Cut cardstock and vellum to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Petal Pink Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Mossy Meadow Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Petal Pink Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Vellum Cardstock
- 2" x 2-1/4" from Vellum Cardstock
- 1" x 2" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 3 pieces each 1-1/4" x 2" from Petal Pink Cardstock
Place the Buffalo Check background stamp rubber side up on Grid Paper on your work surface . Ink up the stamp by pouncing or rubbing the Petal Pink Ink Pad all over it. Leave the inked up stamp face up on your work surface. Carefully place the large Petal Pink rectangle on the stamp. Fold the Grid Paper up and over the top of everything and rub firmly all over. Using the Grid Paper protects your hands from getting ink on them.
Tip: I just clean my background stamps by running them under water until the water runs clear. Then, I let them air dry.
Adhere the stamped Petal Pink rectangle to the Mossy Meadow rectangle and then to the front of the Petal Pink card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Jar of Love Set, place the cardstock or vellum on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the large jar image from the Jar of Love Set on Block D. Ink it up with the StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the large vellum rectangle. Set aside to let dry thoroughly.
Mount the small jar image from the Jar of Love Set on Block C. Ink it up with the StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small vellum rectangle. Set aside to let dry thoroughly.
Mount the long, thin stem with two branches image from the Jar of Love Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it on one of the Pear Pizzazz rectangles in the center. Re-ink the stamp and stamp on the other Pear Pizzazz rectangle in the center.
Use the pencil to draw a small arrow pointing up in one corner of each of the three small rectangles of Petal Pink.
Mount the set of two, solid flowers image from the Jar of Love Set on Block B so the arrow molded into the stamp is pointing up. Ink it up with the Petal Pink Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of one of the small Petal Pink rectangles so that the penciled arrow is pointing up and the arrow molded onto the stamp is pointing up. Repeat with the other two small rectangles of Petal Pink making sure to re-ink the stamp each time.
Mount the set of two flower centers image from the Jar of Love Set on Block B so the arrow molded into the stamp is pointing up. Ink it up with the Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of one of the Petal Pink flowers stamped on the small Petal Pink rectangles so that the penciled arrow is pointing up and the arrow molded onto the stamp is pointing up. Repeat with the other two sets of flowers stamped on the small rectangles of Petal Pink making sure to re-ink the stamp each time.
Mount the burlap wrap image from the Jar of Love Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Petal Pink Ink Pad. Stamp onto Grid Paper one time. Then, WITHOUT re-inking, stamp in the center of the small rectangle of white cardstock.
Mount the single word image of your choice from the Jar of Love Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Cherry Cobbler Ink Pad. Stamp in the center of the pink burlap wrap image on the small rectangle of white cardstock.
Pick out the large jar framelit from the Everyday Jars Framelits. Place the large stamped jar image on vellum on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the large jar framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped jar image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Cut out the pink burlap wrap image with the word stamped on it using Paper Snips.
Adhere the burlap wrap image to the vellum jar cut out just above center.
Pick out the long, thin stem with two branches framelit from the Everyday Jars Framelits. Place one of the stamped stem images on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the stem framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped stem image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Repeat with the other stem image.
Put some SNAIL on the back of the jar cut out where it will be hidden by the burlap wrap cut out. Adhere the two stem cut outs to the back of the jar so they are poking out from the top of the jar.
Put a couple of squished up Mini Glue Dots on the backs of a couple of the leaves on the stem cut outs.
Adhere the large jar cut out with stems coming out of it to the left side of the card front so the bottom of the jar is about 3/4" from the bottom of the card.
Pick out the small jar framelit from the Everyday Jars Framelits. Place the small stamped jar image on vellum on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the small jar framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped jar image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Cut a piece of 5/8" Striped Burlap Trim that is 1-9/16" long.
Put a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the center of the front of the small jar cut out.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape. Adhere the piece of burlap trim to the center of the small jar cut out.
Use another piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the small jar cut out where it is hidden by the burlap trim to adhere the small jar cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the right edge of the large jar cut out a tiny bit and is about 1/2" from the bottom of the card.
Pick out the set of two flowers framelit from the Everyday Jars Framelits. Place one of the set of two flowers images on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the set of two flowers framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped flowers images. The arrow penciled on the cardstock and the tiny metal arrow on the framelit should be pointing up. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Repeat with the other two sets of stamped flower images.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere two of the small flower cut outs to the stems on the card front. Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the third small flower cut out to the bottom right side of the small jar image on the card front.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the three large flower cut outs to the card front so one overlaps the top of the large jar on the right side, one overlaps the top of the small jar on the left side, and one overlaps the bottom left of the large jar.
Carefully peel up a square rhinestone gem from the sheet of Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the upper right corner of the card front.
