Spellbinders March 2021 Club Kits Blog Hop: Bee Happy Mason Jar Shaker Card
Hello, Friends! Welcome to the Spellbinders March 2021 Club Kits Blog Hop! You should be coming here from Jennifer’s lovely blog. I have a serious crafty crush on this month’s Amazing Paper Grace Mini Vignette Floral Mason Jar Die Set. First, I collect vintage Mason Jars. Secondly, I adore shaker cards. And then there are the lovely Cinch and Go flowers that come with this set. Ooh la la! So the minute I took this lovely little die out of the packaging, I knew I would be shaking things up in my studio.
Bee Happy Mason Jar Shaker Card
It’s hard not to be happy when you look at this fresh as a daisy card. Here’s how it came together:
- First, create a 5″ x 7″ kraft card base with a 1/2″ top fold spine.
- Next, cut a 4 3/4″ x 4 1/2″ panel of the daisy patterned paper from Carta Bella’s Flower Garden paper collection.
- Then, layer on a 4 3/4″ x 3 1/4″ panel of pink check paper.
- Now die cut a doily background using the largest Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Circle Die, *Linked in Supply List below.
- Next, die cut the lacy flourishes using the die from the APG DOM kit. Adhere these where the two patterned papers meet.
- Fussy cut some little seed packets and adhere in the top right corner.
- Now adhere the doily and the mason jar.
- Next die cut flower layers and leaves, shape, add stamens and adhere.
- Finally, add a row of daisies, a bee hive button and ribbon to complete the card front.
How to Make a Mini Mason Jar Embellishment
If you’d like to learn how I turned the vignette die into a shaker embellishment I have a little video tutorial you can watch.
Be warned! Making these little Mason Jar shakers is addictive! I’ve made several this month. You can see them HERE and HERE.
A Peek Inside
This is one of my signature “Tea Party in a Box” cards. Gift wrap chocolate, cookies, and a tea bag with scraps of designer paper. Then tuck in a vintage silver plate spoon and a honey stick to complete the tea party. Everything fits neatly into the box pocket. Now you have turned this card into a gift! You can find this card in my ETSY shop.
