Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m delighted to announce that I’m joining the Taylored Expressions team! You can read about it here. I created this card using Taylored Expressions stamps and dies in celebration!
Head on over to the Taylored Expressions blog to enter a giveaway for the Eventful – Night Before Christmas and On Dasher, On Dancer dies!
Supplies:
I’m featured over at the Reverse Confetti Blog today in the CONFETTI CAMERA, whose theme is “Set it Up”!
Here’s a sneak of my set of CAS holiday cards featuring the Layered Snowflake Confetti Cuts set in non-traditional colors:
Today, I’m sharing a holiday card featuring one of the images from Taylored Expressions Deck the Halls, which I colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.
I cut the hill with the Taylored Expressions Build A Scene – Rolling Hills die set and added trees from two other Build a Scene sets – Winter Trees and Central Park. The patch of ice (which I decided to cut in a whimsical color) was cut with a die in the Central Park set. The sentiment is from the TE Share the Light stamp set. The snowflakes were cut with the TE Little Bits – Snowflake Confetti set.

Today, I’m sharing a CAS “thank you” card featuring Avery Elle die cuts and stamps.
I colored watercolor paper with a variety of Distress Inks, and once dry, I cut the paper with the Avery Elle Balloon dies. I stamped the sentiment and balloon strings (which I first stamped off so that the color would be more subtle) on the card base. I used dimensional adhesive to attach the balloons for depth.
Supplies:
On Tuesday, I had a card on the Penny Black Simplicity site featuring one of the darling images from the 30-318 Bewitched set, which I colored with watercolor pencils. I decided to play with the image some more to practice coloring with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens, which I’ve recently purchased.
I stamped the image of the mice on a broomstick from the 30-318 Bewitched set on Strathmore watercolor paper, which I cut with one of the dies in the 51-007 Tagged set after I’d colored it with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens. I added a heat-embossed sentiment from the 30-249 Spooky Spheres set, cut with a die from the 51-003 Chat Bubbles set. While hard to see, the card base has been dry-embossed with the 25-010 Zigs & Zags stencil.
