And back to the Jar of love and Everyday Jars framelits combination again! I used some Fruit stand designer series paper to stamp my jar on this time and used the lemons print to make it look as though they are in the jar. There is also another pattern of the same designer series paper behind the jar.
My background is embossed with the Festive folder and I have added some thick white baker's twine around it for texture.
The jar as well as the lid and bow are die cut using the Everyday Jars framelits after I stamped the pieces.
This month, Stampin' Up! is offering a while supplies last bundle (you can purchase the items separately too) called Thankful Branches. My favorite thing about the stamp set is the font and there is a good variety of sayings as well.
I chose to use some of the tree images along with the "Thank you" and layered them on top of some Presents and Pinecones designer series paper, Kraft rope trim that I pulled apart and some thick bakers twine that I also pulled apart.
The designer series paper and Kraft rope trim are from the Holiday catalog that will be available to purchase from on September 1st.
Supplies:
Thoughtful Branches
Early Espresso, Garden Green ink
Whisper White, Early Espresso, Mint Macaron card stock
Although it is a little early to be thinking about Christmas, I like to make a few projects early that I can either give as gifts or use as ideas for classes. This summer I had run across some burlap wrapped canvases in craft stores (and I found some fun denim ones as well) that I decided I wanted to play with.
As I looked through the Holiday catalog I decided I wanted to use some of the Home for Christmas designer series paper on one of the canvases, specifically the Silent Night musical design. From there I added elements from the Hello December 2015 Project Life card collection and accessory kit and several other elements.
I wrapped some 1" Tip Top Taupe dotted lace trim, silver baker's twine and Cherry Cobbler baker's twine around some card stock that was covered with adhesive to create some flowers and swirls. Then I added elements to decorate them like basic rhinestones, metal rimmed pearls and Winter wonderland snowflake embellishments.
I threw in some corrugated paper, distressed my paper with ink pads directly on the designer paper and Project Life card and also added ink to the Lucky Stars embossing folder and used it as a stamp on my paper.
Rolled a couple corners...
added some buttons...
And came up with this....
Here is a video about the new Hello December 2015 Project Life kit as well!

Another graduation card idea today using the Crazy about you and Celebrate Today stamp sets. I added some banner pieces (you know I have more in my stash from previous projects!) and some Hello Honey thick baker's twine from Sale-a-bration 2015.
The confetti images are stamped with Hello Honey and the sentiment with Early Espresso.
Supplies:
Celebrate Today, Crazy about You
Hello Honey, Early Espresso ink
Very Vanilla, Marina Mist, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake card stock
We will take a little break from the Just Kidding stamp set samples :) This one uses the Mother's Love stamp set that is in the Occasions catalog and some Moonlight designer series paper.
I like to add angled layers sometimes and on this one I used the same mat color for both layers - Blackberry Bliss. Some of the fun thick baker's twine from Sale-a-bration and a basics hodgepodge clip finishes it off.
One of the newest Photopolymer stamp sets is called Snuggles and Smooches. I have used it on this card and to be honest, I wanted it for the stamps you see in the background more than the sentiment images.
On this card, I used some circle punches and layered them off center and placed some thick baker's twine behind them.
Supplies:
Snuggles and Smooches
Strawberry Slush and Baked Brown Sugar ink and thick baker's twine
