Today I would like to share with you a Mini Jam Jar, that I have decorated for the Global Design Project #GDP331. This week we have been given the theme: Dots & Circles. This allows use to allow our creativity to go wild and interpret as we wish.

My Mini Jam Jar

Cut two strips of coordinating DSP (Designer Series Paper), measuring 3cm x 16.5cm and 2.5cm x 16.5cm. Using ‘Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive’, place the thinner strip in the middle of the thicker strip. Place ‘Stampin’ Seal+’ onto the rear and wrap around your ‘Mini Jam Jar’.

Stamp a set of peaches, from the ‘Sweet As A Peach’ stamp set, using ‘Calypso Coral’ ink and second generation stamping onto ‘Basic White’ cardstock. (Stamp onto a scrap of paper first to give a softer tone.) Using ‘Old Olive’ ink, stamp the branch with leaves image, also second generation. Die cut these out, using the coordinating ‘Peach Dies’. Adhere your peaches to your ‘Mini Jam Jar’, using ‘Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive’ and ‘Stampin’ Dimensionals’. Cut off two sets of leaves and adhere behind your peaches.

Stamp your sentiment onto ‘Basic White’ cardstock with ‘Balmy Blue’ ink. Die cut using the label die from the ‘Peach Dies’.

Die cut two scalloped circles, using the two largest scalloped circles from the ‘Layering Circles’ dies, from your chosen DSPs. Layer onto your ‘Mini Jam Jar’ lid using ‘Stampin’ Seal+’. Carefully tease down the edges and fix into place with ‘Mini Glue Dots’.

Finish by adding white bakers twine, from the ‘Bakers Twine Essentials Pack’, around your lid and tying with a bow.

All products used are listed below and available from my online shop.

Tech 4 Stampers Academy November Blog Hop – Anything But A Card

Hello and welcome. For todays blog post I am joining the Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop, with a theme of Anything But A Card!

With Christmas being just around the corner, I want to share with you some gift packaging. These Whimsical Christmas Pillow boxes are so cute and really simple to create. Below I will show you how to recreate just one of my creations, but all where created along the same lines.

Whimsical Christmas Pillow Boxes

‘Tis The Season Pillow Box

Using the ‘Pretty Pillow Box Dies’, die cut your pillow box from ‘Mint Macaron’ cardstock. Randomly stamp the small Christmas tree image from the ‘Whimsical Trees’ stamp set, all over your die cut piece, using ‘Mint Macaron’ Ink. This creates a subtle tone on tone background. Fold your pillow box carefully, teasing the card into the desired shape. Fix together using ‘Mini Glue Dots’.

Using ‘Misty Moonlight’ ink, stamp your greeting onto ‘Basic White’ cardstock. Die cut using the fancy label die, from the ‘Pretty Pillow box Dies’. Adhere this to the front of your pillow box, using ‘TomBow Multipurpose Adhesive’ applied to the lower half only.

Fussy cut several baubles from the ‘Whismy & Wonder 12×12 Speciality Designer Series Paper (SDSP)’ and a bow. Adhere these onto and behind your fancy label, using a mix of ‘Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive’ and ‘Stampin’ Dimensionals’. This gives great dimension to your pillow box.

For the finishing touch, add a few ‘Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

I do hope you have enjoyed my project. All products used are listed below and available to purchase through my online shop.
