The Stamp Review Crew: Jar of Love

Welcome to another Stamp Crew Review Blog Hop!  We share our take on a selected stamp set every first and third Monday.  This week we are taking a look at the Jar of Love bundle, which includes the Jar of Love stamp set and matching Everyday Jars framelits.   If you are following the blog hop order, you have just come from the hugely talented Holly Stene's blog.  I just love her style!

Combining my project with this week's Sunday Stamps Challenge, I started with a flower focus.

There are several ways to add stems to your jar and make them look like they are inside the jar.  Here I chose for stamping on the jar cut-out and gluing the stem cut-outs to the backside of the jar.  I used Freshly Made Sketches #247 for my card.

Stamps: Jar of Love; Paper: Marina Mist, Very Vanilla, Whisper White, A Little Foxy DSP; Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sky, Pool Party, Marina Mist, Dapper Denim, Smoky Slate, Memento Tuxedo Black; Accessories: Very Vanilla Lace Trim, Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon, White Baker's Twine, 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Everyday Jars framelits, Big Shot, Dimensionals.

Once I got started with this color palette, I made another card featuring our limited-time bundle Thoughtful Branches.

This is a tall skinny 3-3/4 x 6" card, so I am thankful we have the Envelope Punch Board so I can make any size envelope I need!  So a story came over my Facebook feed today that a fiance of a local woman who suffered a head injury by a car incident in a parking lot was calling for birthday cards to celebrate her 50th birthday.  This one will be going to her.

I stamped two layers of hydrangeas, both on Whisper White and Soft Sky card stock, first with Soft Sky ink and then overstamping by sponging Marina Mist and Dapper Denim on areas of the stamp.  The jar is stamped both on Very Vanilla and acetate, and the flower stem is layered in between.
