I’ve been playing with the Jar of Love Bundle quite a bit lately. It’s really versatile. It consists of the Jar of Love stamp set and the Everyday Jars Framelits Dies – bundled together to save you 10%! For today’s For You card, I used the bundle along with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Ruched Ribbon, and Affectionately Yours Designer Series Paper. It looks more complicated and time consuming than it is. The dies and Big Shot make quick work of all that cutting.
Here’s what I made:

I always decorate bottles of water for my classes, not only because attendees need to stay hydrated, but mostly to let them know how special I think they are, and how much I appreciate them. My Christmas in August card class was this Sunday, and I thought I would share those bottles with you today.
I used to buy larger bottles, but too much was wasted. These smaller ones are just right. The brand doesn’t matter. Remove the original label and measure it. Cut your paper to that measurement, or maybe just a little longer.
Here’s how I did it:
These particular bottles are Dasani 10.1 fl.oz. I cut the 9″ x 2″ belly band from the new Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper. I put some Fast Fuse adhesive at each end, and wrapped it around the bottle.
I stamped the banner from the new Banners for Christmas stamp set in Emerald Envy ink onto Whisper White card stock. I then stamped “Christmas” from the same stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink, and “in August” from the Project Life Date It stamp set in Delightful Dijon ink, inside the banner. Then I cut it out with the coordinating die from the Bunch of Banners Framelits. I attached the banner to the bottle with Fast Fuse, leaving just the two ends loose.
I recommend adding any ornamentation to the belly band after it’s on the bottle. If you add it before, it might pop off or stretch oddly when you curve the band around the bottle.
I hope this inspires you to do little things like this for your own events. Even just turning a boring old bottle of water into something that will make your guests feel special, since you went to the time and trouble (almost none of either, actually!) to create this for them.
Here’s what I used:
The first 2 items will be available when the new Holiday catalog goes live on September 1. Everything else is available now!

I love showing off other stampers’ work. Today I’m sharing a card that one of my customers, Katie Carter, made in my July Card Smorgasbord. Usually attendees make the cards just like the samples, but Katie decided to change this one up. The sample is a card I made months ago – you can see it here.
And here’s Katie’s card. I love the way she used different colors for the balloons. She used Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron and Emerald Envy.
This isn’t the first card of Katie’s that I’ve shared on my blog. You can see her adorable blue baby card here.
Thanks, Katie, for allowing me to share your talent with my blog followers!

Today I’m sharing another project from my Christmas in July class. I used a design from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack that you might not think of as Christmasy at first, but it’s all in how you use it. You can see a more summery card I made with this same designer paper here.
Here’s how I did it.
The card base is Old Olive card stock with a Whisper White card stock layer.
I stamped the first part of the sentiment, from the Time of Year stamp set, in Old Olive ink onto Whisper White card stock, then cut it out with the coordinating die from the Bunch of Banners Framelits. I adhered it to the DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut the second part of the sentiment from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper with a die from the Christmas Greeting Thinlits. I glued it to the DSP layer.
I used the Delicate Ornaments Thinlits to cut the lacy ball from a Gold Foil Sheet and the ornament top from a Silver Foil Sheet. I used the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch to cut a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper, and glued the gold piece to the front of it. I used Fast Fuse to adhere the silver top to the ornament. I attached it to the DSP layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I ran a double piece of Gold Metallic Thread through the ornament top and over the top of the DSP, then taped it to the back of the DSP with Fast Fuse.
I then glued the DSP layer to the card.
For the card’s interior, I stamped an image from the Embellished Ornaments stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock, then glued it to the card.

Today I’m sharing a project from my Christmas in July class. This cute little guy is so cold he’s blue. But I think he likes it that way. It’s a cute card that actually could be used for any winter occasion.
Here’s how I did it.
The card base is Soft Sky card stock with an Island Indigo layer on top. All the stamped images are from the Snow Place stamp set.
I stamped the Whisper White layer with snowflakes in Soft Sky. They’re subtle and don’t show well in this photo, I’m afraid. I ran it through the Big Shot using the Softly Falling embossing folder, then glued it to the card front.
I stamped the penguin and hat in Island Indigo ink onto another piece of Whisper White card stock, and cut them out with the coordinating dies from the Snow Friends Framelits. I used a Blender Pen to spread the ink of his beak and feet – it’s a very subtle way to color them in.
I stamped the sentiment in Island Indigo onto a strip of Whisper White card stock, and notched the right end – you can do this with the Banner Triple Punch or with Paper Snips. I matted the sentiment on a slightly wider strip of Soft Sky card stock and cut the end to match the white piece. I attached this to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I glued a pompom from the Whisper White Mini Pompom Trim to the hat as shown, then glued the hat to the penguin’s head. I attached this whole piece to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals, covering the left end of the sentiment.
The final touch is three Rhinestone Basic Jewels, 2 small and 1 medium size, on the snowy background.
