Jar Gift:

Step 1

For the jar project gather the card stock, DSP and other items listed below and also shown on the right.   Instructions are for a mason jar as that is the most common jar to use.  However, above I used a smaller jar.

1 – Jar – 1 quart size, about 6 ½” tall x 3 ½” wide

Step 2

Different jars are different sizes; your wrap may need to be

adjusted to fit. This project uses a quart mason jar that is

about 6 ½” tall and 3 ½” wide.

Add Sticky Strip to both 3” ends of the 3” x 12” Holiday Happenings DSP.

Remove backing from Sticky Strip. Wrap DSP around the jar

starting with one end at the back of the jar and wrapping the

other end around until it meets or overlaps the first end.

Tie the 20” piece of Chocolate Chip ribbon around

the jar.

Step 3

Use the Coluzzle Cutting system to cut a 2 3/8” circle from

the 3” x 3” Rose Red card stock. This will use the 4th circle

guide from the center.

Trim tabs to finish cutting circle.

Use the 1 ¾” Circle Punch to punch a 2 ½” x 2 ½” scrap of

Chocolate Chip card stock.

Use the 1 ¼” Circle Punch to punch a 2” x 2” scrap of Regal

Rose card stock.

Stamp the “dessert” or other category image on scrap 2” x 2”

Confetti White card stock using Regal Rose ink.

Color in using a Blender pen and Regal Rose ink.

Use 1” Circle Punch to punch out image.

Sponge edge of 1” Confetti White circle using Chocolate Chip ink

and a Stamping Sponge.

Step 4

Use SNAIL to layer the 1” Confetti White circle, 1 ¼” Regal Rose

circle and the 1 ¾” Chocolate Chip circle.

Stamp the “from the kitchen of:” image on a 2” x 3” scrap of

Regal Rose card stock using Basic Black ink.

Use the Round Tab Punch to punch out the image.

Fold tab in half and use SNAIL to adhere it to the edge of the

2 3/8” Rose Red circle.

Use SNAIL to adhere layered circles onto 2 3/8” Rose Red

circle.

Add two pieces of Sticky Strip about 1 ½” each to the back of

the Rose Red circle.

Remove Sticky Strip backing and adhere circle onto jar lid.

Step 5

Stamp “yum scale” image in Basic Black ink on a 2” x 3”

Rose Red card stock.

Punch out image with Rounded Tab Punch.

Fold tab in half and gently bend tab sideways to round it.

Use SNAIL to adhere tab to the top edge of the DSP wrapper

on the front of the jar.

Use Blender Pen and Rose Red ink to fill in stars on the

“yum scale” or leave it blank for the recipient to fill in.

This versatile and useful jar is ready to give to your Valentine.

Slip a recipe card under the ribbon on the back side of the

jar and you have a thoughtful and delicious gift to give…if

you can resist making it for yourself!

 

Or fill the jar with homemade goodies like candy, roasted

nuts or cocoa mix. Or think outside the jar and fill it with

small gifts like toys, stamps, jewelry or a gift card to a

gourmet cooking store or a dinner out!

    My Favorite Wheel – Snowflake

    Posted by craftyperson on December 10, 2008

    Gosh, I love this wheel. I hope it never, ever becomes retired. I get so much use out of it every year. This year my Holiday theme is ‘Snowflakes’ – Ta Da! I used this roller on my card envelopes, gift bags, gift boxes, table runner, napkins and I’m sure I’ll think of more. What a sensational value. My favorite color with it – Bashful Blue.
