Is it s Flag or is it a Banner?

Is it s Flag or is it a Banner?

I love this new set!!!  Jillian designed this back in October! But good things take time and the design/prototype process is months long :)  So NOW introducing the Flag/Banner die and Everyday Flags stamp set!                                    First up my Ohio State Layout using the following AJVD {die}signs:  Emerald Cut {die}mond for the Ohio State Block O, {die}signer Pocket to hold the tickets and {die}licious Flag set for the banner.  I used Labels 8 for the photo and background.   Stamp used was Ohio Game Day.  Canvas Corp paper was used ~ love that stuff!!!

This card I made for a very special little lady.  She is the daughter of a very good friend of mine and she turned 16 last week! She was born with Down Syndrome and a heart defect.  The first six months of her life we weren't sure God was going to let them keep her.  Just a very trying time for her parents and siblings of medical issues one after the other.  Well 16 years later she is a happy healthy teenager in our local high school!  This card is for her!                                                           I used Canvas Corp papers! Again!                                   AJVD  {die}licious Flag Set  folded over Jewelry pins                                    AJVD {die}signer Pocket                                          Money Money Stamp Set                                    Everyday Flags Stamp Set for the "Sweet" word         A {Little} Love Stamp set for the Happy              Type Star Font for the 16

This card is one we are doing for a class in Akron in April. We used the {die}licious Flag set for the sentiment layer.  A very simple but fun card that takes 4 - 3inch circles folded in 4ths {I used dictionary paper}, 4 - 2 1/2 inch scalloped circles folded in 4ths and a 3/4 circle or button for the center.  Sentiment is from Flower Power Stamp Set.  Paper used on this card is from Prima.

This is a very simple but elegant card!   I cut 10 layers of black tissue paper with the scalloped circles Spellbinders dies.  The sentiment is from Happy Anniversary and stamp in Silver ink on one of our  Emerald Cut {die}mond die cuts.  The flag is our {die}licious Flag set and the outline is from the Every Day Flags and the numbers from Swirly Monograms.

It was embossed with the new Spellbinders M-Bossabilities.

As you can see this has so many possibilities!   Just leave it up to your imagination!

Hope you enjoyed my layout and cards today be sure and visit all the design team members for great ideas and Sneak Peeks!

Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend and so are You!

Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend and so are You!

Both of these cards were created using the Emerald Cut {die}mond Nesting Die Set and the {die}monds, Diamonds Stamp set.  Both give totally different looks.

The first card dressed in Black, I wanted to give the effect of a Emerald Cut Diamond ring. I layered Silver glitter paper with black to give it a 3 D effect and pop dotted the top two layers. I used Silver pigment ink for the border and sentiment.
I cut a strip of the silver glitter paper and added the Rinkle Ribbon on top.


You are a Gem of a Friend
For my second card dressed in White, I used Emerald glitter paper and Library Green Archival ink for the border and sentiment.  Also Want 2 Scrap Baby Bling to accent the sentiment  ~ it just fits perfectly!  I then pop dotted the top layer to give it dimension and used wire edged ribbon for the bow.

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

Bonjour Monsieur Moustache!

Bonjour Monsieur Moustache!

When Jillian told me she wanted a Moustache set, I was like "Oh that is a trend that will end soon".  Well 4 months later, it is getting bigger instead of going away ~ so she designed the set and I love it!  I used the die template to stencil the inside of the smaller {die}mond die.

Recipe:

Bella Blvd paper ~ grey

Tim Holtze Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass to stencil with
