Quart Jar Gift Wrap

Hi! Today I am sharing a Fall Gift in a Jar project using Jam Jar Candle Gift Wrap- QUART JAR for the jar wrap, and the scene from Harvest Bears for the tree and fence scene.

                                                                                                     

                                                          

    

The first step was to get a clean quart jar and lid. I then cut out a 4 inch by 2 1/2 inch oval from contact paper and adhered it to a smooth area of the jar. I made sure the oval was attached well. Then I applied three coats of acrylic orange paint to the jar and green to the lid. I removed the contact paper before the jar was totally dry and used a damp cloth to clean up any smears. When the jar was totally dry I added the cookie ingredients. I used Betty Crocker Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix and Candy Corn M&M's.

Finally, I screwed on the jar lid, tied raffia around the neck of the jar. I used the tag from the Jar Wrap file and a sentiment from Cricut for the tag. I printed the directions for making the cookies on the back of the tag.

I used papers from the Harvest House Stack from DCWV for the Jam Jar Gift Wrap. Colored cardstock was from Recollections. I used the scene  with the tree and fence for the accents on the jar wrap. I sized the file so the fence was 4 inches long. I made four fences and two trees. The trees were attached with foam dots to the two tall sides. Two fences were attached below the trees and the other two fences were attached to opposite sides of the inside box so they will show when the wrap is closed.

I added a bow from the file to the top left of one side. The following picture shows the Jam Jar Gift Wrap open.

These Jam Jar Wraps come in lots of sizes and make a beautiful presentation for so many things.

Autumn Fairy House

Today is New Release Day at Little Blue Button Stamps, and I used "Fairy House" for my Autumn themed card. You can find the new releases here:
http://lbbstamps.com/product-category/new-releases/

My card is 5 by 7 inches. I printed my image at 5 inches and colored it with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. I used light blue cardstock for the background and used a cloud embossing folder from Darice. This was mounted on a wine colored mat. The card base is bright green. I used a leaf patterned cardstock from my stash for the ground. I added four paper leaves, two daisy borders with yellow gems and a pre-made butterfly. The last addition was yellow twine across the top and an Autumn "metal word bit" by Miss Elizabeth's.

Be sure to check out all the great LBB Stamps New Releases.

Apple Picking Time

It's that time of year - Apple Picking Time!

I made two Apple Boxes and an Apple Shape Card using the My Scrap Chick files, Sliced Apple Card which is the current Freebie, and Back to School Project Bundle for the Apple Boxes.

                                                                                              

                                                         

For the Sliced Apple Card I used a tan leaf patterned cardstock from my stash for the base. The plaid cardstock is from the Jen Hadfield Home-made Collection, The off-white is from Stampin Up and the other cardstock is from Recollections. I added a red twine bow to the top.

This box was made with the same supplies, except I made the box using red tagboard so it would be stronger.

The above box also uses all the same supplies plus a red print from Beach House by COLORBOK.

This set would be great for Back to School gifts for the kid's teachers.

Look on the Bright Side

Hi! Today I am sharing a card I made by combining two files from My Scrap Chick, Bright Side Easel Card and "Umbrella Boat" from  Rainy Day Fun Digi Stamps.    

  
                                                              

I loaded the digi stamp into Design Space and sized it along with the card. I also made an extra cloud and a second mat for the base. The card was put together using glue and foam tape between the layers.
I colored the digi stamp with Prismacolor pencils, mounted it on a sturdy piece of cardstock, then fussy cut around it. I added a blue wave from Cricut to the bottom. The image was then added to the card base using a 1 inch by 5 inch strip of sturdy cardstock. I folded the strip at each inch line then glued the first section to the fifth to make a square. I then glued the square to the back of the "Umbrella Boat" as shown.

This was all glued to the main card as shown.

I added the sentiment to the second cloud then added it with foam tape to the left side. A double mat, a bit of ribbon and some buttons were added to the card base to finish the card.

The whole card can be folded flat for mailing.

I hope you liked my card and thanks for stopping by. 

Have a great day!

Blooming Layers Easel Card

Hi! Today I am sharing a card I made using one of my favorite My Scrap Chick files, "Blooming Layers Easel Card." You can find it here:   https://www.myscrapchick.com//product.cfm?product=1929

The prints I used for the flower are from the Samantha Rose Stack by DCWV. The solid cardstock I used was from Recollections. I used foam tape between the layers to give the flower dimension. 

The leaf sprigs are from the Apple Blossom file that was a freebie a while back. You can find it here:

I added some pre-made paper flowers, a pre-made butterfly, a sentiment I created in Design Space and I was finished. It makes for an easy, beautiful card.
