I have had a great time today making a Country Jar card using both the Jar of Love stamp set and the Country Home stamp set. They combine beautifully.
Making the Country Jar card
I began by stamping the medium jar image from the Jar of Love stamp set onto a scrap piece of Tropical Escape dsp. I cut the jar out using the Everyday Jar framelits and my Big Shot and cut away the screw top to the jar with my scissors.

I took a panel of Watercolor Paper measuring 4⅛” by 3” and stamped the floral image from the Country Home stamp set towards the top using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. For my colour palette I chose Smoky Slate for the cotton buds, Blushing Bride for the seed pods, Mint Macaron for the leaves, So Saffron for the larger buds, and Flirty Flamingo for the central flower and Blackberry Bliss for the small buds. I squeezed ink into the lid of each pad and used my Aquapainter to apply the colour.

When the ink was dried I added the watercolour panel, with Multipurpose Glue, to a piece of Tropical Escape dsp measuring 4⅛” by 3⅜” leaving a slightly larger border on the left. The die cut jar was then added using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
The panel was then added to the front of a Blushing Bride card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using a Mini Glue Dot I added a Rich Razzelberry bow to the top of the jar, made using the Nature’s Twine.

I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink onto a ⅜” wide scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and banner punched the ends using the Tailored Tag punch. This was adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To complete the card I added some Blackberry Bliss faceted dots.

For the inside of the card I added a panel of Very Vanilla decorated with a strip of the same dsp. I used another dsp strip on the side of a Very Vanilla envelope. I am really happy with the look of this card.
