Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m playing along with ColourQ #297 with a CAS card featuring die cut birds in the challenge colors of navy, red and pool.
I cut the birds with the Taylored Expressions Birds and Branch die set (there are four birds in the set, I used three of the bird shapes). I added a sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Hip Notes set, stamped in navy on white cardstock, trimmed with a Spellbinders rectangle die. The sentiment and the birds were adhered to the kraft base with dimensional adhesive.
It’s time for another AEI♥U Challenge! This month’s theme is Sparkle!
Here’s my take on the AEI♥U Challenge Sparkle Challenge:
I created a birthday card for someone turning 50 – if there’s ever a time to bring out the glitter, 50 is it! I die cut the Numbered Balloons out of glitter paper and attached silver May Arts twine to them with tape on the back. I stamped the skyline from the Avery Elle Super set with Versamark ink, heat embossed with American Crafts silver glitter embossing powder, and cut it out with the corresponding die. I stamped the sentiment from Party Animal on the card base. I adhered the balloons with dimensional adhesive, taping down the strings. I placed the skyline over the balloon strings with dimensional adhesive as well.
There’s no limit to how you can interpret sparkle for this challenge!

Today I’m sharing a birthday card created with Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.
I stamped the lion from Leaping Lions, along with the party hat and presents from Monkey Business with Memento ink and colored the images with Copic markers. I used the corresponding Confetti Cuts to cut them and adhered them to a dry-embossed panel with dimensional adhesive. I heat embossed a sentiment from Fancy Word Coordinates on black cardstock and finished the card with rainbow patterned paper and twine.
Today, I’m sharing a CAS “just because” card crafted with Taylored Expressions die cuts in Fourth of July colors.
I created the houses with the Build A House die set and stamped a Stampin’ Up sentiment in pigment ink on the heavyweight white cardstock base. Red, white and blue is my favorite summer color combination!
