February Sweet Jar

I had so much fun stamping with the Jar of Joy set at Christmas () that I couldn’t wait to create with the Sweet Jar set, too! For this project, I designed a fun, gender-neutral birthday card that can easily be recreated using any Designer Series Paper you have on hand. With endless color combinations to choose from, it’s a design you can make again and again while getting a completely different look each time.

To add a little whimsy, I intentionally placed the strips of paper at slight angles. The crooked layout gives the card a playful feel—but if that makes your inner perfectionist twitch (and I know it did for some of my stamping friends!), you can absolutely line them up straight for a cleaner look.

The jar, lid, and sentiment are all popped up with dimensionals to give the card extra depth. A bit of ribbon and a few embellishments finish it off and add just the right amount of fun texture.

One of my favorite things about this stamp set is the sentiments. They’re designed so you can build your own greeting, which makes it easy to mix and match colors and create something a little different every time.

Plan the cheer. Stamp the joy. 🎄
