Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Happy December! I am thrilled to announce that I am one of the new Simplicity Sisters for Penny Black!! There is a new blog dedicated to using Penny Black stamps and creative dies in a clean and simple way.
To celebrate I created a CAS holiday card in one of my favorite color schemes with the 51-062 Leap of Joy die cut taking center stage. I stamped the background with a sentiment from 30-132 Yuletide Greetings.
To those of you in the US – Happy Thanksgiving! And to all else – Happy Thursday! Reverse Confetti is celebrating with a fantastic discount off your entire order!
Today I’m playing along with the Merry Monday Challenge #136 – using the colors red, green and white.
For my card, I used the Die-namites Fancy Birdhouses die to cut white, green and red cardstock. I used a Taylored Expressions die to cut the bird. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.
It’s rainy and dark here in the PNW – this color combination really cheers me up!
Today, I’m sharing a card featuring the new Warmest Wishes stamp set from My Favorite Things in a color combination I don’t think I’ve ever used before!
I Copic-colored the adorable girl from the set, pairing her with a circle stamped and heat embossed with the Star Background and a sentiment from Cheerful Christmas Greetings. The white panel was cut with the stitched die in the Blueprints 13 set. (One of my most used dies!) In terms of the colors, I found that the green Copics blended well. I first tried using shades of red for her coat, but I was much happier with the results using green. One fun thing about coloring – you can try as many different combinations as you heart desires!
