I have a mason jar addiction. How about you? Mason jars are such a huge trend right now and there's no time more perfect for them than summer. You may have some in your kitchen right now getting ready for all the wonderful produce that's available right now.
Since I love mason jars, I've been wanting to try out this sweet stamp set from Paper Smooches. It's called Crystal Clear and is so adorable!
As the stamp set was the main inspiration for the card, I started with it first. The mason jar stamp is...
- stamped onto some patterned paper & then cut out
- the Ball section of the sentiment is stamped on the front of the jar
- the top lid grooves are accented with the London Fog Memento Marker
- covered with Zig Wink of Stella glitter in Clear to give it some shine
- adhered to the card with dimensional foam to make it stand out
Next we're onto the background. I love the South of Market paper line from Studio Calico! One of the prints in this line is a collage background of lots of sweet sentiments and images. You can leave it as it but I decided to cut it up and layer them together to form a unqiue background.
Super cute! I really hated to cover some of them up!
To complete the sentiment, I stamped the "have a" stamp onto a lovely little canvas tag from Maya Road. I love stamping on canvas and find the Ranger Archival Inks to be the best for stamping on fabric...hands down!
When designing a card I like to put out a bunch of embellishments that I think will work well with the design and style. All these embellishments have a fun down-home look which pair up perfectly with mason jars. You may notice that I didn't quite use them all in the final design. Stop adding embellishments once the design feels complete.
Tie the canvas tag with some twine and adhere. The foam adhesive under the stamped image makes a great place to insert my trinket pins. I think they look pretty cute in the top of the jar.
Thanks so much for joining me today in the CLASSroom! Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy every minute of summer!
