Lifetime of Adventure

Hello!  I'm back with some Live To Ride!  I had this cool gel print and I thought it would make the perfect background for this motorcycle image.  I just added some Transfer Gel Duo through the Diamond Plate stencil and then let dry to tacky and used hand pressure to apply some Iridescent Deco Foil over the top.

I stamped, cut and colored the motorcycle and decided instead of having it sitting flat, that a wheelie might be fun!

And honestly, the sentiments on this set are just some of my faves... many are perfect with or without the bike.  It's really just a fabulous set!

Thank you so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

Blooming Tin Shadow Box

Hello, Bunny here and I am back with a really fun project. 

I already made a shadow box using several of Jillian's floral dies including the new Bold Blooms Mega Die Set and her Garden Mum Mega Die Set. 

We displayed it at the Akron stamp show and everyone loved it. Photos of that coming soon. It has glass so I have struggled getting a good photo without a reflection!

Walking through Target the other day,  I found this small round metal tray in the Dollar Spot! Immediately I thought that would be perfect for a shadow box!

I started cutting the Bold Blooms Mega Die Set  in white cardstock, then the Garden Mum Mega Die Set in a beautiful rusty red cardstock!

To create these beautiful roses using the Bold Blooms Mega Die Set, you will need 4 of the largest size. This is also if you want to create smaller ones, just cut 4 of the largest size you want them to be.

Two of those, you will turn the petals down, then the other two you will turn the petals up. I use the Petal Pusher and Shape Up Mat. You can also use the Petal Pusher and use it as if you were curling ribbon by holding the die cut in the middle and curling those petals either up or down.

Then you will need 2 of each of the smaller sizes, in which you turn so they fill in the spaces in the petals, so they are offset from each other.

 I recommend only using 3 or 4 more sets, that way it leaves the rose a little open in the middle. Those will need the petals curled up, so they curl in towards the center. I used the Delightful Daisy Jr Die Set for the leaf on the roses.

For the Mums, you will cut 2 of each of the sizes of the Garden Mum Mega Die Set, plus on this I used the medium and small center and layered them together.

The petals I curled up slightly to make a cupped shape. Layer as many as you wish, just offsetting them to create fullness. The leaves are from the same set.

I added some Budding Branches in chocolate cardstock.

To attach the flower blossoms, I used foam dots and foam tape. I used Jillian's Just Glue It for the leaves and branches.

I am so happy with how it came out! I glued, using Just Glue It and a 3M hanger on the back so I can hang it in the show booth for all to see!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Blooming Birthday!

Hello and Happy Thursday! 

These weeks just fly by!

Today I have a card that really drew a lot of attention at the show!

Everyone is loving the Bold Blooms Mega Die Set.

It is so versatile as it can be shaped to look like a poppy, or a rose!

And the possibilities are endless with your imagination and ability to shape it how you want it! 

First I started with a white Slimline Essentials Backdrop for my card base, then added the Slimline Signature Polka Dot Cover Plate. 

Cut the Flower Pot in Kraft cardstock, stamped with a sentiment from Welcome Spring Stamp Set in Jet Black Archival. 

To create the stem, I used the Top Stitch Edges Die Set, it brand new and has unlimited possibilities as well!

the leaves are cut from Garden Mum Mega Die Set.

The Poppy is cut from Bold Blooms and using my Petal Pusher and Shape Up Mat, I shaped the petals down so they pop off the card. I then adhered it using a foam dot so it kept the shape of the petals and didn't flatten them out.

I just used the smaller petal layers to create the little blooms. I used a Want2Scrap Baby Bling in Black in the middle of them, and a larger one in the middle of the large bloom.

My card from May 3rd, was very similar using the Garden Mum Mega Die Set. Both are awesome sets that can be shaped in so many ways!

I Turned Out Awesome

Hello!  Today I have a masculine card that I created for my dad for Father's Day!  He's always loved sailing whenever he had a chance so I decided to give his card a nautical theme.

I started with a red gel print and added stars using the Scattered Stars Stencil and some Transfer Gel Blanco.  then I ran it through with some Magical Shattered Glass Deco Foil... hard to see here, but it was a used sheet and left a very subtle sparkle over the entire card.  I die cut the waves and corner decoration from a light blue gel print and the sailboat from another red one.

I used one of the birds from the Feathered Friends set and colored it up to look like a seagull (kind of?)...lol!

Finally I added a couple sentiments from the Father's Day Stamp Set onto a sentiment strip... I think this one is perfect... and SO true!

That's me for today!  Thank you so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

Happy College Graduation 2023!

Welcome back!  I had some extra Bold Blooms leftover from my pastel rainbow shaker and I thought I'd use them to create a fun background!

I cut a panel 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and glued the blooms randomly over it filling in with the tiniest blooms.  Then I ran it through my die cutting machine with the Stitched Dot Rectangle die.  Then I cut the grad cap and tassle in coordinating colors, as well as the strips and Emerald base for the sentiment.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from the College Grad stamp set and cut it out with a smaller Emerald and popped it all up onto the Bold Blooms base.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping and hope you'll come again soon!

Spill The Tea

Happy Monday!  I've got some tea to spill today!    Have you hopped through the Spring/Summer 2023 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop yet?  A Jillian Vance Design is a sponsor and when you're done here you can start hopping at this post here!

Before you go though I'd like to tell you a little bit about this one!  I used the Afternoon Tea Die Set along with the steam from Cozy Cup.  I started with a gel print foiled with some Iridescent Deco Foil.  I added some Transfer Gel Duo over the top with the Heirloom Hearts Stencil and let it dry to a tacky feel and then applied some Magical Shattered Glass Deco Foil with hand pressure and my Stencil Pal.  Finally I used one of the new Top Stitch Edges Dies and cut a die cut rectangle panel and added it over the foiled panel.

The Teapot and Fleur De Lis were cut from cardstock and the cup from a floral print Design Paper.  I cut the steam from some left over Iridescent foiled gel print and cut some of the Itsy Bitsy Flowers from another foiled Gel Print.  I arranged them all onto the card front with varying thicknesses of foam tape and glue and stamped a sentiment from Spill The Tea.

Now don't forget to head over and hop through by Friday, May 12th for your chance to win some fabulous crafty prizes.  And start here on last Friday's post on the A Jillian Vance Design Blog!!

Thanks for stopping!  Come again soon!
