I used the Stampin’ Up! Jar Of Joy stamp set and Sweet Jar Builder Punch to create a quick and cute Christmas card to share with you today. Stampin’ Up! shared a card in one of the Demonstrator publications with this same stamp set and layout (I’m sharing their card below) so I CASE’d their card to create mine with a few changes.
I started by adhering a strip of Real Red patterned paper from the Regals 6″ x 6″ DSP to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with Stampin’ Seal. Then I adhered a wider strip of Crumb Cake Two-Tone Cardstock with Stampin’ Seal to the card front above the DSP panel. I cut a smaller strip of Crumb Cake Two-Tone Cardstock at an angle, flipped the lighter side up and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.
I stamped the jar image twice from the Jar Of Joy photopolymer stamp set (Online Exclusive item) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock. Then I stamped the cookie images from the Jar Of Joy stamp set in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso inks in one of the jars and the sentiment in Real Red ink in the other jar. I stamped the jar lids from the Jar Of Joy stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Early Espresso card stock twice and then punched the stamped images out with the coordinating Sweet Jar Builder Punch.
I adhered the jar punches and lids to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wrapped a strand of Real Red & White Baker’s Twine around the card front twice and tied a bow and then added three Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints to finish the card front.
I stamped the sentiment from the Jar Of Joy stamp set in Real Red ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then adhered a strip of Real Red DSP to finish the inside of the card.
This is the card that Stampin’ Up! shared with Demonstrators…so you can take your pick on the colors and images to create similar cards!
