I'm back...finally! Thanks to all that have continued to check my blog for updates and I apologize for being absent for so long.
Well I finally got my new rub-ons from the new Stampin' Up! catalog! So I had to play with them. Check out this jar that my sister bought at Big Lots this past summer. It looks like a package that has a bow tied around it. I used the Eastern Elegance rub-ons on this jar. It was so fun and easy to do! The new rub-ons come with 2 sheets per package, 1 each of black and white. There are lots of images on each sheet. I used one of the 12" borders around the corners of the jar lid (cutting the size piece I needed for each corner) and used a flower in the center of each side. For the front of the jar I used the large flower. You need to be careful when you are trying to figure out where you want to lay your image down. I was trying to decide if I wanted to center my flower with 2 petals across the ribbon (at the top and bottom) or if I wanted 1 petal centered. Well...part of the rub-on adhered to the jar when I had the 2 petals across the ribbon at the top, so that is what I went with. But I think I would have preferred the 1 petal...oh well!
For the sides of the jar I used the widest 12" flower border. I needed 4 inches for each side which means I would need 16" for the whole jar, that is why I opted for the flower on the front of the jar. To right is a picture of the side of the jar.
I also created a tag that you can sort of see on the side of the jar. I used a sample swatch of counter-top laminate that I got from the hardware store and inked it with VersaMark and then sprinkled red embossing powder on it and heat embossed it. Then I used more of the rub-ons to decorate the tag. I also used a few of the white rub-ons. See a close-up view of the tag below.
I filled the jar with Cupid Corn - how cute are they?
I hope you enjoyed this project. I'm thinking about holding a Rub-on Class and using this jar as one of the projects, let me know if you would be interested in this class.
