Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
I’m playing along with colourQ challenge #288 with a card showcasing several Penny Black sets.
I don’t believe this is color combination I’ve used before. I stamped the balloons on patterned paper to add some pattern to the design.

Today, I’m sharing a CAS “just because” card featuring the Avery Elle Happy Camper stamp set framed with the Finished Frames Elle-ments.
I chose colors that I felt were outdoorsy – I tried a number of combinations before settling on this combination. I really like the texture that the Finished Frames die provides, like a whip-stitch around the edge.
While one-layer cards can intimidate me, in this case, the stamping area was relatively small so it wasn’t too overwhelming!

Today, I’m sharing a card created for the Retrosketches Challenge featuring the Avery Elle Red & Goldie stamp set, with coordinating Elle-ments dies.
This past weekend, I was able to spend time practicing my Copic coloring (using the lessons from the Online Card Classes Copic Markers class). I’ve had the Avery Elle Red & Goldie set in my collection for a while, and the images are just adorable. I created the speech bubble on my Silhouette intending to stamp a sentiment on it, but then decided to go bold with the die cut Thank You.

Today, I’m playing along with the CAS(E) this Sketch #119 Challenge. This is a really versatile sketch I can see using again and again.
I heat-embossed an Avery Elle sentiment pairing it with balloons, cut with an Avery Elle Elle-ments die set (there are a lot of balloon sizes in the set!), and a wood veneer bike (I glued two bikes together for extra depth). To balance the reverse-type sentiment, I trimmed the edge with black-and-white striped Shape ‘n Tape. The balloon strings were cut on my Silhouette.
Supplies:
I’m playing along with colourQ challenge #287 with a CAS card created with Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts.
I cut the red patterned paper arrows and the ampersand with the Documented Confetti Cuts set. The sentiment is from Arrows ‘n Elements. For some textural interest, I dry-embossed the bottom gray panel.
