These Boots Were Made for Walkin' (Or Not as the Case Maybe)!

Hi everyone, do you sometimes wonder what to so with an image in a stamp set?  I had this very problem, I kept looking at the boot image in the Country Livin' stamp set and thinking "How can I use this image".  After watercolouring the guitar image with Soft Suede for another card, I decided to at least stamp and colour the boots (maybe and an idea would evolve).

They sat on my work table for a couple of days looking forlorn, until I had an idea (told you it would come eventually).  When I was cleaning up some of my bits and pieces I found a background I had made using the decorative strip from the Flourish Thinlits and sponging Crumb Cake ink.  I put the two together, with a little bit of the decorative strip, added some flowers (these were also left over from a previous project), a sentiment and some gold sequin.

These Boots Were Made for Walkin' (Or Not as the Case Maybe)!

Jar of Cookies

Hi everyone, how cute are these little cookie jar favours.

I have been playing with the new Everyday Jars Framelits and the Jar of Love stamp set.  I made a little box that fits between two of the large jar images.

Measurements in metric are (imperial are at the bottom of the post):

Cut a piece of Kraft cardstock 13.5cm x 5cm.
Score on the long edge at 4cm, 6cm, 10cm and 12cm.
Score on the short edge at 2cm.

Snip on the lines as shown on the template and burnish all score lines and join the two sides together, the small tab goes on the inside of the box.  Fold the bottom up for form the base of the box. Adhere to the two Jar pieces cut using the Everyday Jar Framelits. I stamped the jar image on the Kraft cardstock using Early Espresso before I cut it out.

I decorated the jar using the small flower images from the Jar of Love stamp set using a colour combination of Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, So Saffron and Delightful Dijon.  The leaf image was stamped using Emerald Envy.

The patterned paper is from the Moroccan Designer Series Paper pack, I had small scraps from another project which I was able to use for the jar lids.  In fact all the cardstock and patterned paper used on these little favours were scraps left from other projects. What a terrific way to use these small pieces.

The word "Enjoy" is from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set and was punched out using the Classic Label Punch.  A piece of Basic Black bakers twine was used to close the top of the box.

Imperial Measurements:

Cardstock 2" x 5 1/4"

Score on the long edge at 1 5/8", 2 3/8", 4" and 4 3/4"

Score on the short edge at 3/4"
