Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch #127 – another terrific and versatile sketch!
Here’s my take on the sketch:
I used Reverse Confetti’s Peacock Pretties to create a tone-on-tone pattern on blue and gray cardstock, which I the cut into squares with a Nestabilities die. I cut two anchors (for additional depth) with the Paper Smooches die. (I have several anchor dies; this one was the perfect size.) The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up’s Simply Wonderful set.
Today I’m sharing a card for the occasion on which you need to say “Sorry”! The Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set is one I grab as soon as the sun is out! So many great images.
I stamped and colored the crabs with Copic markers, and then I cut them out with their corresponding die. The background was dry embossed with the Tim Holtz Waves folder. I used twine to finish it off.
Welcome! This month’s creative hop started on the Reverse Confetti blog, and you should have made it here from Lisa’s blog. It would be worth your while to start at the beginning of the hop, so you don’t miss a thing. We have tons of inspiration for you!
I’m sharing a gift/treat packaging idea for Father’s Day created with Reverse Confetti stamps and dies.
The packaging base was created with Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts to which I added clouds (Sun ‘n Clouds Confetti Cuts) and the airplane and propeller from Here We Go Confetti Cuts.
I added a tag die cut with the Folded Tag Confetti Cuts set. For the tag front, I stamped a sentiment from Fancy Word Coordinates repeatedly (first and second generation). I cut the stamping out at an angle and added the “DAD” stickers.

Another great sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch!
My take on the sketch with Penny Black’s 40-238 Floral Applique used for the floral element.
I stamped the sentiment for 30-160 Friendship. I pulled out the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for this one!
I’m playing along with ColourQ #293 with a CAS card featuring floral images Penny Black’s Flower Sparks stamp set.
I used Post-it notes to mask when I stamped the 30-281 Flower Sparks images, so that I could have the stems a different color than the blooms. I added a sentiment from the versatile set 30-283 Snippets before cutting the image with a square die cut and matting it with another white cardstock square. The Island Indigo card base is 4 1/4″ square.
