You may have come from visiting Monique's blog, but if you are visiting me, you can start your journey here and continue by clicking on the buttons at the bottom of the post.

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.

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
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.
Dear Crafters, Today I have a Tuxedo card fold with a tutorial link for you to re-create this yourself. This is bit like the box cards, but more of a diamond shape, but still folds flat! I have us…
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
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
Heute zeige ich Euch eine weitere Schüttelkarte. Verwendet habe ich das schöne Set Glasklare Grüße von Stampin' Up!.
Since it is summer in Australia at the moment, I though it would be great to share a card that represents the ocean and the beach. I used some clear glass beads and fussy cut some starfish to shake around in the card. I am very happy with the end result and hope my viewers like it too.
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 EVER

Hallo allemaal! Dit keer weer een bloemenkaart, gemaakt met de "Jar of Love" stempelset van Stampin' Up! Nu heb ik de kleuren inkt: Lost Lagoon, Watermelon Wonder, Flirty Flamingo, (de lichtere kleuren krijg je door na 1x te stempelen nogmaals een stempelafdruk te maken met de resterende inkt op de stempel) Pear Pizzazz & Soft Sky gebruikt. De kaart, die ik gisteren heb gemaakt en daarnaast de kaart van vandaag: Zo ziet de "Jar of Love' stempelset er uit: Maak er een fantastisch weekend van! Hugs, Laura

I used the Stampin’ Up! Jar of Love stamp set to create my card to share today. I love this bundle, so many neat images and dies to match! :)
Well, tomorrow is Mother's Day and yesterday I spent some quality time with my daughter's two youngest children, Jaden and Rorey! As 9 and 10 year olds go these days, they are the most fun loving, caring, beautiful children on this planet, states their Grandmother! As such, I was thinking how much I appreciate my daughter for raising my grandchildren to be the way they are. So, because making a card shows how much you care or love someone, I made her a card from me for Mother's Day! Her favorite color is Bermuda Bay, I used that for the card base and the small flowers and hearts. Daffodil Delight was used for the main part of the large flower (it's a two step stamp) and for the center I used Crushed Curry. I used the 'Jar of Love' stamp set, which, by the way, will continue to be in the 2017-2018 Stampin Up catalog, yipee! It's a beautiful set with 37 stamps in total! Along with the stamps, there are framelits. The set of 'Everyday Jar of Love' framelits contains 17 dies. Enormous value for your dollar I would say! I used both on this card. One of the dies is the small strip of hearts at the bottom of the white mat, first I used the die to cut out the hearts on the white mat, then I repeated the cut on some Bermuda Bay glitter paper (which sadly has retired). I then glued those tiny blue hearts into the spaces left in the white mat! I embossed the rim of the jar using copper embossing powder, a new item in the catalog this year, and then popped it up on the jar using dimensionals. All the stamped images and die cuts are from the Jar of Love sets with the exception of the sentiment. I wanted to hang a label from the jar so I used Teeny Tiny Wishes as that stamp set is just like it states "Teeny Tiny" and this worked really well on the jar. I put dimensionals onto the jar and placed it on half of a white doily. To finish off, I die cut the label with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and tied it to the jar with Bermuda Bay bakers twine. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when I will celebrate Mother's Day with my daughter, her husband and my grandchildren! If you would like a 2017-2018 catalog, please email with your name and address and I will gladly send one out to you. If you have shopped with me in the past 6 months, you will automatically receive one. Similarly, if you would like to purchase any of the items listed here, please do not hesitate to either contact me by email or shop online from my store, both of which are listed at the top right of this blog. I wish all of you out there in blogland a very happy Mother's Day!

