Today’s project is a birthday card I made using the Jar of Flowers Bundle (Jar of Flowers stamp set and Jar Punch) and the Many Mates stamp set (available in a bundle with the Many Medallions Dies.) Once I had made the card, I realized I could have used it for the 4th of July blog hop a couple days ago. You can see the card I made for it here. I guess I got my patriotic card mojo a couple days too late.
I also used the new In Good Taste Designer Series Paper, which is full of amazing designs including carpet, tile, wood, etc. These papers are so incredibly versatile, they make this a must have pack of DSP for everyone. And check out the new 3/8″ Denim Ribbon. If that’s isn’t pure Americana, I don’t know what it.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Real Red card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 4 x 5-1/4″ (darker wood)
- In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 2″ x 1″ for the sentiment (lighter wood)
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Jar of Flowers stamp set:
- jar in black Memento ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
- stems in black Memento ink in jar
- flowers in black Memento ink onto another scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
Stamped with the Many Mates stamp set:
- sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto the smaller piece of DSP
Cut using the Jar Punch:
- jar with stems
Cut using Paper Snips:
- flowers
Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:
- stems in Old Olive
- water in jar in Pool Party
- flowers in Real Red, Night of Navy, and Old Olivx
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- ribbon adhered onto the top of the jar with Stampin’ Seal, wrapped around the jar, and tied in a bow
- jar and flowers adhered onto the DSP layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- poked a hole in the top two corners of the sentiment using a Take Your Pick Tool (paper piercer attachment)
- pulled apart a piece of blue/white/silver twine: pulled the silver out of one end, then the blue and white untwist from each other easily
- threaded the white twine through the two holes in the sentiment and tied both ends in knots on the front
- sentiment adhered onto the DSP layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
- twine pulled over the top of the DSP layer and adhered onto the back using Stampin’ Seal
- DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
