Jar of Love (Stampin Up) For You Card Set

I was looking through the Annual 2017-2018 Stampin Up Catalog, and I saw an adorable card idea on page 28 that used the Jar of Love stamp set, so I had to give it a try! 



I decided to make a set of cards I could give away as a gift. 



When creating this card I would ink up my stamp, stamp once on a piece of scrap paper and then stamp again (without inking my stamp back up) on my card base. Using the same color I would ink up my layering stamp and stamp on top of the first image. That is what creates the “layered” look. While I only used 3 different ink pads to create the flowers, it looks like I used 6!

 



This is definetly a beautiful, fast and easy card to make... as long as you remember to layer!

This was a first

My childhood friend is getting married so I decided my daughter and I would make her a special book to help keep track of all the wedding information she collects. 



I used a vintage book I picked up at a goodwill. Removed the spine and got to work. 



I added a few cascading pockets tomhold important business cards or little notes. 


I found a free beautiful 2018 calendar here. 





I added a few coloring book pages in case she needs a planning break. 


I added about 30 pages of plain lined paper, who doesn’t need to jot down important notes when planning a wedding?!


The last “page” is a small envelope folded in half so it creates 2 pockets, one that shuts and another just to tuck important bits. 




I binded the whole thing together with my Heidi Swapp Cinch. It is my newest toy and it is so easy to use and leaves me with an awesomely polished looking finished product. 


Over all I am completely happy with this little notebook. This was my first attempt and I am ready to make more!!
