Ink to Stamp - Sweetest Thing

 Hey, stampers! 

Thanks for joining me for another edition of Ink to Stamp.  I didn't go so far back this time.  I'm in a card swap group on Facebook called The Card Shack, and one of the swaps for this month was Sweet Treats.  I just knew I had this stamp set AND that I had to use it and the coordinating Designer Series paper. 

On the 3 1/2" square piece of basic white, stamp and heat emboss the sentiment and then embossed the entire panel, including the sentiment, using the Timeworn Embossing Folder. Set it aside for now.

Stamp and die cut the images on the scrap piece of basic white. I then stamped and colored the candy images in one of the jars... On the other, I used red, white and blue Nuvo drops to get a bubble gum look.  I then added a product called 3D Glaze to make both jars look like glass. Lastly, tied a couple of bows and added them to the jar.  Don't forget to stamp the "Treat" sentiment for the jar.

Cut the DSP in half on the 4" side. (Note: you can really cut this to any size, I just chose at the 2" mark for ease.) Line them up on the 4" x 5 1/4" piece of basic white (I do this because I have trouble lining things up.  If this is not a challenge for you, then you can adhere it directly on the 4 1/8" piece). I chose to use the reverse piece of the DSP.  Add coordinating ribbon and tie another bow. Now add this panel to the card base using your favorite adhesive

Coming into the home stretch...using Stampin' Seal C+ or liquid adhesive, adhere the first jar on the 3 1/2" panel that you set aside earlier.  Using dimensionals, adhere the other jar on the panel...overlapping the other jar just a little.  Now you are ready to add this panel to the card base.

Cutting:

A2 card base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Basic White: (1) 4" x 5 1/4"; (1) 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"; 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"; scrap to die cut the images
