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.

 dimension.

The stamp used for the background is 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.

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.

the machine two times using coordinating cardstock. Using

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

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.

Egret & Waterway by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps

Hi guys!
Today I'm sharing two cards created using the NEW
Egret & Waterway by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. 

The cards are created two different ways and with different 
supplies. 

This card is stamped on a stamping platform using Archival Black ink.
It is colored with panpastels.  It is hard to see but I used a 
background stamp called 1 John 4 before I stamped the scene.
The Silhouette Sportsman was added (always fun) to the card front.
The sentiment is from the One Line Sentiments/happy any day.

The second card is stamped out and then colored with
Distress Oxide inks.  The truck is from the Rear View Truck Die
set. I love that it looks like a silhouette stamp and that the
Silhouette Sportsman is fishing out of the
truck window. The sentiment is from the One Line
Sentiments/happy any day.

Row Boat in Nature by Blue Knight Rubber Stamps~

Hi guys!
I have a NEW release stamp to share with
you called Row Boat in Nature by Blue
Knight Rubber Stamps. 

The top left card is stamped and emossed with black embossing
powder. The cluster of leaves, in the left corner,
are from the Cute Koala set.  A simple card and 
such a great look!

I stamp out and then fussy cut
the section of leaves I want to add to my project. The sentiment
is from One Line Sentiments/blessings set.

The right card is stamped and colored with Panpastels.
It is stamped using a stamping platform so you can
restamp to darken the lines of the image, once it is colored.
I used a circle stencil to mask off the sun. The edges of the card
 are highlighted with acrylic paint, for a distressed look. The
sentiment is from One Line Sentiments/lucky you.
