I am in love with the Jar of Flowers Bundle!  I've shared other cards in previous blog posts - you can check them out my May 26th Post and June 6th Post.  These cards make me happy - they are so cheery!  If you love to colour like I do, this stamp set is perfect!

  6. Lay the Whisper White cardstock piece on the Designer Series Paper and adhere the cut out jar in the punched opening using Stampin' Seal.
  7. Adhere a Mason Jar Shaker Dome to the Whisper White cardstock piece by peeling off the tape on the top side of the dome and inserting it into the opening through the back.
  8. Use your Embossing Buddy to wipe the inside of the dome to remove any static.
  9. Add some Flowers for Every Season Gems on top of the jar making sure they are inside the jar lines.  
  10. Peel off the back tap of the Jar Dome and adhere over top of the jar shape and gems.
  11. Cut a 3" piece of ribbon, fold in half and tuck under the right hand side of the Whisper White cardstock piece.  Adhere with Stampin' Seal.
  12. Adhere the Whisper White piece with the Dome now attached to the Designer Series Paper using Stampin' Seal
  13. Adhere to the card base using Stampin' Seal
  14. Adhere the flowers over top of the dome using Dimensionals.
