Happy Birthday here's Your Money Tree

Happy Birthday ~ here's Your Money Tree

Well my hubby is always talking about he just can't find that money tree! So Jillian decided to take the God's Art tree and add Dollar signs on it to make it an Money Tree!

I used a navy card base, polka dot paper from my stash and my FAVORITE Kraft paper for my {die}signer Pocket! I used Coffee Archival Ink for my tree, Crimson for the sentiment and Cobalt for the box border all from the NEW stamp set Money, Money!!!

I then tied a red bow out of Rinkle Ribbon {sold at our consumer shows} and stamped from the A {Little} Love Stamp set the Happy and Day and the B is from Swirly Monograms!

The Flags were made with an upcoming A Jillian Vance Design die!!! and added to a silver pin from the jewelry making section of our local craft store.

Ok, so I just noticed ~ I forgot to put money or a gift card in it before taking the photo! ~ Sorry!

Thanks for joining me today come back tomorrow for more Sneak Peeks!

Cards for Hurting Families

This has been a sad week for the kids at Jillian's school, one of their classmates died from injuries from a 4 wheeler accident. Another student was also involved but was only slightly injured. Both were classmates and cheerleaders together for the 7th grade teams at Jillian's school. Alana was in Tavaci ~ a show choir a few years ago with Jillian and also in her Choir class this year. Just been a very sad time for students and teachers this week. Parents, hug your kids a little tighter!

So for Alana's family I made this card. I do not know her parents or siblings but can't imagine what they are going through.

Recipe:

Cream Card: Canvas Corp.

Black Layer: Emerald Cut {die}mond Nested Dies

Cross layers: {die}vine Cross Combo Die Set using Cream Cardstock, Canvas Corp Black and Cream Polka Dot

Cross Stamps: {die}vine Easter Stamp set and With Sympathy from {die}monds, Diamonds Stamp set.

Ribbon: Rinkle Ribbon by AJVD

Inside Sentiment: Look to your family for comfort, you friends for understanding and God for peace. from Prayerful Thoughts Stamp set

Then I wanted to send the other family involved a card also as I can't imagine what they too are going through. I have known them forever and they are wonderful people as are their parents. The maternal grandfather was one of my softball coaches that I dearly loved and they all sit behind us at the football games, they are a lot of fun to be around. Just good families.

Well this was a hard card as what do you say as I know they are dealing with the pain also. This sentiment is from a new set coming up so watch for it Mid March! It was already created before this happened so it was a perfect fit!
Recipe:
Card: Black card stock
Polka Dot Layer: Emerald Cut {die}mond Nested Dies and Canvas Corp paper in Black and Ivory dot
Sentiment Layer: {die}namic Duo Die Set and Canvas Corp papers from their Ivory/Black 6 x 6 paper pad
Sentiment: From an unnamed stamp set to be revealed Mid March :) Really we haven't named it yet!
Flower: old sewing pattern tissue
Button: Epiphany Crafts Button 20 Round
Twine: Licorice Divine Twine
Ribbon: Black AJVD Rinkle Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by today, I would love for you to leave me a comment.

Blessings,

Bunny

Bad Hare Day! and Hang'n with my Peeps ~ Really!

Bad Hare Day!

I love this little card! Using paper from my stash I have an A2 card plus the argyle layer. Then I used our Emerald Cut {die}mond Nested Die Set. for the base the bunny would go on. Then I used the A Jillian Vance Design {die}namic Duo die set for the bunny layer and sentiment layer.

I also used Peepster stamp set as well and Divine Twin in Aqua and Cotton Candy for the "hair" and around the Emerald Cut {die}mond shape. Want 2 Scrap Baby Bling in pink completes this card!

********************
Hang'n with my Peeps ~ Really!

So I just couldn't resist!

I used the Spellbinders Label 8 for the card base and layer

Stamped with A Jillian Vance Design Tiny Dots in Magenta Hue Archival Ink

then some teal brads and Divine Twine in Aqua.

A Jillian Vance Design Silver Pear Pins hold the Peeps on the Twine!

I stamped the Peeps from the Peepster Stamp Set in Magenta Hue and Aquamarine Archival Ink.

The Peeps are stamped on die cuts of an upcoming A Jillian Vance Design custom Spellbinder die!

*******************************

Here is another card I did just for fun, it has mint green instead of aqua as I did this one when we got the stamp set to sample and make sure all was well! I used the Spellbinders Labels 8 for the green background layer. Then A Jillian Vance Design {die}namic Duo die set for the bunny layer and sentiment layer.
I also used Peepster stamp set as well and Divine Twin in Green Apple and Rinkle Ribbon in Cotton Candy

With All my Heart!

I loved this challenge! Ruby set the theme as "All About Hearts"! Well I used a 6 x 6 Kraft card, then layered it with Jillibean Soup's Valentine paper. Then cut out hearts from Plantin Schoolbook at 2 inches, leaf hearts are 3/4 inches as well as the butterfly hearts.

I used More Stitches Stamp Set for the stems and stitching thru the flower hearts all with Archival Library Green ink. Sentiment is stamped in Black Archival and from both the AJVD Valentine/Love Stamp sets ~ Sending My Love and A {Little} Love.

Then the butterfly was cut from Kraft paper and inked with Dusty Concord Tim Holtz Distress Ink and some Want 2 Scrap Black Baby Bling was added.

Ribbon is AJVD Rinkle Ribbon in gold!

You hold the Key to my Heart and New Dies!

I just whipped this card up and it is one of my all time FAVORITES!

At CHA (Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show) we took the Journal with Jewels Class and we are so Blessed that we did! First we got to meet Julianna Hudgins who is a new designer with Spellbinders and a total sweetheart!!! You can find her HERE. Then we got DIES!!! YES more DIES!!! Love them.

Her new line is called Positively Me. That Key on my card is one of her dies! Is it not just darling!!!

So the background is one of A Jillian Vance Design's new {die}signs: Emerald Cut {die}mond Nested Die Set found HERE. You can pre-order, expected shipping late February.

I then stenciled with Festive Berries Distress Ink on the while layer then stamped AJVD's BRAND NEW Background stamp: Quatrefoil {found here} in Gold Pigment ink with the die still on top of the paper so I didn't get it on the edges.

I inked the edges with Ranger Gold Adirondack Paint Dabber and also used it on the key.

The Heart is a Spellbinder die with AJVD's Tiny Dots background stamp on top in Gold Ink.

The sentiment stamp in Black Archival ink is from Sending my Love found HERE and topped off with Rinkle Ribbon and AJVD Pear Pins in Antique Brass!
