Right as Rain - Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

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 cardstock I had colored with watercolor (pink) and Distress Inks (green).
- I glued the white outline onto the colored pieces.
- I cut the Mason Jar from white and light-blue cardstock.
- I stamped the sentiment onto 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: Paper Smooches Mason Jar and Rose die sets; Paper Smooches Sweet Hearts stamp set; Simon Says Stamp Sea Class cardstock

Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Patterns

Hello! Today I am sharing two cards created with the recently-released Kaleidoscope Tile die set from Spellbinders.

All of the details can be found over on the Spellbinders blog. I hope you’ll head over!

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!

Elizabeth Craft Designs Bunny

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed card created with the Elizabeth Craft Designs Bunny die. He looks like he’s already full of carrots!

I die-cut the bunny from Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock and a Stampin’ Up pink carstock, which is now retired. I used the eye dies from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Penguin set for the bunny’s eye (the Bunny die set simply places an indent in the eye area), and I added cheeks cut with a hole punch.
I propped the bunny on to a stack of greenery cut with the ECD Forest Accessories set.
The sentiment is from a now-retired MFT stamp set. I don’t own a lot of Easter or bunny stamp sets, so this one is in heavy rotation at this time of year!
I cut the background gingham paper with an oval die made by Taylored Expressions and added the assembly to a patterned paper card base (also from the Echo Park I Love Spring pack).
