Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing a Thank You card created with tropical-color die cuts. (It’s my way of dealing with the winter!)
I cut the Taylored Expressions Beach Border (the palm background) for the portrait orientation; it is wide enough for a card in the landscape orientation.
Supplies: My Favorite Things Joy Ride die set, Taylored Expressions Beach Border
I created a “hello” card to play along with Retrosketches #146.
I paired Penny Black’s 30-237 Dazzlers with a sentiment from the 30-230 Sunny Hello stamp set. I’m really enjoying crafting with colors inspired by sunnier weather!
Hope you’re having a “sunshiny” day!
Today I’m playing along with two challenges – Freshly Made Sketches 167 and ColourQ 273 – with a card created using Reverse Confetti supplies. It’s fun creating with some fresh colors and themes. I love Christmas cards, and I’ll miss making them, but I’m ready for some bright color combinations!
Rather than stamp the flamingo, I simply die cut its body and wing (out of Calypso Coral cardstock), stamping the beak and eye on the body. I stamped the circle and rectangle with the flamingo legs and lined them up.
A little sparkle and shine today with the Penny Black 51-062 Leap of Joy die cut taking center stage (again!). The deer is cut from a brushed gold cardstock. This has certainly been the “year of the deer”!
To the patterned paper card panel, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-066 Crystal Trio set (cut from gold and white glitter cardstock). I cut the Merry sentiment from the 51-021 Love & Joy set and attached it to a banner cut with the 51-027 Triple Banner set.
Today, I’m sharing a “just because” holiday card playing on the Reverse Confetti sentiment -“Tidings of comfort & joy.”
I cut the donut bases with the large and small circles in the Donut You Know Confetti Cut set. Then I cut the icing tops with the icing die and small circle in holiday colors. I added heart sprinkles in red, green and white.
May your holiday week be filled with comfort and joy!
