Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello from the snowy Pacific Northwest! We received almost a foot of snow overnight. Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine created with the Marianne Design Eline’s Penguin and Igloo & Mountain sets (I purchased the sets from 123 Stitch).
I paired the assembled penguins and igloo with a sentiment that I created on my computer and cut with a snow slope die.
Patterned paper from my stash filled in the background.
Hope your week is off to a terrific start!
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!
