Just Mason Around With Friendship Jar Flowers

The Foral Stemmed were originally lovely lady.  I went to put Wink of Stella on them for a little shimmer and apparently picked up the yellow one instead of clear and sparkly

My purpose in making this card was to see what existing jar fillers I have from PTI that would work in conjunction with the "Just Mason Around" stamp set just released by The Greetery.  I am so in love with this jar set - its like none other that I already have and has become my go to for a mason jar.


All products are Papertrey Ink or The Greetery, unless otherwise stated.  The PTI Friendship Jar Flowers stamp set was designed by Nicole Heady (one of the original owners of the company) and the Jar and Bow were designed by Betsy Veldman a previous designer at PTI that now owns her own fabulous company called the Greetery.

Water Color - You Are So Loved

I created this card using the layout from Betsy Veldman's design but added different colored trees using the method of putting water color and water on stamping block and then picking it up by using the tree stamp.  I also used this method for the yellow flowers.  In addition, I added some gold pearlescent water color to the trees.  I am not sure the photo shows the subtle color of soon to be fall.

Betsy has tutorials on her blog for seven days on how to water color and shade each element of the Hand and Hand Stamp Set.  Betsy's Blog

This is my final creation (above) and I am hooked on water coloring now.  The combination of water coloring and card making go hand in hand (no pun intended)

All supplies are from the Greetery, unless otherwise stated.

Embroidered Blooms Thanks So Much

I wanted to use the leaves from PTI's Embroidered Blooms set.  This time I did a black and grey combination on Lovely Lady Pink Card Stock and it was a drastic contrast.  Therefore I put a layer of vellum over top to soften the contrast.  I love the font of the text in this set so much.
