A Jar Full of Garden Joy ~ Double D Challenge

Good morning friends!  I'm here today with a fun shaped card I made for the new challenge starting up over at Double D Challenges.  This week the theme is "Butterflies".  

 

When I started making this card, I knew I wanted to use this sweet Mason Jar Card die from Honeybee Stamps.  I went searching through my stamps and stencils and found these oldies but goodies that seems to fit in the jar nicely.

 

  The stamped flowers are PTI "Flower Favorites", while the stenciled greens and smaller yellow flowers are PinkFresh Studio "With Love".

 

I was delighted when I found a vellum butterfly sticker in my stash from Spellbinders, adding the finishing touch to this card, and making it fit the requirements of today's challenge.

 

Flutter on over to Double D Challenges to see more amazing creations from the talented design team.  

 

Here is the inspiration tile to help get your creative juices flowing:

Spellbinders Victorian Collection

Mason Jars are one thing that will never go out of style.  I've been using them for many years as vases for flowers to storing food in my pantry.  Spellbinders has a new Victorian Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn that is absolutely delightful!  

Today's card features the lovely Mason Jar and Lavender.  The cool thing about this set is that the Mason Jar is both a Hot Foil plate as well as an Etched Die.  I love how the hot foil design is impressed into the mason jar.  So pretty!  

The lavender flowers take a little bit of time, but they're so worth the effort.  The die for the flowers cuts 30 flowers out all at once, so it goes faster than you would think, to assemble these delicate lovelies.  I added some stickles to the centers of each of the flowers and tied some twine around the neck of the jar for added texture.

I used Fluted Classics Slimline Dies to create the card base.  

I hope you enjoyed today's card and I especially hope that you'll take a moment to visit Spellbinders to see their NEW ARRIVALS as well as what's COMING SOON.

Mason Jars ~ Double D

Hello friends~  Double D has a new challenge starting up today and we're asking you to pull out your mason jars and anything that goes with them.  

The Greetery's Mason jar and bottles are so pretty stamped in any color!   I spent some time a few months ago stamping them in rainbow colors so that I'd have them when inspiration hit me to use them.

Paired with the Cotton Bolls, also from The Greetery, make the perfect summer card.  I think the jewel tones on this aqua paper is dreamy.

Here's the inspiration photo:

Sea Glass Mason Jar

Hello friends~  Today's card was made for the Color Throwdown challenge. 

 When I saw the color inspiration picture, I immediately thought of sea glass.  And then sea glass made me think of blue Mason Jars.  And then blue Mason Jars made me think of this wonderful set from The Greetery, Just Mason Around.

You can't have an empty Mason Jar, it has to be filled with something, like maybe these Cotton Bolls from Cotton Comfort.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
