Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! We have had wild windstorms here in the Pacific Northwest, including one that knocked out power for the day. With gray skies overhead, I created a CAS colorful friendship card.
I combined the Folk Dance die with a sentiment in the Choose Joy set. I created a panel that I adhered to the back of the die-cut card front from a rainbow of Distress Ink Oxide colors.
Hope your day is filled with sunshine (literally and/or metaphorically)!

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Valentine’s Day card created with a combination of die cuts. I have officially moved on from Christmas crafting.
The card spotlights the Elizabeth Craft Designs Birds die set; I dressed the birds for cold weather (one of the things I like about crafting Valentine’s Day cards is an opportunity to extend winter-themed supplies). I used Simon Says Stamps dies for the heart background and the sentiment and framed the scene with a now-retired My Favorite Things die. The base is dry-embossed with a We R Memory Keepers embossing folder.
Happy New Year!
Supplies: Simon Says Stamp On Edge Love You die set, We R Memory Keepers Wood Grain embossing folder
Hello! Today I am sharing two projects created with the recently-introduced Spellbinders Exquisite Splendor Collection by Marisa Job – beautiful botanical dies that can be used for a number of occasions including birthdays and weddings! I used the Tulip Flower Frame Card Creator die set to create the background for both of my CAS cards. Let’s take a look.
On my first project, I began by cutting the card panel with the rectangle die in the Tulip Flower Frame Card Creator set, (the set includes an A2 size 4.25 x 5.50 in. outline frame and an intricate tulip design insert), from Whip Creme cardstock. I then cut the tulip design from the A2 panel. I did this a second time and adhered the layers together. I backed the assembly with coral cardstock. I used the tulip design to cut soft blue, soft yellow, and soft gray pieces which I adhered to the coral base with glue. Having the two layers makes this technique easy!
I dry-embossed a strip of soft yellow cardstock with the Beach Towel embossing folder and added a sentiment stamped with the Every Moment stamp set, cut with a Spellbinders circle die.
My second project is of a similar design, and I followed the same steps as for my first card. I created the sentiment with the Happy Birthday Banner, another die set in the Exquisite Splendor Collection.
I adhered the sentiment letters to a single piece of floss with liquid adhesive and attached the ends of the strings to the back of the dry-embossed strip, which was then adhered to the card base.
Thanks for visiting today!

Hello! Today, I’m delighted to be sharing four projects as part of a Simon Says Stamp blog hop showcasing products from their SENDING SUNSHINE release. The list of stops is included at the end of my post.
My first project features the Flower Cluster die. I cut several cardstock colors with the die and inlaid the petals and leaves. I placed yellow cardstock behind the flower centers (rather than inlay those small pieces). On the card panel, I added Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink to the center and adhered the Big Thanks dies sentiment at an angle in the center of the two floral sprays. The Flower Cluster die could be used any number of ways. For example, inlay only a few flowers or simply cut an outline.
For my next card, I used the Marilyn Full Card die to cut a panel from cardstock colored with Distress Oxide inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, and Picked Raspberry. I used the Big Thanks dies for the sentiment. I shared another card example created with the Marilyn Full Card in this post.
My next card uses the Spring Flower Burst stamp set on a panel colored with Distress Oxide inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick, and Picked Raspberry. I stamped the flower cluster from the set several times and added a few of the individual flowers to fill the space. I added Flickering Butterflies, cut from cardstock colored with the same Distress Oxide inks, and a heat-embossed sentiment. I shared another card example created with the Spring Flower Burst in this post
For my final card, I used the You Are My Sunshine die to create a sentiment to pair with flowers and leaves cut with the Radiant Sunflower die set from cardstock colored with Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide inks. The card background was colored with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink.
Time to get hopping!
