Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Welcome to the first day of the Neat & Tangled July Release.
Today, I’m sharing a card created with the Everyday Circles stamp set, one of three sets releasing this week. I also added some dots from the Party Dots stamp set.
Head on over to the Neat & Tangled Blog to see the rest of the Design Team projects and to enter the giveaway for this set along with some sequins!! The July release stamp sets go on sale Friday, July 12.
Supplies: VersaMagic and VersaColor inks
Another fun day in the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2 class.
Of course, short on time, I decided to choose a technically challenging card! Let’s just say that the perfectionist inside of me had a few fits. My card is based on one shared by Joy Taylor.
I switched up the supplies a bit, as I don’t own the ones that she used.
Supplies: Memory Box cardstock; MME enamel dots; Technique Tuesday Awesome stamp set; Spellbinders circle dies; Hero Arts Granite shadow ink
Welcome! It’s time for another Pinspired Challenge. The photo is for you to interpret anyway you want. Be inspired by the colors, the style, the theme – it’s up to you!
This challenge is sponsored by My Time Made Easy who are offering the winner the template of their choice from their online store.
I drew inspiration from the color scheme and the gingham pattern in the photo. For my card, I used one of the My Time Made Easy kits – Grammy’s Sewing Kit. I fussy cut the digital images (as I don’t own a Silhouette) that I had recolored in Photoshop.
Now, it’s your turn. Head on over to the Pinspired Challenges blog to see the creations from the rest of the “Pin Heads” and find out the details for playing along. Three runner ups will be chosen and win a “Pin Pal” badge for their blog. A winner, who will also be chosen by the “Pin Heads,” will win a “Pin Perfect” badge for their blog along with the prize from My Time Made Easy. We can’t wait to see your creations!
There were three fabulous sketches and a color scheme provided in today’s lesson for the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2 class.
My card is based on the one shared by Jennifer McGuire. I chose a couple different supplies than the ones that Jennifer used, but otherwise my card is very similar. I put Creative Tape onto the back of white cardstock before I cut layers of the sentiment to give the sentiment some depth on the card. I added Creative Tape to the blue cardstock as well. I’ve found that using Creative Tape makes it easy to adhere those delicate die cuts to one another and to the card base.
Supplies: Mama Elephant Water Blooms; Hero Arts Out of Print background stamp; VersaMagic, Stampin’ Up and Memento Luxe inks; Paper Smooches die; Hero Arts gems; Memory Box cardstock
As the Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2 kicks off tomorrow, I’m sharing a card I made based on one by Jennifer McGuire from Summer Card Camp 2011. When I took that class two years ago, I owned only a few stamps, one ink pad, and I had no idea what I was getting into! When I saw Jennifer’s card at the time, I had absolutely no idea how to make it and certainly didn’t own the tools or stamps to make it.
I stamped watercolor paper with the Out of Print background stamp, die cut into hearts, and then watercolored them with Distress Inks.
One of my favorite aspects of the Summer Card Camp classes are the fabulous color combinations that I wouldn’t necessarily consider on my own. Jennifer’s card was colored with blues and greens. I chose a variation of another color scheme shared in the class for my card.
Can’t wait for the class to start! Have a great day!
