A Jar Full of Thanks

Today I have a set of thank you cards to share with you (and one lucky winner).  I am back home after moving my daughter to college and as promised I will announce the winner of the Candy Jar Contest from last week. But first let’s get to today’s card.

I used the Jar of Love stamp set and dies and the 2016-2018 In Colors to create a set of thank you cards.  *It was featured in an article on homemade thank you cards on gifts.com. You can view it HERE.

I love making sets of cards to give as gifts.  They are great for teachers (I know because I am a teacher and need a lot of thank you cards) as well as hostesses, friends, family… or contest winners!

I stamped the middle sized jar on a piece of whisper white cardstock with smoky slate ink. I stamped the leaves in emerald envy and 3 flowers for each card using dapper denim, flirty flamingo, peekaboo peach, and sweet sugarplum ink. I cut the flowers out using the Everyday Jars Framelits. I attached the flowers to the leaves with glue dots. Here’s photos showing the making of the card in Dapper Denim.

Next, I stamped the jar on another piece of whisper white and stamped the sentiment in the same color as the flowers.  I cut out the jar with the matching framelit and attached it on top of the other jar with dimensionals.  I adhered it to a layer of emerald envy cardstock and attached a matching bow with a glue dot.

I adhered the In Color Designer Series Paper to the card base and attached the jar layer with dimensionals. I love to make matching envelopes!

What’s your favorite In Color?

I have to ship these cards so I put them in a wide stamp case. I also added some chocolate kisses…it just seemed appropriate as it was a candy contest.  Check back tomorrow and I will share how to turn the stamp case in to a gift box as well as an alternative idea for a card box.

So, I bet you’re wondering how much candy was in the Jar of Love.  Here’s another look at the jar from last week.

The Jar of Love was for my daughter and before I gave it to her I counted the number of days she would be away until she comes home for Christmas.  She always kissed me goodnight so I put 91 (good night) kisses in the jar and 40 hugs (as needed) for a total of 131 pieces of candy.  And the winner is….Ramsey!  Congratulations Ramsey!  You were the closest at 126!  Email me (j.stark@myactv.net) your address and I will send this box of cards and candy to you.  I so appreciate everyone who played along and all the comments on my blog.

Here’s a couple of pictures of my daughter’s dorm room after we moved her in.  Do you recognize anything in the photos?

Have a wonderful day!
