Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Today, I’m sharing another card created with dies from the new Poppystamps release.
I wanted to create a masculine birthday card with the Galloping Stallion as the focus. I used the Happy Birthday die for a tone-on-tone background. The “yee-haw” sentiment was created on my computer. I die-cut the Superstar Border several times to create a few accent stars.
Supplies: Poppystamps Galloping Stallion 996, Happy Birthday Background 990, Superstar Border 912
There’s been some wonderful inspiration over on the Penny Black Blog using the latest release Sending Hugs. In fact, Penny Black is holding a Sending Hugs challenge – read all about it here.
Today, I’m sharing a card using three stamp sets from the release – ooh la la [30-210], from the heart [30-207] and rose edging [30-206].
I stamped one of the images from rose edging twice on the card base. On a rectangular panel, I stamped and Copic-colored an image from ooh la la, combining it with a die-cut heart which was heat embossed with a sentiment from the from the heart set. I finished the card off with a white ribbon bow.
This week and next, the Poppystamps Design Team is showing off the new Poppystamps release with a Blog Blitz. Today, I’m sharing a card created with one of the new Memory Box stencils, combining it with die cuts from Poppystamps, including the new Barnyard Rooster.
I dry-embossed the stencil and used its reverse side as a background on my card to simulate chicken coop wire. I created the “Congrats!” sentiment on my computer. The inside sentiment reads “That’s something to crow about!”

Happy Wednesday! I’m guesting over on the Penny Black blog today with a card created with stamps from Penny Black’s newest collection — Sending Hugs. I’d love for you to head on over and take a look.
Now that the new year is upon us, I’m craving color, quite possibly because it’s still winter (and dark and cold)!
I added pattern to this card by clear embossing the new Hero Arts Tiny Flags background stamp. The sentiment is from one of my favorite Hero Arts sets – “Heydey Sentiments.” I really like the fonts in that set, especially to add graphic punch.
After finishing that card, I saw this card by Jennifer McGuire and created something similar (albeit simpler) heat embossing the Tiny Flags background with Hero Arts Sparkle embossing powder. (The sparkle doesn’t show up particularly well in the photo, but it lends a subtle shimmer.) I used the Hero Arts “My Favorite” set for the sentiment.
