Mason Jar Treats

Nothing says Fall like Mason Jars.

Tracy here from the Idea Closet sharing my newest project from SVG Attic.

Jam, pie filling, apple sauce or even pickles, it doesn't matter, ever since I was a little girl, September was the month to bottle.  Soon after I got married my Grandmother gave me  ALL  of her jars. Every September when I pull them out, I think of her.

That's why I love these beautiful mason jars from the JGW Canning Essentials Kit.  The short jar file can be found in the Silhouette Design store HERE.



Fill the Paper Mason Jars with your favorite fall candy (chocolate and caramel right?) Then share them with some one special.

The jars are easy to put together and Jodi has all the instructions here.

To add a little bit of color to the jars, use printed card stock in the smaller windows instead of the acetate (or transparency).



The pattern also comes with instructions to make a fabric topper.
I wanted to use some of the printed paper on the lid so instead of the topper I added ribbon, twine and leaves.

This was such a fun project I hope you will try it then share your design with us on Facebook.

Heart Top Boxes with Beth

Good morning!  Beth from Beth's Beauties with you today.  My project is Valentine treat boxes for my sons' teachers.

I used the heart gift box file from SVG Attic's Be Mine set.  Those boxes can really hold a lot of candy!  I made them in two different color schemes, but kept a pink theme with them both.

The first one is made with cream cardstock and DCWV's Mercury Glass stack. The second is made using DCWV's Happy Day stack.

 For the tag on them both, I used a file from the JGW Canning Essentials kit.  I added some stamps and Trendy Twine to tie them onto the boxes.

 Here is a view of the top, the prettiest part of the box!  You can see the hearts when it is all folded closed.

Candy Canes in a Jar ~ with Angeline Choo

Hi. It's Angeline here today to share with you this Christmas project I made with the JGW Canning Essentials Kit.

 Christmas is just in TWO days time and if you've not made anything, this would be the perfect cute little gift you could gift someone :)

Because mason jars cost a fortune where I am, I LOVE these mason jars that Jodi has designed. The kit came with a short jar and a long jar along with toppers, labels and more. Here, I've used the short jar which also came with a lid.

I chose an aqua blue/green color for the jar and made a tag and tied it with some twine. Then I filled them up with mini candy canes! 

I'm getting a sugar rush just looking at this jar. Hehe. :)

Have fun creating and Merry Christmas to all of you!

Fall Table Center Piece

I hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather.  I know in some part of the country winter has already arrived, but here in El Paso, Texas, we are still having very nice days, a little bit of rain, and awesome sunsets.

For this post, I created a fall center piece using Canning Essentials Svg Kit.  I got the inspiration from a project by Tammy Tutterow, but instead of using real glass, I used overhead transparencies.  The paper I used was from the Paper Company.  It was a gold embossed cardstock.  To make the tall jar look vintage, I applied alcohol inks in Ginger, Caramel, and Butterscotch plus Clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint to the transparency.  I added an electronic candle in the middle and dried vegetables to make it sturdy.  The addition of the light makes the "glass" glittery!

I cut out the leaves and acorns from the Harvest Blessings Card Kit.  To the ribbon I added the same colors but with the Distress Stains to match the colors on the glass.  I used fall colors of Distress Paints on the Leaves.  These are from the Fall Ensemble Kit.  The other leaves I die cut with three different Provo Craft dies.  I also added two push pins, a peacock feather and small white pearls.  The branches are also a Tim Holtz die cut.

The other two jars were made with transparencies and regular cardstock, one in brown and the other in a rust color.  I cut out the decorative toppers from fabric "cardstock" I had in my stash and natural twine.

So there you have it, a fall center piece to enjoy over and over again throughout the years.

Happy crafting!

Halloween Canning Jars ~ with Cyndy G

I can't believe Halloween is just a little more than a week away!  There is still time to get one more Halloween project in.  Today I am sharing the JGW Canning Essentials Kit,  SDS Spooky Cards and the SDS Skull Medallion.  As soon as I saw the Jars I knew what I wanted to do with them.

I love the way they turned out!  I shrunk the cards down to make tags out of them.

I used the cross bones as my poison symbol on the jars and my favorite touch was adding a red oval to the end of the pickle to make it look like a witch's finger!

My kids loved these jars.  I was informed that they like the big jar best.  When I asked why they said "Because you can eat what's in it."  I should have known that.

I filled the jar with eyeball gum that I found at Michael's.  What a fun project.  I love the versatility these sets have.

What I used to create this project:
JGW Canning Essentials Kit,
SDS Spooky Cards
SDS Skull Medallion.
Simple shapes - Oval
Teresa Collins Haunted Hallows paper
Eyeball gum

Please post pictures on our FB page of the ways you have used this set, I would love to see them!  Until next time.

Do what inspires you,
Cyndy G
