Sweet Christmas Wishes


It's almost December and before you know it, it will be Christmas morning!  If you celebrate, you may be planning on making some treats for friends and loved ones and today I made a quick tag for just such an occasion!


It's been a while since I used the Santa & Friends die set so I thought the elf would be the perfect add to this tag.  I stamped the sentiment from Sweet Treats and decorated it with the little candy stamp on the set, splattered on some paints, added my elf and a little twine!  Easy peasy!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Come again soon!

Tweet Friend


You're a Tweet Friend!  I used some foiled gel prints to cut out these adorable birds and leaves.  I cut the birdhouse from woodgrain paper.


All of my elements were popped up over a gel print made using the Heirloom Hearts Stencil.

And finally a sentiment on one of the sentiment strips.

Hope you enjoyed your visit!  come again soon!

Snowflake Greetings



Welcome back!  I have some shimmery iridescence for you today!

I started with a blue gel print.  I die cut a snowflake from Easy Cut Adhesive and used it to add some Snow Day transfer foil.  Then I sprayed over the top with Glitter Dust Spray and when it was tacky, I laid a sheet of Magical Shattered Glass over the top and ran it through my laminator.  This is a great way to add Decofoil over any paper and get full foil coverage.



Once the background was done it was easy to add a border using the Sentiment Strips and Top Stitch Edges dies.  I cut the Greetings word and glued it to the white sentiment strip.


Finally I just added a few sequins!  Easy peasy!

Thanks so much for stopping!  Hope you'll come again soon!

Cup of Sunshine


Hello Sunshine!  I'm back with some more caffeinated inspiration for you!

I started with a gel print using the Ornamental Octagon stencil because I thought it was perfect for an autumn creation.  I had some leaves left over from a previous project and you know I love the Fringe Flowers.  I decided for this one it looked like the sunshine and what is my coffee each morning if not a big cup of sunshine!?


A simple sentiment was called for so I cut the Hello from the same paper as the cup and stamped and fussy cut the sunshine word.  Finally a sweet orange glittery heart!


Don't forget the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop is going on through this Friday, the 10th!

Card by Jillian Vance
For this card I took the stencils that come with the Candy Cane die set and Candy Swirls stencil and smushed embossing ink on them. I then used the limited edition Brutus Monroe embossing powder "Bubble Flight"! It created a really cool subtle effect on the mug and candy canes. It took me a few tries, but I finally got it the way I wanted it.
