using seldom- or never-used products and practicing my coloring skills.

I stamped the viking image and colored him with Copic markers and colored pencils. The image includes a sentiment in the beard, which I covered when I stamped the image.
I used the coordinating die to cut out the viking.
I heat-embossed an Avery Elle thank you sentiment (sent in one of my Avery Elle orders) on woodgrain patterned paper.
I added the Viking to the woodgrain paper with foam adhesive and added the assembly to a gingham-checked patterned paper base.

Supplies: Avery Elle Viking and coordinating die set, X-Press It paper (for Copics)

Paper Smooches Chilly Chum

Hello! Recently, I’ve been practicing my coloring and using never-used and/or under-used products. I’ve owned the Chilly Chums set from Paper Smooches for many years and have never used it! I created a card with the cute fox image in the set.

I Copic-colored the fox and shaded it with colored pencils.
I created the card background by cutting a hill out of vellum, placing the hill on to the white cardstock and brushing Tumbled Glass ink as the sky.
I heat-embossed the Winter Sampler sentiment in red to match the card base.
I added snowflakes to the scene and popped the fox on to the card with foam adhesive.

Penny Black Birdhouse Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine card created with Penny Black supplies, both old and new.

I die-cut the #51-503 Rustic Birdhouse die and assembled it. I really like the woodgrain that the die creates.
I die-cut the birds using the #51-094 Tweets and #51-050 Tweet Things sets. I backed the birds with cardstock from behind.
I applied Distress Ink to the background and stamped the #30-667 Love Language sentiment in the corner.
I added the birdhouse to the base and added the birds with foam adhesive.

Elizabeth Craft Designs – Die-cut Winter Birds

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed friendship card featuring the retired Elizabeth Craft Designs “Birds” die set paired with a Paper Smooches sentiment from the “Winter Sampler” set.

I die-cut the pieces from cardstock, patterned paper, and flock material and assembled the birds.
I stamped the Winter Sampler sentiment on to cardstock which I cut with a skinny rectangular die.
I cut the turquoise circles and added them and the sentiment strip to a patterned paper base.
I added the assembled birds with foam adhesive.

Supplies: Therm O Web White Latte Transfer Sheets

Spellbinders Walrus Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a Valentine that showcases Woliver, a walrus die set from Spellbinders.

I cut Woliver and the iceberg from cardstock and assembled the items.
I cut the heart from patterned paper and added it to a patterned paper base.
I heat-embossed the Fun Stampers Journey “Sending My Love” sentiment on black cardstock.
I added hearts cut with a die in the Festive Wreaths set to fill the space.

Hope your week is off to a terrific start!
