Jar of Love Thank You Card

Posted on by Josee

Good Morning!

Today's card features probably one of the most creative and versatile stamp sets in this new catalogue- Jar of Love! I have seen so many creative uses for this stamp set, it just amazes me! (In fact, come back on Monday for My Crafty Friends Monday featuring the Jar of Love stamp set!) The stamp set alone includes a wide array of stamps to use (like the fish, flowers, bugs and many sentiments!), but the best part of this stamp set and the coordinating Everyday Jars Framelits Dies is that with some creativity you could use it with any other stamp set! 

Jar of Love, Stampin Up

How To Make It: 

Emboss the Flirty Flamingo panel using the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhere the 5 ¼” piece of the 5/8” Watermelon Wonder Mini Striped Ribbon to the panel as shown by applying adhesive to the back of the panel. Wrap ends and secure on back side.

Adhere the Flirty Flamingo panel to the Soft Suede card base.

Next, stamp both the large jar image and the handle image on a scrap of Whisper White card stock in Soft Suede ink.

Using the same ink, stamp the “Thanks” sentiment from Jar of Love a little above center inside the jar image.

Stamp the small hearts randomly inside the bottom of the jar using Flirty Flamingo ink.

Cut both the jar and handle images out using the coordinating Everyday Jar Framelits and the Big Shot and set aside.

Take the Linen Thread and wind it around three of your fingers to create the coil that will go behind the jar.

Add adhesive to the back of the jar image and adhere the Linen Thread as shown. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the jar and adhere it to the front of the card as shown. Adhere the jar handle to the jar image as shown.

Next, tie a small bow using the 5/8” Mini Striped Ribbon – Watermelon Wonder and adhere the bow with Mini Glue Dots to the jar’s handle.

Add a little “sparkle” to the hearts in the jar with the Clear Wink of Stella.

Adhere the Whisper White 4” x 5 ¼” panel to the inside of the card and stamp a few small hearts using Flirty Flamingo ink.

Stamps: 

Jar of Love (141587)

Paper: 

Soft Suede (115318), Flirty Flamingo (141416), Whisper White  (100730)

Ink:

Pretty Kitty Hello card

Posted on by Josee

Hello!

Today's card features the Pretty Kitty stamp set. I don't know about you think this is one of the more adorable stamp sets I've seen! So cute!

Pretty Kitty, Stampin Up

 

 

How To Make It: 

Start with a cardbase of Flirty Flamingo cardstock. Stamp the kitten image from Pretty Kitty on the Shimmery White cardstock with Basic Black ink.

Color the image with the Aquapainter and inkpads. Tip: With the inkpad closed, squeeze the ink pad lid to get a small pool of ink on the inside lid. Pick up this color with your aquapainter. Don’t forget to “ground” your image with some color at the base of the image. Also add a pop of dimension by adding a very light halo of Smoky Slate ink around the image.

Stamp the sentiment with Basic Black ink on a long strip of Whisper White cardstock.

At the tip of the sentiment strip, create a banner tip with your Paper Snips scissors or Triple Banner Punch.

Wrap the Peekaboo Peach Ruched Ribbon around the end of the saying and tie in a knot.

Attach the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper to the card front. Add the sentiment strip with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Attach the stamped image to the Peekaboo Peach and Watermelon Wonder cardstock layers and then to the front of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
