Jug Archives - Crafty-rootes

Today I am sharing a really sweet card made using a combination of the Making Christmas Bright and County Lane stamp sets to create a bouquet of lights,

Making the card

I started by stamping the sweet jug from the Country Home stamp set in Basic Gray ink onto a scrap of Smoky Slate cardstock and cut out the body of the jug using my super sharp Paper Snips. I stamped the jug again in Basic Gray onto a panel of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and added a little ‘ground’ using a Blender Pen and some Smoky Slate ink.

I inked up the bunch of balloon strings from the Balloon Celebration stamp set using the basic Gray ink and stamped it inside the jug on the Whisper White layer then added the Smoky Slate stamped jug, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive over the top to hide the ends.

Taking the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch I punched out some bulbs from scraps of Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel and Coastal Cabana cardstock. I then punched out the bulb fittings from scrap Basic Gray cardstock and adhered the parts together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Finally I coated the bulbs with Clear Wink of Stella……..gorgeous.

The bulbs were adhered over the strings with either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow with a Mini Glue Dot, to hold the ‘strings’ together.

Such a pretty card. I hope you like it

Supplies Used

Today I have been playing with the lovely Country Home stamp set and my Aquapainter. I love colouring in and using an Aquapainter and my ink pads makes this so easy.

Making the Country Home card

I cut a piece of Watercolor Paper 5” by 3½” and stamped the jug image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink in the lower right hand corner. I stamped the foliage image in the same ink on top of the jug and set the panel aside to dry.

Whilst I was waiting for the panel to try I cut a piece of Gray Granite cardstock 5⅞” by 1½”, spritzed it lightly with water and ran it through the Big Shot with the Tin Tile embossing folder. I love the great definition this folder gives.

For my colour palette I chose Gray Granite for the jug, Crumb Cake for the bulrushes, Granny Apple Green for the large leaves, Lemon Lime Twist & Daffodil Delight for the Artichoke, Mossy Meadow for the small leaves and Grapefruit Grove for the small buds. I squeezed ink into the lid of each pad and used my Aquapainter to colour in.

The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite ink. I then wrapped a piece of Granny Apple Green ½” ribbon around the left side of the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape.

I added the Gray Granite embossed piece to the front of a Grapefruit Grove card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I rounded the upper right corner of the card base and the stamped watercoloured panel using the Detailed Trio Punch. The stamped panel was added over top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” to the inside of the card having stamped the tile image in Granny Apple Green ink across the bottom. I stamped the same image in the same ink down the side of a Very vanilla envelope. to the inside of the card. To finish off I added a scatter of Faceted Dots.

Such a simple, pretty card. I hope you like it.
