Right as Rain - Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

Penny Black Ship in a Bottle

Ahoy! Today I am sharing a CAS, masculine, nautical-themed card created with the stamp set 30-842 Set Sail from Penny Black. I have always been fascinated with concept of a ship in a bottle (although I have never been inclined to make one!). Anyone else feel as if summer is winding down? I am in the process of making Halloween cards, Christmas cards, as well as summer-themed cards. (A crazy time of year!)

This card has two layers (in addition to the card base) – the ship in the bottle and the sentiment panel. (I could have taken another step in masking to achieve a one-layer image.)

To create the ship in the bottle, I stamped the boat, stamped the bottle around the boat, and stamped the boat and top part of the bottle on masking paper, which I fussy-cut.
I masked the boat image and top of the bottle (cork and seal) before applying inks to the bottle to create a sky and ocean.
I colored the boat, as well as the seal and cork on the bottle, and then fussy-cut the bottle.
For the sentiment panel, I stamped the sentiment and applied inks to create a horizon line for the bottle. I stamped the bottle on to the panel so that the string around the top and the detail of the bottle (on the left-hand side) would be included.
I adhered the bottle to the panel and the assembly to the card base.

Elizabeth Craft Designs – On the Farm

Hello! Today I am sharing another farm-themed card created with Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets. You can see more about the ECD Life is Better on the Farm Collection here. I have shared similar cards created with this collection here and here.

I die-cut the rooster, the hen, and the farmer from cardstock colored with Distress Oxide Inks and assembled the pieces.
I die-cut the grass from cardstock to which I had applied Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.
I die-cut the fence and clouds from white cardstock.
I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to the background and added the die-cut greeting.
I added the layers to the card, popping the hen up with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders August 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share a slimline friendship card created with the Spellbinders August 2021 Large Die of the Month “Hex Kaleidoscope Slimline.” Find out more about this set here.

I combined the Large Die of the Month set with this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Hex Tile Stamps.” To celebrate a new month, I chose a color palette of yellow and shades of orange.

I created a card base from Onyx cardstock.
I cut a frame from Snowdrift cardstock using the two large dies in the set. I used one of the kaleidoscope hex shapes to cut out the center hex (to frame the sentiment).
I heat-embossed the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment in white on to dark orange cardstock and trimmed the piece to fit behind the center open hex.
I backed the open frame with dark orange cardstock. I used the detail frame to cut yellow cardstock and inlaid those tiles into the frame.
To create the kaleidoscopes, I die-cut the top from Snowdrift cardstock, the next layer from light orange cardstock, and the bottom layer from the same dark orange cardstock. I fussy-cut hex shapes from Onyx cardstock and glued the kaleidoscopes.
Once the frame was added to a mat and the card base, I embellished with small blooms cut with a die in the Special Delivery set.

Spellbinders August 2021 Clear Stamp Club

Hello crafty friends! Happy August (this year is zipping by)! I’m delighted to share a card created with the Spellbinders August 2021 Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Hex Tile Stamps.” The stamp set is designed to work with the August Glimmer Hot Foil, Small Die, and Large Die Club Kits. Find out more about the set here.

With the August 2021 Clear Stamp of the Month Club set, I created an A2-size, friendship card by stamping multi-step florals as “one layer” (in the upper-left and bottom-right corners), to which I added additional stamped blooms (which were fussy-cut after they were stamped).

I embellished the card with small, white blooms cut with a die in the Special Delivery set, to which I added Crystal Mix Color Gems.

Spellbinders – Christmas Collection – Be Merry

Hello! Today, I am sharing an A2-sized Christmas card showcasing products from the just-released Be Merry Collection at Spellbinders.

I stenciled white paste through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil on to an A2-sized panel of red, velvet-textured cardstock.
I glimmer-foiled the Gifts of Christmas sentiment in gold on to navy cardstock.
After masking the sentiment, I stenciled white paste through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil. Once dry, I cut the sentiment with a 3 inch circle die.
I die-cut the snowy hills from glitter cardstock with the dies in the Color Block Scenic Scape set and cut them with the 3 inch circle die. I adhered the snow banks to the navy circle.
I die-cut the Chill Bear from Snowdrift cardstock and gold foil.
I die-cut the ornament top from gold foil with a die in the Circle Kaleidoscope Slimline die set. The ornament string was cut with a die in a previously-released Spellbinders Christmas die set.
I added the ornament and bear to the red background.
