I had a lovely crafty session with a couple of stamping friends recently and had the opportunity to play with the Jar of Love bundle. These sessions can turn out to be expensive! I hadn’t paid any attention to this set at all but inevitably I loved it. What I particularly liked was that SU have thought of everything. I cut out the jar, but was wishing I could make it transparent... then discovered that there’s a die to cut out the middle of the jar, too, so I could! I used this colour combination, based on the ink pads that just happened to be on the table, and when I returned home, I realised it just happened to be a Mix It Up Monday combo, using a colour combination from my latest set of In Color charts! Well, it is if you discount the Soft Sky, which I am going to do as it’s very subtle behind the vellum.

Stamping this fun card with the Jar of Love set and the Fruit Stand designer paper from Stampin' Up! is about as close to canning fruits or veggies that I will ever get! My grandma used to can EVERYTHING and I have fond memories of watching her.. but I guess I'm just not that domestic.. It's not on my bucket list.. but I LOVE stamping with this fun stamp set! The fun magic about this card is the window sheet die cut jars that I placed on top of the 'fruit' jars!! It really makes them seem

Good Day Crafty Friends, I am back again with my favourite stamp set - Tropical Chic. I know I am bombarding you with posts at the minute, but its the first chance I have had to make it back into my crafty space after a week hiatus. Apologies, I am jamming them in while the visiting Mother In Law is busy and out of the house for the day. I have used the cross stitch die from the Stitched All Around bundle to create the stitched background onto whisper white card. Before adhering to the card base I slipped in a panel of Lemon Lime Twist so this would show through the stitching lines. The images have been stamped in bright summery colours and adhered with Tombow and mini dimensionals. The second card is another one of my "doodling stamping techniques". This time instead of adding drawn lines to my stamped images (like the leaves), I have added lots of dots to the Frangipani flowers. It does alter the appearance quite dramatically but I really like it. It looks great teamed with the lines drawn on the leaves. I have also added stamped and fussy cut images from Jar of Love and Cake Soiree as I really like these two leafy images together. Hope I have inspired you to get into your crafty space and have a play. Perhaps you will try adding dots to some of the images of stamp in your current collection. Until next time, stay crafty

Happy Birthday! This special Blog post has been scheduled just for today.... You see, I sent one of these cute cards to a sweet friend for their BIRTHDAY!!!! AND today is that day!! This person is also into card creating, like myself. But boy is this person talented! Soooooo, I wanted something I wouldn't be ashamed to send.... Something original, funny, cute and artistic! BIG ask! lol I had been seeing so many gorgeous 'Jar of Love' cards...I have even made a couple myself (yet to be blogged) But they all seemed very similar....flowers in a jar, hearts in the jar,even a fish in a jar Another creator Stephanie Fischer had just made a card called 'Ahoy There' (no jars anywhere) BUT it gave me an idea :) I thought, 'Lets tip the jar over a little so it's almost spilling it's contents but not quite! And have fishies inside, Jumping OUT!' I think to myself....WOW!, yes that sounds original & allowed myself a little WHOOP of joy. AND got to creating... Here is it..... Happy Birthday ! #Jaroflove #Happybirthday #frommetoyou #sentwithlove #KOCreationscards #Jaroflove #Happybirthday #frommetoyou #sentwithlove #KOCreationscards The little one on the right is my first effort. Then came version 2 .... not alot different but made a little larger, just so I could add some little extra detail & not overwhelm the card. You are probably wondering what I did for the inside??? Can you see inside a little :) Ok I will stop teasing! hahahaa Here is an open pic of the card. I couldn't let the poor little fishies jump, not without having somewhere safe for them to land! LOL #Jaroflove #Happybirthday #frommetoyou #sentwithlove #KOCreationscards I do hope she liked it... As I scheduled this post on Sunday (19/6) and haven't as yet posted the card to her!!! Gosh I am excited! hehehe Anywho... How I made my 'Jar of Love' cards: I used Peek-a-boo Peach A4 card stock & in colour backgrounds DSP. Thick Whisper White was used as my card base and for the fronts. I used the 'Jar of Love' stamp set for the jars, stamped onto an acetate window sheet in Stazon Jet Black. The sentiment is a mixture of two from the same Jar of Love set and has been stapled together then attached using dimensionals. I cut both jar outlines using Everyday Jars Framelits. I coloured using my aqua painters and my Stampin' Write marker Island Indigo scribbled onto a stampin' block...I mixed the blue at times with Craft Stampin Ink whisper White For the inside I stamped the small jar in Stazon jet black as I didn't want it to bleed or run when painting my flowing water. I stamped the fish in Peek-a-boo Peach and colored very carefully around it. The flowers have been stamped in Peeka-boo-Peach while the leaves were stamped with Emerald Envy. I added the smaller Rhinestones to the smaller flowers on one card. I used the foam adhesive strips to frame up the fish jar (the one sent for the birthday) as it is a shaker card. I used it to raise the front on the smaller card. I used Stampin' Dimensionals under some flowers, to add more depth. #Jaroflove #Happybirthday #frommetoyou #sentwithlove #KOCreationscards If you would like to purchase any of these items please use the 'Carousel' below

Used Materials Paper and Ink: Whisper White, Rose Red, Sweet Sugarplum, Soft Sky, Old Olive, Smoky Slate, Early Espresso, Perfect Plum Stam: Jar of Love, Thoughtful Banners Tools: Everyday Jars FL, Washi Label P Others: Foam Adhesive Strips, Fancy Forst Sequins, Baker's Twine White Wink of Stella, Basic Pearls Als goodie had ik een kleine bloem gemaakt met een paasei erin.

