Jar of Joy with Forever Plaid

This is a card that my customers did at a recent workshop.  The original idea came from Michelle Littwiller video I watched, and I loved her card, but I used the Forever Plaid 3E Embossing Folder because the Corrugated 3D EF retired this month.  One of my customers loves Gingerbread Men.  She bakes them every Christmas season and they are so delicious.  Of course, the Red and White Backed Peppermints really make it pop!


Stamp Set:  Jar of Joy

Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Real Red

Ink:  Early Espresso, Real Red

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Sweet Jar Builder Punch, Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, Textured Notes Dies, Read Red & White Baker’s Twine, Real Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints,  Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals,

 

1.     The base of the card is Crumb Cake cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Early Espresso cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the front of the card base.

3.    The third layer is Real Red cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and inserted into the Forever Plaid 3D EF and run it through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.

4.    Adhere the Real Red embossed image to the Early Espresso layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

5.    Die-cut a rectangle from the Textured Notes Dies in Crumb Cake cardstock.

6.    Ink up the sentiment “Wishing You the Sweetest Christmas” with Early Espresso ink at the top of the rectangle.

7.    On a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock, ink up the jar with Early Espresso ink.

8.    Now, take the gingerbread solid image stamp with Early Espresso ink and stamp inside the jar. Next, take the detailed outline image stamp with Real Red ink. (Tip:  Align with the gingerbread bow tie and buttons).

9.    Use the Sweet Jar Builder Punch to punch out the jar.  Use Real Red cardstock to punch out the lid and attach with a Mini Glue Dot or Multipurpose Glue.

10.  Tie a bow with the Red & White Baker’s Twine and attach to the lid with a Mini Glue Dot.

11.   Attach Textured Notes rectangle to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

12.  Add 3 Real Red & White Adhesive Backed Peppermints to the Textured Notes rectangle.
