Sponsor Solo with Amy – A Jillian Vance Designs

Sponsor Solo

Hey Coffee Lovers!  It’s Amy here with  another edition of the Sponsor Solo feature!

Today we are spotlighting A Jillian Vance Design!

A Jillian Vance Design

I’m so excited to have Jillian of A Jillian Vance Designs with us today:

unnamed

A Jillian Vance Design was started by Jillian Vance in 2010 at the age of 10 years old.  A very creative young lady, she decided to start a card business and sell them at her mom’s salon.  Then after needing sentiments that she couldn’t find anywhere, she decided to fill the niche in the clear stamp market she felt was missing ~ “There are a lot of cute stamps out there, but it is nearly impossible to find sentiments for the inside of cards, especially Christian ones.”    So, most of her sets have a reference to God who she loves so much.

Check out her Blog:  http://princessandthepaper.com/

In addition to designing cards, stamps and dies, Jillian, who is an honor student, loves to sing, play her Taylor Guitars, dance and perform in local theater productions.  She lives at home with her parents and three beloved dogs, Angus, her Yorkie Poo, Izzy and Mo both Yorkies who were rescues and are perfect angels!

I graduated from high school in May 2017, attending my high school I took post-secondary classes at Mount Vernon Nazarene University during my junior and senior years.  Currently I am an academic senior at MVNU, majoring in Graphic Design and minoring in Marketing!
In February 2018, I will be studying abroad in Italy!

I plan on graduating with my bachelors degree in May of 2019 and hoping to pursue my MBA at MVNU using their fast track program!
Thank you to all of you, my beloved fans for your love, support and prayers!

My clear and rubber stamps, DIEsigns {silver} custom dies and INKboss INKpression plates and sequins are proudly Made in the U.S.A.

Pop over to the A Jillian Vance Design blog for all the details on Helen’s fabulous project!

I couldn’t wait to play along, here’s how I was inspired:

coffee & a friend by Amy Tsuruta for Coffee Loving Cardmakers

I’m featuring the Grandpa’s Glass:  Cup of Love Die and coordinating Perk Up stamp set.

Here’s an older project of mine that I also wanted to share:

    Jillian has created such wonderful products and I love the Christian sentiments she includes always too. All of these fabulous cards are so well designed and beautiful. Her talents really shine through when working with her products. All of the designers used her stamps and dies wonderfully! I certainly like the sets I own and use a lot.

    I was so very blessed to win a GC to Jillian’s shop on one of the coffee loving blog hops several years ago – love her stamps – but do not have any of her dies – she has done a fine job with your shop and life adventure – I wish her the best on her study over in Italy – what a grand adventure that will be – all of the cards here are super duper cool and I have to say I love them all – [Amy you did a nice take on the All you need to day stamp…] thanks for showing us you beautiful work DT and for the sponsor! Blessings

    How nice to “meet” Jillian and see all this gorgeous inspiration. After a long detour to her blog and shop, I know I will need some of her beautiful things in my hands to work with. I especially love the inlaid work. I have tried it and wound up with pieces all over the place and one was always missing, LOL! These pieces look a bit larger and I might have better luck!