feeling all the spring love going on? As I look through my instagram feed there are so many glass bottles and mason jars with beautiful greenery in them. That inspired this card. Jar of Love is on

Good Morning folks! I am a little later with my blog this morning as I am having an easier morning after running many many events over the past 10 days including my weekend retreat which finished yesterday. Over the next few days I will be sharing our makes from the Saturday using the Jar of Love bundle which I included in the kits for my attendees. This was a card CASED from one by our lovely team member Chris who made me a gorgeous card for my birthday using this design but with the Baby Bear stamps so I tweaked it for my Jar of Love stamps. Once we got the construction sorted my ladies loved this card and I hope they will make more with their goodies they got to take home. The great thing about this style card is that it also folds flat for postage! Hope you like todays make and I will see you soon!

a place where there is always room to create and inspire.... and share a little bit of creativity to others.

Heute zeige ich Euch eine weitere Schüttelkarte. Verwendet habe ich das schöne Set Glasklare Grüße von Stampin' Up!.

Die letzte Woche vor den Sommerferien beginne ich mit einer Resteverwertung der besonderen Art. Die Einweckgläser sind Abfallstücke aus einem anderen Projekt, das ich Euch aber erst Mitte der Woche zeigen kann. Als die Ausstanzungen so auf einem Stapel lagen, musste irgendwas damit gemacht werden. Also habe ich jeweils zwei Gläser mit einem Streifen Papier verbunden, so dass eine kleine Box entsteht. Klein ist sie in der Tat, denn sie ist gerade so groß, dass ein Raffaello hinein passt. In Maßen bedeutet das ca. B 4 cm x H 6 cm x T 3,5 cm. Vorher wurden die Gläser in Schiefergrau bestempelt und mit dem passenden Deckel versehen. Auch Blümchen sollten in die Gläser, die ich in zarter Pflaume mehrfach hintereinander abgestempelt habe. Ein Schleifchen in Minzmakrone und der kleine Gruß in Jeansblau machen die Goodies komplett. Alle Stempel und Stanzen sind im Set "Glasklare Grüße" und Framelits "Einweckgläser" enthalten, das im Paket 10 % günstiger ist. Ihr findet es im Jahreskatalog auf Seite 75. Ich wünsche Euch eine tolle Woche. Liebe Grüße Eure Claudia PS. Da die Goodies farblich so perfekt zur aktuellen Ink-spire me Challenge passen, verlinke ich direkt dorthin.

I have been playing with my favourite new stamp set called Jar of Love from Stampin' Up! I designed this project for a team event I held at the weekend in Birmingham. We had a

I used the Stampin’ Up! Jar of Love stamp set to create my card for the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop today. We’ve got a sketch challenge this week and this is what I created for it.

Tonight I am participating in a blog hop along with the super talented ladies in the Art With Heart Team. We thought it would be fun to share some fabulous ideas to inspire you from our brand new 2017-2018 annual catalogue, which is available 1st June. Be sure to request your copy of the catalogue today! The first project I have for you uses the new Crate Die and the new Wood Textures DSP, which comes in a 6"x6" stack. The foliage is from the Jar of Love set. The other new products I have used on the front of the card are one of the In Colour Bitty Bows in Berry Burst and the Powder Pink edges done with the Ticket Tear Border Punch. These self adhesive bows are extremely easy to use. On the inside of the card I have used one cut out from the crate die. Usually, to make a complete crate, you will need two pieces. I adhered the crate to the inside of the card and used an addition piece as a brace, and to attach some of the foliage to. I will be creating a tutorial as to how this was done shortly. Contact me if you would like one when available. The colours I used for the flowers are Berry Burst, Powder Pink, and Fresh Fig, and for the foliage, Tranquil Tide and Sahara Sand. The second card I have to show you features a set that caught my attention as soon as I saw the Catalogue. It's called Bright Wishes and this image of a wishing well is perect for colouring. I used Blender Pens on Shimmery White paper this time, but you could also use the Watercolour Pencils or an Aquapainter with the inks on watercolour paper.. Once again I have use a piece of Wood Textures DSP, Love this paper! On the inside I stamped the image in Crumb Cake ink, and softly coloured the flowers in Powder Pink and a few leaves in Pear Pizzazz. I hope you enjoyed my little preview from the upcoming catalogue, there's plenty more to come. Next stop on the hop is Caroline.

Good Morning and a happy Monday to you. Well it seems like there is a chill in the air today and it's the first time I have considered needing the heating on at home. Trying to hold out until October though! Today I am sharing the last of the Jar of Love makes from our Retreat last weekend. I saw this lovely card on Lou Kitzelman's blog and knew I had to include one. Top tip for next time would be to not include the ribbon as it makes it harder to close the card for posting. The idea of this card is that its supposed to look like the jar is standing on a table so I added a little table cloth running across the centre of the table. We did have a laugh constructing these when one of my ladies (no names mentioned) struggled to get her jar to say standing up! Hope you like todays make and you have been inspired to use the Jar of Love set.

This beautiful stamp set, Jar of Love is my all time favorite. Every single card comes out different in some way every single time ! 🙂 I used the Jar of Love Bundle (saving 10% when purchasing the bundle as opposed to buying the stamp set and framelits separately). And I decided to do […]
