Sometimes you are left with the most beautiful jars and it seems such a waste to put them in the Recycle Bin... Some are just crying out to be crafted with!
So here is a simple example of what you can do with a couple of
Stamp Sets, some Card,
Patterned Paper and a
Big Shot!
Just what to put in it? :-)
I used
Twitterpated Paper then used the
Windows Framelits dies to cut out, first the
Summer Starfruit card stock, that I embossed on the
Big Shot using the
Square Lattice Embossing Folder, I
Stamped the label in
Raspberry Ripple using the
Friendship Preserves Stamp Set, then cut that out too with the appropriate sized framelit.
A little tip when adhering something quite stiff to a rounded surface, to help prevent it coming unstuck is to place it in your palm and gently 'slide' it over the edge of yout table, this causes it to curve so it will stick more firmly without wanting to come unstuck!
The flowers were stamped from the
Mixed Bunch Stamp Set,
Raspberry Ripple and
Summer Starfruit ink and punched using the
Blossom Punch and the
1" Circle Punch. I added one of the larger pearls to the centre and the leaves can be hand cut! I cheated though and used the
Ornament Framelit that is the perfect shape and my
Simply Scored scoreboard to add detail.
The ribbons are the
Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta on the lid and
3/8" Taffeta in Certainly Celery.
To finish off I thought the lid needed something more than just the ribbon...
Here I used all 3 sizes of the
Scallop Circle Punches and embossed each one, I used the
Perfect Polka Dots,
Square Lattice and the
Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folders... and added another leaf to finish.
This was a fun project and enabled me to showcase lots of my
Stampin' Up! supplies, you don't need to use quite so many products to create a similar project.
