Three Seasons Cardinal

Thank you for joining me today! Catch me over on the A Jillian Vance Design Blog today!

I was so excited when we got our new Cardinal Die, first I love Red Birds and see many which reminds me that my dad is watching over us! Second...I actually designed and drew this die!  (Jillian lets me do that at times!) I am not an artist by any means but have learned over the years to merge shapes to create what I want to create in Illustrator and it is like a fun game for me!

So after making several Christmas cards, I thought, THIS bird doesn't have to be RED!

So here he is dressed up as a Blue Jay for Spring.

Beautiful Rose!

I am in love with this new Stamp and Die Collection! Sadly I lost my uncle a couple weeks ago.  Even though they lived 50 miles from us, we all were close as he would bring the family over every weekend when my grandparents were living to see them and what fun times we had! I couldn't wait for weekends looking forward to seeing my cousins! The same cousins who scrap and make cards, who I told I would NEVER become a paper crafter because of my love of sewing...Jillian changed all that!  Never say never!

Same card, just added some watercolor which gives a totally different look! See the recipe below for both cards.

Let me tell you about this new Stamp and Die collection.  The stamp set is a 4 x 6 stamp set featuring the long stemmed rose as well as the rose that matches the die.  The long stemmed rose matches also you just will need to trim off the leaves. The stamp set also features the word "beautiful" that you can arrange the other sentiments around AND it matches the die exactly! So stamp and layer as you wish! I love to watercolor with Distress Inks, so this is a great set to play with some color combinations! The Die Set features 3 dies:  a die that cuts the outer edge around stamp, a die that cuts the same inner lines as the stamp as well as the "beautiful" word die that is the same size as the stamp.
You can also use the outer die to mat the inner outlines on to give a small border as shown in white behind the roses on the above cards. So you can do SO MUCH with these two products!You can purchase the Beautiful Rose Stamp Set here  and the Beautiful Rose Die Set here or purchase as a combination set HERE! I am hoping once Jillian's classes are done she will be doing a video to show you all the ways to use this amazing collection! AND I am betting there will be more in the works as this is such a fun yet elegant set!
