A Jillian Vance DT - Country Fair !

Hi Everyone and a special hello to all my new followers!
As most of you know, I am on the Design Team for A Jillian Vance Design. She makes fabulous stamp sets and I am honoured to be working with such talent.  Today is our first design team challenge and we were asked to use the "Down on the Farm" stamp set and the theme was Country Fair.  This stamp set is perfect for the Country Life and County Fair cricut cartridges.

Instead of stamping, I embossed my sentiment because I love that 3-D, glossy look! I also backed it onto dark brown cardstock and applied foam squares on the back to make the sentiment "pop" on the card. I also had to sew this card, it felt so appropriate!

I just love my cuttlebug quilling kits. I make loads at a time, then keep them in a baggy for when I need them. I placed an orange i-rock jewel in the center. Now with the new Flower Shoppe cartridge, it will be even easier to make these pretty flowers!

Laundry Washing Instructions Tag

Since my handmade t-shirt has sensitive materials, it was important that I attach a tag with the washing instructions so that it wouldn't get destroyed when being washed.  So I created this super adorable tag to attach to the t-shirt.

The tag is from Cricut Sentimentals and the image is from Cricut Country Life.

This was my first time using a Viva Decor Pearl Pen. It's super easy and I love the effect that it has.

Supplies:
Dark and Light Brown cardstock, Pink, Dark and Light Blue cardstock
Cricut Country Life cartridge
Cricut Sentimentals cartridge
Viva Decor Pearl Pen in Ice White
Stampin Up! Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon
White Gelly Roll Pen

I love my Stampin Up! Grosgrain striped ribbon!

Here is a shot of all the gifts together. I couldn't resist adding a magical wand from the Making Memories Bravissimo line!