One of the reasons why I think the Jar of Love stamp set has been so popular is that you can make so many different kinds of cards with it. ...
Check out this cool stair step Halloween card! It is for my upcoming Halloween Treats classes. I love Candy Corn & I think the little spiders are cute! I think it turned out fun & cute! I love fun folds. And I think this jar worked perfectly for this layout! Notice how I cut apart the stamp set- 'Halloween Treat' & made it so that these words were separate & more versatile. stamp sets: 'Halloween Treat', Ghoulish Grunge', & 'Jar of Haunts' card stock: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White designer paper: Halloween Night Specialty DSP (12x12) ink: Black Memento, Whisper White Craft pad markers: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black other: Big Shot, Magnetic Platform, Everyday Jar Framelits, Decorative Label Punch, Halloween Night Enamel Dot (Pumpkin Pie), Dimensionals, Paper Trimmer, Scoring Tool ++++ Yesterday we were on the go. The boys had a good check-up from Dr. Mary! They are now all set to start pre-school next Wednesday! We got home mid afternoon. I worked on placing orders & doing bookwork. Last night the guys all went racing in Minnesota for an Iron Man (USRA) race. Nathan got 5th in his heat & 8th in the main. There was a large field of cars there, so he did good. Since the guys were gone- Manda, Sarah & I took the boys & went to the park to play! We picked up a Casey's Pizza & ate supper together in the shelter there too. The weather was perfect & the boys all had a great time! They played hard, so they should have all slept good last night. When I got home I did a little more bookwork, picked up toys, etc.....and finally called it a night. I had hoped to get to stamp, but that didn't quite happen. This morning I'm off to pick up the boys for the day. Tonight when they all go home I plan to spend my night stamping! I hope you have a FABULOUS Friday!! Happy Stamping! Hugs- SUSIE

Hey Hallo, Sommige van jullie hadden al op mijn facebook pagina gezien dat ik vorige week een speciale Stampin'Up meeting had in Dortmund. Dit om eens van gedachten te wisselen met demonstrators uit andere landen. Meestal wordt er NIET geswapt op dit soort bijeenkomsten maar omdat ik toch wel nieuwsgierig was naar de blog/facebook pagina's van deze Franse en Duitse demo's leek het mij een slim idee om een kleine swap te maken en deze te presenteren tijdens een van mijn presentaties al daar! Daarbij vertelde ik hen dat ik graag met het kennis wilde maken en "vriend/volger"wilde worden op hun facebook/blog. Ik moet er wel bijvertellen dit ideetje niet helemaal mijn idee was maar van Laura Kant een collegaatje uit het zelfde team "de Creatieve Harten". Ik stempelde het grote potje met zwarte inkt op Kraft Cardstock. Dit stanste ik met de bijbehorende stans uit. Ik knipte van die leuke rietjes op kleur in tweeën. Wikkelde om de deksel Linen Thread en stopte het rietje daar tussen. Op de achter kant stopte ik mijn business kaartje. Op het vliegveld had ik van die leuke kleine tic-tac doosjes gekocht. Je kunt ze ook op Amazon kopen. Met een gluedot blijven ze goed plakken op de "Jar". Ik zocht een bijpassende tekst en stempelde die ook met zwart op Kraft Cardstcock. Deze ponste ik uit met de oval punch. Helaas is deze retired maar je kunt heel goed de nieuwe Layering Oval Framelits daarvoor gebruiken. Gaatje er in .... Strikje in het touwtje en klaar was mijn swap. Wat heeft het me opgeleverd..... Geen swaps maar wel heel veel business kaartjes en papiertjes met gegevens van alle aanwezige dames. Ik kreeg zelfs leuke kaartjes via de post terug. Missie geslaagd dus. Wil je ook deze set hebben. Dinsdag 2 augustus plaats ik weer een verzamelbestelling bij Stampin'Up Stuur je lijstje voor die datum naar [email protected] en ik zorg er voor. Kijk ook eens op mijn You tube kanaal Je vind daar de leukste doosjes. Je mij ook op facebook kunt vinden en daar nog meer inspiratie te vinden is? Ik ook een eigen webwinkel heb. Klik daarvoor op het winkelwagentje. Tot snel groetjes Jolan Benodigdheden: Kraft Cardstock art.nr: Framelits: Everyday Jar Framelits art.nr: 141490 en Layering Ovals: art.nr: 141706 Stempel: Jar of Love art.nr: 141587 Linen Thread art.nr: 104199 Inkt: zwarte memento art.nr: 132708

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
