Hello everyone. The other day while cleaning I found some wood jars I bought but never used. I don't even know who made them. And, my friend Debra also sent me a package of wood jars in a box she sent me - thanks, Debra! So I thought...why not make some Valentine's Day cards with them.

I decided to make two cards using a jar from each package and with the same Bouquet die from Impression Obsession. This die has a lot of pieces to it but it's so easy to work with.
The first thing I did was to make a top folding A2 card base of white cardstock to which I adhered a piece of pink cardstock. Then I used my Stitched Rectangle die to cut another piece of white cardstock, which I adhered to a piece of fun foam, which I then adhered to the card front.
I did this twice. I made one pink base and one kraft card base.

Next, I used Versamark ink and Fairy Dust Embossing Powder (WOW), to heat emboss the wood jars. I absolutely love how this Fairy Dust powder looks!! The larger jar has the word "love" cut out so I layered a piece of the pink cardstock behind it. The other jar has a hole but I will cover that later.
Next, I die cut the Bouquet die using a bunch of different colored scraps...greens for the base and leaves and pinks, oranges, etc. for the different flowers.
Then I started on the card front. First, I wrapped some pink thread around the jar with the hole in it and I adhered a crystal to cover the hole. Then I adhered the jars with wet glue and slipped the green plant stems behind them.
Then I adhered the different colored flowers to the stems. Some I glued down and the larger ones I put a piece of foam tape behind it to make it 3Dish.
On both cards, I added Stickles to some of the flowers. The jar with the pink twine, I added some stickers for a sentiment on the front. Both say "Happy Valentine's Day" on the inside.
And they are finished. I love all the open white space allowing the flowers to be front and center. What do you guys think? Leave me a comment below letting me know!
