HINTs:  
+Stamp the jar image onto a Window Sheet using Stazon ink; allow to dry; cut out using framelit; wrap several times with twine; adhere stamped side down on mat using glue dots.
+The "frame" in drawn about 1/4" from each edge using marker and ruler.
+Paper pierce in upper left corner before adhering the card front to the base.
+Pop up one flower using 2 dimensionals; use one more dimensional to adhere its center.

As I look at my card some more, I think it needs one more flower, or to have the sentiment moved up about in line with the neck of the jar.  Might give it more balance.  What do you think?

Hope this idea spurs on your ideas.

Happy stampin'!

PERFECTLY PRESERVED

Hi Stampers!
Hope your weekend was a lovely one.  We were visited with rain both Friday and Saturday, which was a welcome relief in the midst of the drought, but yesterday the sun and the heat returned and the AC went back on.  Someday, autumn will come.

In the meantime, I can dream of canning and make cards like this one my club did recently featuring our Perfectly Preserved stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.

The jar, cap, pear and leaf were all die cut using our new Cannery framelits and the Big Shot.

The paper strips are from our Orchard Harvest designer series paper pack.  Stampin' Up!'s coordinated inks, papers, stamps and dies makes designing cards and crafts fun and easy.  Here I used More Mustard, Lucky Limeade, Raspberry Ripple, Early Espresso, and Whisper White.

A little bow of  white Baker's Twine and your card is good to go.  Love it!

Until the next time,  happy stamping!
