Make Lemonade Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Lemonade, please!

Today we are featuring a delicious lemonade themed card by Ellen!

This fun card features our Jar Hot Foil Plate along with juicy lemons from our Lemon Twist Stamp Set. 

To create the jar part of the card Ellen used our Jar Hot Foil Plate and die. She used the hot foil plate to add silver foil onto a heat resistant transparency sheet. She then used the die from the set to cut out the shaker window from a blue inked background. She filled the jar shaker with lots of sequins and sparkle! 

Next, she stamped and colored the lemon pieces from our Lemon Twist Stamp Set. She colored them with alcohol markers, adding fun dotted details. She cut the lemons out using the coordinating Lemon Twist Die Set and arranged them around the jar. She also added a bit of sand along the bottom using our Land Borders Die Set to cut the curved edge. The whole thing is framed with a yellow scalloped edged panel that was cut out using our  Frames & Flags Die Set.  Last, she added the sentiment, embossed on white onto a yellow banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set.

Ellen decorated an envelope to match too! She used our Trailing Leaves Stencil to stencil yellow leaves onto the envelope flap and added the sentiment from the Lemon Twist Stamp Set. So fun! 

We hope your enjoyed this card by Ellen today!

Floral Filled Jars Card Set and Video by Jennifer Jackson

Filling Jars with Flowers! 

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing more fun ways to use our Jar Hot Foil Plate! Last week I shared a post where created a card using the jar as a terrarium (you can find that post here if you missed it). Today I'm back to share another awesome way to use the Jar by filling it with flowers! I was having so much fun with this that I created a whole series of cards using various blooms from our floral category. 

First I used our Jar Hot Foil Plate to foil the jar with a silver foil. I then used the coordinating die set (which comes with the plate) to cut it out.  For the first card I chose to use the daisy image from our Dainty Daisies Stamp Set. I added some color to the image using watercolor markers and then cut the image out using the coordinating Dainty Daisies Die Set. 

One I tucked the flowers into the jar I realized the image would be too large for a standard A2 (4.25" x 5.5") sized card so I decided to make an A7 (5" x 7") sized card instead. I cut out a large scallop edged rectangle using our A7 Frames and Banners Die Set. Then I added flowers to this panel using our Petite Flowers Stencil with some yellow and orange inks. 

Next, I decided the jar needed something behind it to frame it so I used our Oval Frames Die Set along with patterned paper from our Spring Blooms Paper Pad and some vellum to create two layers of ovals. 

For a message I added  the sentiment "Bright Birthday Wishes" from our Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates.  I foiled this using my hot foil machine with some gold foil and then cut it out using the Banner Duo Die Set. I layered this over the jar to complete this fun card!

Once this card was completed, I decided to create a few more cards using the same layout and different flowers. 

This was made exactly the same as above but uses our Daffodils Stamp Set: 

This one uses our Tulips Stamp Set: 

For this one I switched up the colors to purples and then used our Lilac Stamp Set:

And last, I switched the colors to pinks and used our Roses Stamp Set:

I hope you have enjoyed this post! I also created a video showing my card creation process for these fun cards that you can view below:

Terrarium Card & Video by Jennifer Jackson

Plant-astic Terrarium!

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a fun card that I created using our newest products together to created a terrarium!

In case you didn't know, I am the owner (with my husband Jeff) of Newton's Nook Designs and I do ALL  design creation for all of our products! When I was designing our new Hot Foil products I wanted to create something fun and shiny and came up with this adorable Jar Hot Foil. We revealed this jar with Fireflies to go inside it but when I was designing it I was also thinking of lots of other uses for the jar! One of the ideas I had was to add in our new Succulent Garden Stamp Set to create a terrarium so that is what I'm sharing with you today! 

If you are a fan of succulents like I am, you know how cute they look in different containers so I thought that filling the jar would be so cute! First I used our Jar Hot Foil Plate to foil the jar with a silver foil. I then used the coordinating die set (which comes with the plate) to cut it out. 

Next, I stamped a bunch of succulents using our Succulent Garden Stamp Set and colored them in shades of teal, green and purple using zig watercolor markers. I cut them all out using the coordinating Succulent Garden Die Set. Then I arranged them inside the foiled jar. Arranging the blooms is half the fun! I also added a bit of teal twine to the mouth of the jar for a fun detail. 

Then I added my jar to a card. The purple floral paper is from our Spring Blooms Paper Pad and I die cut it to give it a scalloped edge using our Frames & Flags Die Set. I used this same die set to cut out the stitched vellum rectangle and the light teal banner. I stamped the sentiment "You're PLANT-astic!" onto the banner and then assembled it all together! I love how this turned out. 

I also made a second version of this card with a video too. For this version I stamped the succulents onto colored paper and added just a touch of color for dimension. So quick and easy! 

You can view this video to see how easy this is to create! Enjoy!

I hope this card has inspired you to be creative and find ways to fill your foiled jars! What would you put inside yours? I'm thinking sweets or flowers next?
