Some of my favorite projects

This is a card that I sent to my Aunt. I punched out the pennants from brown cardstock and plaid paper. I embossed the edge with the tulips embossing folder. The sentiment outside and inside were stamped with A Jillian Vance Design Stitches set available here: http://www.ajillianvancedesign.com

"My Story" Scrapbooking card

Hi,

This my newest creation. I wanted a tag that I could put in a scrapbook. I am not sure if I want to journal on it or not. The quality of the photo is not great because I have my own shadow in the picture! Anyway, I used ecru cardstock, a turquoise stamp pad and a red stamp pad. I cut the typewriter out of Jillibean Soup Sweet and Sour Soup Crushed Tomato paper. The notebook and My Story are from A Jillian Vance Design stamps. This my very well be my favorite stamp. It brings back memories of buying school supplies every year and that was always so fun. This stamp and many more can be found at http://www.ajillianvancedesign.com Until next time, have fun!

Fund$ Gift Card Holder

Hello, Friends

I had a precut olive green gift card holder. I covered the outside with Jillibean Soup-Sweet and Sour Soup- Raisins paper. the paper is double-sided and the back is all typerwirter keys. I thought that it looked a little like money when I made a flower out of it. The inside flower is striped. I stamped the saying on ecru paper. This can be found at: http://www.ajillianvancedesign.com

The name of the set is I Am My Hair.

Until next time, I hope you have lots of Fund$ to support your papercrafts habit!

Notebook Give Thanks card

It is Thankful Thursday and how fitting that I start a bible study today!


Supplies for this card:

Kraft cardstock

Off-white cardstock

Turquoise Stamp pad

Various colored markers

A Jillian Vance Design Notebook set

A Jillian Vance Design Autumn Leaves set

Hole punch


I just loved this way this pumpkin looked a little like a sketch (If only I could draw like that). I stamped the notebook paper with Turquoise ink, cut it out, punched the holes out and stamped "Just a Note" and the Give Thanks bible verse in Brown. I colored the pumpkin in various colors and stamped it at the bottom. I mounted the page on Kraft cardstock. Inside I tore a part of another stamped notebook sheet and stamped the sentiment on that. This little notebook page is wonderful for scrapbook journalling, too. Both of these sets can be found at:

Black and Maize Halloween card

Hello, Friends!

I am sharing this card design with you. I used black and maize cardstock. I stamped the Witch from the Witchy Poo set, the bat and Happy Halloween from the Eye on Halloween set, the cat and large spider from the Spooky set, the little spiders from the God's Art set, and the mini stitch hanging from the large spider are from More Stitches. After stamping, I cut the tops of each piece at an angle and attached them to the front of the card. I inked the edges in red to help them stand out. On the inside, I stamped the sentiment on maize cardstock, left enough room for a signature, cut it out at an angle and attached it.

All these cute stamps used on this card can be found at:

I would love your comments! Until next time, have fun!

I cut the corner out and inked the edges brown. I stamped the sentiments outside and inside with olive ink. The small leaf was stamped just like the corner and I made the bubble cap with the Epiphany Shape Studio Tool.

Grill and Candle Birthday Card for a Man

One of my favorite designs for a male card is this one.  I love craft cardstock for cards especially for men.  I used this for two men I know that turned the Big 5-0 this year.  I cut the grill from Cricut Everyday Paper Dolls with red cardstock.  I used a brick color of cardstock and ran it through my Sizzix Texture Fades in Brick to give it the real look of a brick patio.  "Grill Master",  "Where there is smoke, there are lots of candles!" and "Happy Birthday" are all from A Jillian Vance Design stamp set entitled " Celebrate Men".  (I like to think they appreciated the work put into it, even if they didn't appreciate what the verse inferred.)  Ha, Ha!   Got you aging guys!

Stiches and Hems card

Hi, Friends!  This card is made from paper from Doodlebug Designs, Inc. Nifty Notions collection.  I cut the sewing machine out from the paper also.  I like that some of the double-sided paper is in plain colors that coordinate with the prints.  The stiches are stamped, along with the sentiments, from A Jillian Vance Designs stamps.  They are super versitile as you can see!

Beach chair card

This may be a little hard to make out in the picture but the front has been stamped with sunglasses, Life's a Beach and a fish.  The inside has a pop-up beach chair cut on my Vagabond with the Sizzix die.  The Blue on the front and the waves inside are from Colorbok Water Waves paper.  The flip-flops are K&Company stickers.  "Make a Splash" and all the stamps are from A Jillian Vance Design Make a Splash set.
