Jar of Love Easel Card

This is a fun idea that has been copied a few times, so I'm not 100% sure who designed this .. maybe Connie Stewart.  Becky Roberts did a cute version and her card was my inspiration.

Here are all the ingredients, including a small window sheet, Jar of Love set and inks.  You'll need a base jar and a front jar, the front jar has the cut out (and yes there's a die for that!)

I love the new in-colors so they are the hearts inside the jar.  

Foam strips make it super easy to make shaker cards.

So.. the easel back is 1 x 7 3/4 scored at 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, and 7

So.. the jar is really an easel and it comes right out of the card.... so it's a card and then it can be a little bit of desk decoration.

The photo to the right shows the easel jar tucked into the front of the card (I used my trimmer to put a 1 1/2 slit about 1 1/2 up and 1 1/2 over.)

I think this would be a fun birthday card too.

What do you think?  I think this has got me going and I'll be posting some new Jar of Love cards this week.  Don't forget that the bundle price (10% the set of stamps and dies) is only good til May 31.  But... great news, it's in the new catalog.

Haven't got your new catalog yet?  email me MaryKate@MaryKateScott.com and I'll put one in the mail to you.

happy crafting, MaryKate
