Hello and welcome to the World Card Making Day Blog Hop! I’m excited you’ve joined me as I have LOTS of fun scheduled for this incredible day! World Card Making Day is officially the first Saturday in October (Oct 1 this year), but I’m kicking things off a little early with a blog hop on Friday night with fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. So without further adieu, here’s my card:
I’ve fallen in love, ok I’ve become totally obsessed, with all things ‘jar’ related in the Stampin’ Up! catalogues. Today’s card uses the Jar of Love stamp set, as well as the stunning Helping Me Grow stamp set – where you’ll find that big beautiful blossom. I have a few creative tips to share so you can recreate this card, but first I’m excited to share a fun promotion I have to celebrate World Card Making Day!

Now let’s get on to the details of that adorable birthday card.
Creative Tips:
- Think outside the stamp set. Just because the Jar of Love stamp set doesn’t have large flower stamps, doesn’t mean that should limit you. Grab your favourite flower stamp set with large blossoms and combine them.
- Watercolour paper for the win. Using your Aqua Painter and the ink colours of your choice you can create beautiful watercoloured images, just make sure you have the right paper.
Thank you so much for visiting, now please go and visit my blog hopping friends:

I adore this flower from the Helping me Grow set, I am so pleased you have used it with the jar of love combo. Perfect. TFS
Gorgeous card! Why do I not own this stamp set yet??
Like Bec said…..Why have I not bought this stamp set yet…..beautiful card
Oh Allison, this is just gorgeous. What a wonderful mix-it-up stamp combo! Can I please marry your brain?!
Happy World Card Making Day. xo
Lovely Project
I love how you've popped certain elements up here! And peek-a-boo peach and pumpkin blend so well together! Who woulda thunk?
What a wonderful way to showcase and promote your products. It is so good to see that you are thinking outside the box (SU box). Sometimes demonstrators just get so caught up in the one stamp set use. Great flexibility in the jar set for so many things. TFS and for the inspiration.
What a amazing card Allison ;o)
Love the colors…
Gorgeous Allison. I love this flower with the jar. Stunning.
What an amazing card! It is stupid that we sometimes seem to forget all the wonderful stamps we already have when the new catalogue comes out. I love that you combined a few 'older' ones to make this gorgeous card. Greets, Natalie – Het Knutsellab
I too love the Jar set and like the colours you have used, TFS
Beautiful! Love how you combined these sets. I'm gonna have to get some banners… Thx for sharing!
