Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a summer-themed lighthouse scene crafted with Taylored Expressions dies.
I’ve already proclaimed my love for the red, white and blue (in this case navy and a chambray blue) color scheme, especially during the summer. I added a little yellow to energize the scene. The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set.
Supplies: Taylored Expressions Little Bits – Lighthouse, Little Bits – Sailboat, Build A Scene – Rolling Waves, Build A Scene – Rolling Hills
I liked this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge so much, I created another card with the sketch using Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts!
I stamped images from the Reverse Confetti Petals ‘n Posies set with pigment inks and cut them with their corresponding Confetti Cuts. I stamped the sentiment from Peacock Pretties and cut it with a die in the Stitched Flag Confetti Cuts set. I cut the cardstock frame with a square die inside a rectangular one. The frame is adhered to the blue panel with dimensional adhesive for some depth.
Hello ‘Fetti Fans! Here’s a sneak at a summer-themed, wall art project I created for the Reverse Confetti Newsletter showcasing the Reverse Confetti die cut sets Love & Ice Cream and Let’s Chill.
The newsletter includes projects crafted with Reverse Confetti projects, along with the inspiration for the projects. I was inspired by an illustration by Lauren Gentry.

I’m delighted to be a guest designer this week for the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #132.
Here’s my take on the sketch featuring a combination of Taylored Expressions die cuts:
To begin, I created a frame panel by die cutting with a nesting die. Next, I cut the Taylored Expressions Beach Border, onto which I had heat embossed the sentiment, and trimmed it, taping it to the back of the frame panel. I added the die cut sandcastle and flip flops to the beach border with dimensional adhesive. I adhered a yellow panel onto the heavyweight card base for the background. To finish, I adhered the white frame panel to the card base with dimensional adhesive.

Today, I’m sharing two cards featuring Penny Black stamps #40-376 Winged Beauty and #30-297 Sprinkles and Smiles.
For both cards, I stamped the sentiment from #30-297 Sprinkles and Smiles first. I coloredthe bird on a branch and the branch images (from the #40-376 Winged Beauty set), with Memento markers before stamping. I tried a number of color combinations before selecting Bahama Blue, Tangelo, Bamboo Leaves and Rosebud. For the horizontal card, I cut the stamped panel with a rectangle die and adhered it with dimensional adhesive to a woodgrain-embossed cardstock.
For my second card, I stamped directly onto the card base for a one-layer card and used a vertical design.
