Jingle All The Way - A Jillian Vance Design

Welcome back!  Today I'm sharing a card with some of my fave sets from the AJVD shop and starting on my Christmas cards for next year!  I've used these beautiful Tim Holtz papers again and am loving the vintage feel of them.

I can't get enough of these Jingle Bells dies for sure... and all of the perfect sentiments on the coordinating stamp set!  Such an easy way to create a fun Christmas card.  And it never hurts to add a little Fresh Cut Pine to the mix... here I cut it from some design paper.

And the beautiful Stitched Dot background and Instant Photo Frames work so well together to set off any stamps and dies and I discovered a new favorite!  The Minnie Pearl Bookmark die set is fantastic... but my favorite is the little tassle die that comes in it!!  I used it here to create a little embellishment and cut it from a red and white stripe which was perfect for some multicolored fringe.  I wrapped some silver thread around the top and it was fun to add just a pop of red along with the bows for the bells.

That's me for today!  Thanks so much for stopping!  Hope you have a wonderful holiday!

Jingle Bell Joy With A Jillian Vance Design

Greetings all! I'm up on the blog over at A Jillian Vance Design sharing this all die cut card with you today.  I can't seem to get enough of the Fresh Cut Pine and Jingle Bell Die sets!   I love those bells cut from gold foil cardstock!

Sometimes instead of just using the color cardstock I want with dies, to get a little more texture I like to use plain white cardstock and blend distress inks onto them in the colors I want and cut my shapes from that.  I did this with the pine cones and branches.

And I had fun creating my sentiment using the Headline Type Alphabet dies... these are a fantastic size for a sentiment.  I did cut them three times... once from the design paper and twice from white cardstock to stack them and give them some dimension.  When I cut them from the design paper, since it was striped I used some washi tape to keep them in place.

Finally I just attached everything with various thicknesses of foam tape (I collect all kinds of thicknesses and widths of foam tape... it is THE most used supply in my craft room.) and
I added some gems as berries and then some sequins in traditional Christmas colors.  To really be sure the gems and sequins are attached and to attach anything I didn't pop up,  I used some fantastic Just Glue It adhesive from the shop.

I'm playing along over at Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge which is Traditional Christmas and Double Trouble's Wrap It Up Challenge to use some Christmas Design Paper and I've met the twist to use a bow!  And DT is partnering with Artsy Stamper's Challenge to create something with a Winter Holiday theme and I'm playing along over there too!

Thanks so much for stopping today and be sure to come again soon for more inspiration!

25 Days of Christmas Tags with A Jillian Vance Design!

It's A Jillian Vance Design's turn over at the 25 Days of Christmas Tags Event!  It's a month long celebration of the Christmas Tag!  Lots of sponsors are taking turns on the blog and sharing tags made with their products.  You can have chances to win prizes by commenting or playing along!  To play along just choose a tag from any of the Sponsor posts that inspires you and create yours with inspiration from that.  Link it up and share whose tag you were inspired by and from what day!

Here's mine for today:

I started with the Minnie Pearl Tag die set and cut both the larger and smaller tag from Kraft.  Then I stamped snowflakes onto the large tag from the Let It Snow and Jingle All The Way stamp sets in Versamark and embossed with Wow Gold Embossing Powder.  I added some Nuvo drops in white randomly in between the gold snowflakes because I knew I wanted to stamp my sentiment from Jingle All The Way in white onto the smaller tag and it would help to bring the two together.

And this Jingle Bell die set!!  You need this in your life!  I used the largest of the bells cut from gold foiled paper.  I also cut a couple branches from the Fresh Cut Pine die set and layered it all together.  While trying to decide on glitter Jingle Bells or foil Jingle Bells, I ended up with some glittery stars that made a nice little embellishment and some extra bows.  All it took was some baker's twine with gold in it to finish it off!

So that's me!  Hope you enjoyed it!  Be sure to head on over to the 25 Days of Christmas Tags post for today and check out what everyone else has created with some beautiful A Jillian Vance Design products!  Hope you'll play along and can't wait to see how you were inspired!
