Celebrate the Journey of the Sneak Peeks

Well here we are to Celebrate the Journey of the Sneak Peeks. Thank you for following along every day. I hope you have left comments every day and follow our blog as we will choose a winner to receive one of the new stamp sets ~ YOUR choice!!! So if you haven't already commented and followed go back and leave us some love! So here we goooooooooooo . . . The March Stamp and Die release is here!!!

We have 6 stamp sets and 3 dies!

Perfect Day Perfect Day fits the Spellbinders Standard Circles die or the 3 inch Circle punch. Great for journaling pages too.

Charming Occasions Charming Occasions is designed around our {die}lightfully Charming Circle die or it will also fit a 1 1/2 circle punch. They celebrate Everyday Occasions!

{die}lightfully Charming Circle Die coordinates with our Charming Occasions Stamp set. You can also use any of the stamp sets that coordinate with the Epiphany Crafts Round 25 shape such as A {Little} Love and Type Star Font Stamp sets.

Whimsical Journey

Mini Whimsical Balloons

These two Hot Air Balloon Stamp sets were inspired by a sweet lady and turned out "better than she ever expected!!" They were so fun to do! They coordinate with our Emerald Cut {die}mond Nested Die set and the sentiments fit the {die}namic Duo also. On the Mini Whimsical Balloon set, the bottom right hand corner image is a Make Your Own Balloon (check out Bunny's Card yesterday)! Just add a 2 inch circle and that small line to create your own balloon. Or make it 3D by adding three circles layered together. Just two FUN sets! That fit a variety of occasions!

Everyday Flags This stamp set coordinates with our {die}licious Flag Set, see those dotted lines around the flag stamps? Those are die placement lines. You center your die within those lines and it should cut perfectly ~ we use removable tape to hold it in place. and those words will fit with the flag folded in half. Also the icons will fit the Endless Borders stamp set shown below! and also the Epiphany Crafts Round 14 as well as in the circles of the Flags.

{die}licious Flag Set Coordinates with Everyday Flags Stamp set and can be used soooo many ways! Add the pole for a flatter layer or use a tooth pick or a stick pin from the jewelry making department. Or fold over twine or ribbon to create a banner or use as it for a sentiment lay which a lot of our previous stamp sets fit!

Endless Borders This stamp set was created on the airplane on the way home from CHA! Jillian decided she wanted to add a border stamp to her line and we love this one! It was well received by the Design Team that is for sure! It was designed to be connected for how ever long you need, so the extra icons were added.

{die}luxe Jewelry Tags These {die}luxe Jewelry Tags are sooo cute! They coordinate with several of our sets that have little words such as Peepster and A {Little}Love.

Monday's Tag featuring Endless Borders, Charming Occasions stamp sets and {die}lightfully Charming Circle and a Pear Pin.

Tuesdays Layout featuring Perfect Day, Type Star Font, Everyday Flags and Notebook Background stamps and {die}licious Flag die set.

Wednesdays Card featuring Everyday Flags, Endless Borders Stamp sets and {die}licious Flag die set.

Perfect day and Flags

Hey guys! It's Jillian, and this week I am SO EXCITED to show you what I made, because
A. It includes cute guys.
B. It is bright colors and I love it so much!
C. It reflects back on the best day of my life, when I finally met at least one famous person.
D. It includes cute guys.

So, this reflects on January 28th, 2012. It was the day of the Allstar Weekend concert at the House Of Blues Anaheim in Anaheim, California. (Downtown Disney to be exact!) It was so much fun, and I am going to stop talking about it because I will get all into detail... or maybe I could explain :) I made a description for a youtube video about the concert, so I am going to copy and paste it and you will get the picture! If you don't wanna read about it, you can scroll down to the recipe! I met Riley from Before You Exit, Pop! Fiction (which they were pretty cool! They went up to people in line and asked if they wanted to hear their music. I got a signed CD for $5) It was so cool! I also met Cameron Quiseng's dad, and Brent Schneiders' mom. She asked me my favorite guy, and I said "Zach." She must've told Zach's dad something cause he got up to go to the restroom or something and he smiled at me. It was so cool. We had seated tickets so that meant that we were up in the House Of Blues balcony. All the parents sat up their too! It was such an amazing experience. During Dance Forever, I was kind of dancing in an awkward way, and I think Zach looked right up at me! It was so amazing and I felt the connection when our eyes met... if that sounds corny or creepy/stalkerish, sorry. LOL. I wanted to meet them and Cam's Dad and Brent's Mom both said they would try to get me to meet them, but they were going to Long Beach Pier to film the lyric video for Wanna Dance With Somebody... so they didn't meet fans after the show. But I gave Cam's dad stuff to give the guys :) I was invited to Long Beach but we didn't rent a car. And I had to go to classes for CHA, and I was a little bit bummed, but it's ok!

Recipe:

Canvas Corp Paper (LOVE THIS STUFF! DISCOVERED IT AT CHA AND BEEN OBSESSED SINCE!)

Type Star A Jillian Vance Design Stamp Set

Divine Twine

Spellbinder Dies

Notebook Background Stamp by A Jillian Vance Design

Paper Punch

Jelly Roll Pen (For the pink journal entry)

The boy in the photo on the top is Riley McDonough, and the two guys in the picture below, is two guys from Pop! Fiction. They are good singers! (I saw a video of them singing Glad You Came by The Wanted! Good cover of a good song!)

You can get the links for the stamp sets on Friday!
God Bless,

Jillian

The Charm is from our NEW {die}lightfully Charming Circle Die and the Thank you is from our New Charming Occasions Stamp Set.

The layers are cut from our new die you will see on Wednesday!

I used the new Endless Borders Stamp set you will see in the full reveal on Friday!

And of course an AJVD Pear Pin in black!

About to Hatch!

Recipe: I used a Ranger Tag for my pattern to make a pink tag, stamped with border with a NEW soon to be released A Jillian Vance Design stamp set in Magenta Hue Archival ink.

I cut the egg (blue polka dot) and chick shadow (yellow polka dot) out with Simply Charmed at 2 1/2 inches. then stamped the About to hatch in Black archival ink and stamped the baby face onto Pink Polka dot cut with a 1 inch circle punch ~ all polka dot papers are Canvas Corp. then stamped the bow from Mr. and Mrs. Moustache stamp set onto both the circle and chick, then pop dotted the circle.

Congratulations sentiment from Baby Bump Stamp Set.

Rinkle Ribbon with Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher staples!

This new set just darling!

Here is the story behind the set: My cousin was planning a baby shower for her friend. So she gave me the theme, and wanted some images cut out with the Cricut so she could use them on her "pop corn boxes". So rather than designing them to be cut out with the Cricut, I designed them as a stamp set that coordinates with our Emerald Cut {die}mond Nested Die set! Well it turned out soooo cute!!! So we are having this Mini Release to honor Karen who is having a baby on Tuesday March 21st!!! So I will have a new little boy cousin in addition to Madelyn!

So here is Baby Bump Stamp Set!!!

Baby Bump Stamp Set

And also in this release is the {die}verse Tag! Perfect name for a tag that has so many uses!

{die}verse Tag $9.95

Pre-Order today, shipping Mid March.
