Right as Rain - Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

Spellbinders | Color Block Valentine

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, color block Valentine created with Spellbinders supplies including a sentiment from the Anemone Blooms Collection designed by Yana Smakula.

Repetition is one of my favorite design principles: I cut sixteen one-inch squares and sixteen hearts from five colors to make a four-inch square.

Cut colored cardstock with Nestabilities Essential Squares die. Tape squares together on the back.
Cut hearts using the heart die in the Parcel & Post Heart Decorations set. (There are three hearts on one die; I used the middle one.) Add hearts to squares with foam adhesive.
Glimmer foil sentiment with Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments plate in Opaque Black on a Snowdrift panel.
Trim panel, add to A2-size card base, add heart assembly.

Lawn Fawn | Winter Cabin

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card, created with Lawn Fawn supplies, that was inspired by the graphics on a coffee bag. I would not have thought to create a red sky. This card could serve for a number of occasions including Christmas, birthday, or “just because.”

Create A2-size card base from red cardstock.
Cut Build-a-Cabin pieces from dark red, gray, Light Brown Woodgrain, Black Licorice, yellow, and white cardstock. Cover back of windows and door with yellow cardstock.
Cut Stitched Mountain Border from white and light teal-blue cardstock. Add snow to mountain tops.
Stamp Snowball Fight sentiment in black on white cardstock and cut with the Forest Border die.
Trim assembled Stitched Mountain Border and Forest Border; add to card base.
Add assembled Build-a-Cabin to scene with foam adhesive. Embellish with snowflakes cut with Mini Snowflakes dies.

Spellbinders | Anemone Blooms Collection

Hello! Today, I am sharing a friendship card created with products in the Spellbinders Anemone Blooms Collection designed by Yana Smakula.

Dry Emboss A2-size Chamomile cardstock with the Intertwined Lattice folder. This was a club kit offering for August 2022 and is now available for individual sale. Attach dry-embossed panel to card base.
Cut Anemones from Purple Mist cardstock. Tape bloom pieces from the back. (I found that if I only made one pass with the cutting machine and carefully removed the die-cut, I was able to keep the bloom pieces in the frame.) Repeat process for second cluster.
Cut center pieces (twice) from Onyx cardstock with the Anemones die. Insert centers into floral clusters.
Cut outline of Anemones from Snowdrift cardstock (twice).
Glue Snowdrift outline to the clusters. Trim away foliage as necessary with precision scissors.
Trim clusters on sides and adhere to the upper-left and bottom-right on the card base.
Cut Wonderful Script Sentiments pieces from Onyx and Vellum; adhere script sentiments to shadows.
Glue sentiment to card center over floral clusters. Embellish with Spectrum Gems.
