A couple of jars

 I used PTI Friendship Jars and additions, one of my favorite stamp sets ever, to make these two simple cards
.

This first one uses the marbles? or bubblegum? or candy? and jar from PTI and a noteblock stamp from Purple Onion Stamps. The papers are from October Afternoon- I love them.

I'm entering this first card in the Off the Wall Craftiness color challenge. How could I not be inspired by such a beautiful collage of photos? Oh how I love vintage...and the idea of vintage fairs and carnivals and parties that I get from this color board. (Okay IRL fairs and carnivals are stinky)




 

This card uses the PTI Jar and pickles, and Melissa Frances Kitschy Kitchen papers. This is my FIRST ever attempt at paper piecing. It was fun, I might (maybe just might) do it again...hah
I entered this card over at Moxie Fab World for their paper piecing challenge.

    Oh love both of these - springy colours and that vintage look with the jars. Keep paper piecing, that's what I say!

    OH Good Lord! Both cards are so fabulous! The pickles are a hoot! I must admit, I am a sucker for the old pinking shears. Love.

    Beautiful! My fav is the first one - love the papers, colors, design and the jar of candy! I saw the OTWC colors and thought - whoa, too bright - can't do it. But you totally rocked it. Vintage never came to mind for me, lol.
