A wedding jar!

Dear friends...

I have a very special coworker who will get married tomorrow.  He is a great man and has a beautiful girlfriend.  I wish them the best in this new path in life.

I wanted to show you the card I made for them.

Their wedding is going to be celebrated in outdoors and as far as I know they will have key vintage country elements in the decoration and theme of the wedding, such as mason jars, photos, etc...   So I thought it would be appropriate to use this beautiful stamp from Unity Stamp Co. showing this big jar.

I used the word "love" in Spanish to fill the jar (this is a wood embellishment from Latina Crafter), and added the wedding colors with embossed cardstock and paper straws.

I will give this to them tomorrow, since I have the honor to be one of the guests... :)  Actually, I made their wedding invitations and I will share them with you tomorrow.  Stay tuned.

Leave a message today since I will be linking this to Unity Friday Friends with Flair.  And come back tomorrow to see the invitations.

Jars of Love

Hello my friends... 

Is this a great day or what?  Well, you decide!

For today's Friday Friends with Flair at UnityStamp Co., I decided to show you one of the cards I made for a class last month.  I actually made two sets of 5 cards for the class and this is the one I chose for my mom.

I used the "Jars of Love X 3" and "A Mother's Love" kits... Fabulous kits!  Click on the names to see them and keep reading for a change to win...

I stamped the jars in vellum and put some things inside these beauties.  Some people at the class did not know they could stamp on vellum.  I say you can stamp on any surface... using the right ink.  I recommend dye ink because it dries fast.  A pigment or distress ink wouldn't probably work well on vellum.  After all, you find out what you can or can't do by creating.  I don't like rules in my scrapbooking... LOL!

I filled one jar with flowers, another was just labeled and one was destined to carry hearts full of love.

Flowers were heat embossed. Hope you can see the detail.

And my mom loved the card!!!!

Hope you like it too.  I will be sharing the other cards in future posts.  Do you wanna see them?

IMPORTANT:  Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win with Unity Stamp Co....  And, there's a double fun giveaway here.... If you go to my Facebook fan page HERE you can also win one of the two prizes I'll be giving away.  One is a Jars of Love x 3 kit and another one is the "A Mother's Love" kit.  These are the ones I used for this card.  I will giveaway to two lucky friends randomly chosen.  Just go there and like me if you haven't, and leave a comment in the post that linked this entry.  You have all weekend, so invite your friends to do the same.  I wanna read all your comments.

Have a great weekend!

Christmas Mason Jars

Hey!  Wonderful Friday Friends!

It's almost Christmas... We are just 5 days away! Super!

Today, I will have the Secret Santa gift exchange at work.  We'll go out for lunch and stay the afternoon in a get together.  Awesome!  It's a great way to spend a Friday at work!

I will give a token of appreciation or little detail to some of the co-workers.  I made some "polvorones" (kind of a sweet cookie or biscuit that I did not find how to translate to English... LOL), and put them in mason jars for the girls...

I used some patterned paper / journaling cards and added a touch with some Unity Stamp Co. stamps...

This one is not even from a Christmas kit but loved the sentiment "Are you thinking pretty thoughts?".

This other one... "... wonderful things are about to happen..."

And this other one I really love...  Christmas words of wisdom...  Don't have to do anything to it... It's great just the way it is.

Three jars for 3 girls.

If you noticed that I photographed them in front of books, remember that my Xmas tree is kind of peculiar this year...  Haven't you seen it?  CLICK HERE.

For the boys I made something different.  Will share in a future post.

Have a great "weekend before Christmas".

Tks for your comments.
