Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Tropical colors, relaxing at the beach, flip flops, an iced tea with lemon….it’s summer! I used the Penny Black Summer Fun 30-107 stamp set to create a summer-themed card.
To add variety, I cut the circles with three different sized dies. I adhered the card panel to a black card base for some punch.
Wishing you a sunny day!
As I mentioned earlier in the week, I’m still working through the material from the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2. This shaker card, shared by Kelly Marie Alvarez of Lawn Fawn during the second week of class, is one of the projects that I passed up during class.
The trickiest, and most time consuming, aspect of this card was cutting the foam rings and adhering them to one another and their front and back pieces. It was tricky mainly because you want to make sure the pieces are well adhered and in line with one another. Kelly Marie had Copic-colored the balloons and created custom shaker elements. I simplified this project by choosing patterned papers from the Studio Calico Atlantic pad and using their matching sequins for the shaker elements. 🙂

I’m still working through material from the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2. The class provided a lot of fantastic inspiration that will keep me busy for weeks. I’m sharing two versions of the same design using one of the sketches from the third week.
On my first card, I followed the instructions from Kristina Werner’s class video for adding the twine. The baker’s twine is looped around the back, but the top and bottom sections were done separately. I consider this card to be the “hers” version (using some of the principles and ideas learned in the Online Card Classes His & Hers class).
Because this is a relatively easy card to make, I couldn’t resist making a “his” version. I tied the twine the way that Shari Carroll had done on the card she shared in the class. The twine is three separate pieces that are just taped onto the card back. So much easier than looping around! I added the dashed line, like Kristina had done on her card, as the natural twine on the kraft cardstock called for something extra on the card.
Supplies: Stampin’ Up cardstock (red)

I couldn’t resist crafting a Halloween-themed card with the new Penny Black In a Row die cut (51-001).
I used the same card design as the one I shared in yesterday’s post, stamping the sentiment from the Penny Black Hoot of a Time (40-152) stamp set on a slightly larger die-cut circle. The purple panel has been stamped with the Penny Black Indian Wheel (40-202) background stamp in dye ink.
There are so many possibilities for creating with the new Penny Black In a Row die cut (51-001)!
I added the die-cut birds to the top of a panel stamped with the Penny Black Indian Wheel (40-202) background stamp in dye ink. The card base is stamped in Versafine ink with the Penny Black Moment of Joy (4303F) sentiment stamp. I added a die cut circle for both design and color balance.
