Buck, Doe & Fawn Die by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing cards made using the Buck,
Doe & Fawn Die by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.
The dies make a beautiful silhouette image! 

The top card is a 4x4 stamped out using the The Grove stamp for
the background for the Buck, Doe & Fawn Die.  I used dark green cardstock
when running my die through my machine.  The sky is created with the
 Sunrise & Sunset Panpastel set.  The sentiments is from the
One Line Sentiments/lucky you. stamp set. 

This card has a mixed media background that was stamped over
using Silhouette Rocks & Trees set.  The Climbing Kitten
stamp was used for the leaves (stamped, cut out and
then clustered in the corner of the card) for the small silhouette deer

to be placed. The Buck is added (die cut out of dark
brown cardstock) and cenetered on the card front.  Sentiment is
from One Line Sentiments/lucky you.

Peaceful Retreat Die by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing cards made with Peaceful Retreat Die 
by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  The
die makes it so easy to trim out an image and pop it up for
 dimension.

The stamp used for the background is the 
Silhouette Cattails and for color, panpastels.  The 
Peaceful Retreat Die is run through the die cutting machine
using white cardstock and then using a stamp platform
the image is stamped ( Peacful Retreat Stamps) on the die cut.
 You can find a video for this method on the 
 Blue Knight Rubber Stamps channel.  The sentiment
is from the Let's Ride set. The bird is from the Birds ll set.
The sentiment is embossed with white embossing powder
and added to the card front. 

These are quick and easy.  Stamp the Peaceful Retreat out twice
 using two different color inks.  Run the Peaceful Retreat Die through
the machine two times using coordinating cardstock. Using
dimensional adhesive pop the chair over the stamped chair image.
Add sentiments and mat the card front.  These are cut down to 4x4.
Sentiment is One Line Sentiments/happy anyday.

Rear View Truck Die by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
Today I am working with one of the NEW Dies
by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  It is called Rear View Truck Die,
also has stamps that go with it.  Makes it
so easy to trim the truck images out. 

The scenery stamp used is Throught the Woods.  I thought it was
 perfect to have the Rear View Truck driving doen this country
road.   The truck and scenery are colored with Panpastels.
The flag is from the Iwo Jima set and painted with acrylic 
paints. Sentiments are from the God Bless America set and
the One Line Sentiments/lucky you.  All adhesive used is by
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

To create the tags just run the Rear View Truck Die
through your machine with the cut line above the fold
of the light weight cardstock.  Color and add sentiments.
I used One Line Sentiments/friends rock. on these tags.
Punch hole and add twine for a quick and cute gift tag.

Sew Kind Of You Card with A Jillian Vance Design~

 Hi guys!
Today I'm creating with the NEW Antique Sewing Machine
 Die by A Jillian Vance Design. (blog).  I'm also using the Quilting
Stitches Background Stamp and the Sew Blessed Stamps. 
These are all from the new release.

To create this card start with the background.  That is the fun part :)
 I went with Distress Oxide inks, peach, sunset and brown tones. 
I stamped over the color mix using the Quilting Stitches Background
stamp using a dark peach color.  I then sprayed with water to give
the background a distressed, old look.  The Antique Sewing Machine
Die was cut on Kraft cardstock and adhered to  a 4" x 3" piece of
black cardstock.  Buttons and thread were added to embellish the 
sewing machine along with the sentiments.

Speckle with beige acrylic paint. I always use an old toothbrush.
Water the paint down and pick it up with the brush. Gives
an even speckle to the card front.
All adhesive used is by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.

This is my last post for A Jillian Vance Designs.
Thank you so much for having me.
