Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS fall-themed card showcasing the Hello Bluebird Fall Friends set (a new-to-me company from which I plan to purchase more supplies!). I stamped the adorable images and colored them with Copic markers and colored pencils.
I cut the images with their companion dies and added them to a background created with Distress Oxide Inks (listed below).

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS holiday card showcasing the Let’s Bake die set from the Spellbinders A Sweet Christmas Collection by Sharyn Sowell. This card would be a great addition to a gift of Christmas cookies or candy (my mother gifted hand-turned fudge packaged in a red round tin). Similarly the die-cuts could be used to created gift tags for Christmas food gifts!
I cut the pieces from a variety of cardstock colors and backed the pieces with openings (the oven mitt, the measuring spoon, and the glass measuring cup) with cardstock in the same color.
I added a heat-embossed sentiment on the kitchen wall background which I created with the Spellbinders Circles and Diamonds embossing folder.
Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card combining a sentiment from the Four Seasons Sayings stamp set with die-cut sunflowers. There are a number of terrific sentiments in the stamp set. This particular one is not specifically fall, but I felt suited.
I stamped the sentiment with Stampin’ Up Chocolate Chip ink on to patterned paper in my stash. I cut the sunflower from a variety of solid cardstocks – I pulled out all of my greens, yellows, and browns to figure out which ones were the best for depicting sunflowers. Even though fall is just beginning, it seems it is already time to start in on holiday cards!

Hello! Today, I am sharing three takes with the same die set from the Spellbinders A Sweet Christmas Collection by Sharyn Sowell. All three of the CAS holiday cards showcase the Santa Parade set which is part of this fabulous collection. The parade die measures a generous 7″ x 3″. With little effort, this set packs a big punch! I cut the parade out of black cardstock, glitter cardstock, and white cardstock, which I colored with Distress Inks. On all three cards, the bases are 7 ¼” x 4″; the rectangle backgrounds are 7″ x 3 ¾”.
For the card featuring the black cardstock parade silhouette, I used a sentiment from the same die set. I cut the sentiment twice from brushed gold cardstock for extra depth; I used the same gold cardstock for the base.
I heat-embossed a Hero Arts sentiment for the card on which I cut the parade from glitter cardstock. The gray cardstock base lends a cozy feel with the patterned paper.
On my final card, I used Distress Inks in Festive Berries, Barn Door, and Fired Brick to color white cardstock before cutting the cardstock with the parade die. I heat-embossed the Hero Arts sentiment on to the solid teal cardstock rectangle. To finish, I sprinkled on Taylored Expressions sequins.
Hello! Today, I am sharing a Halloween card featuring the Taylored Expressions Sarcasti-chick dressed for Halloween.
I used the Haunted Cutting Plate as a frame over the Twinkle Twinkle Background, adding a ghost and Spooky Clouds to the scene.
I used the Sarcasti-chick on a non-Halloween card in this post.
