Hello Mason Jar Shaker Card - Patty Folchert

The last in a series of Mason jar bouquets, this one carries us into summer. The cool tones palette started with a grey gingham backer for the jar itself. Then the flowers were stamped in pink and purple inks and cut out with the metal die on the Cuttlebug. The leaves were then stamped in green ink directly onto the card front. Next the heart and tag were stamped in grey and pink inks. Using the metal dies the heart and tag were cut out. Then stamp the mason jar outline directly onto the card front in grey ink. The last stamping is the Hello sentiment in pink ink onto the gingham backer. Use a small hole punch to punch hole in the tag and add string to the tag as shown. Now layer on the cut flowers and pop up three of them with foam dots. The shaker fillers are the last step, this card uses a mix of heart sequins, pink jewels and wood veneer arrows. That completes the card, this card is quite versatile and could be used as encouragement, thinking of you, Get Well or just a friendly note. Grab some supplies and give it a try, happy creating!
