Doodlebug Design | Love Notes Flower Mason Jar Box Card

I love fresh flowers, they really brighten up a room.  We have a farm stand near us that sells little bunches of flowers in Mason jar vases.  They are so fun, and make the perfect gift!  When I saw the jar with flowers in Doodlebug's Love Notes Odds & Ends pack, I thought it would make a fun card... flowers that would always be bright and cheery!

I used a combination of Petite Prints and Love Notes Papers for the card.  The jar sides are made from transparency material.  I finished it off with a little tag from the Kissing Tag Paper and some Doodle Twine.  The card folds flat for mailing.

I created an SVG for this card and it is available exclusively in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.  Here is a quick tutorial to help you piece it together.

1)  Start by cutting the pieces.  Glue the jar shapes to the 2 larger transparencies.  Add the stems to the smaller transparency.  Add the flowers to the top piece and the inside pieces to the jar lid.

2)  Fold the base piece as shown.  Glue the two sides of the Jar to the base.

3)  Add the longer folded strip to the bottom of the jar, making sure it is centered.

4)  Add one of the smaller folded strips to the top of the transparency with the stems.

5)  Glue the transparency with the stems to the inside of the jar lids as shown.  Make sure it is centered.

6)  Add the cover to the Jar, gluing in place.  Add a little adhesive to the folded strip on the bottom of the card to hold the bottom of the transparency insert.

7)  Add the remaining folded strip to the back of the flowers piece and fold out the ends.  

8) Glue to the top of the jar lid, centering.

This card can be used for a number of occasions including Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Birthdays and "just because."  If you make one, be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram, we would love to see your creations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!

Doodlebug Design | Christmas Magic Mason Jar Card

 During the holidays, I like to bake for my neighbors and close friends, but time doesn't always allow me to bake as much as I'd like!  Perfect solution... a jar full of Doodlebug Christmas Magic!  I designed this fun Mason Jar Box Card and filled it with some of the candy and gingerbread Chit Chat pieces!  How "sweet" is that?!  Take a peek..

Here's a side view... 

I completed the card with a little tag from the Christmas Magic 6x6 pad...

Now for the fun part!  I've created an SVG file for the Mason Jar Card Base and it is available exclusively in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop here!  The file only includes the Jar card base, you can fill it with almost anything!  It's pretty easy to assemble, I've outlined the steps below.

1.  Start by cutting the pieces of the file.  You will need a transparency sheet for the front of the card.  They are widely available in Office Supply Stores and on-line.

2.  Glue the darker grey cardstock pieces behind the jar covers.

3.  Glue the jar frame to the transparency jar.

4.  Glue the single cover to the background jar piece.

5.  Fold the score lines on the bottom piece.  Fold the longest strip in half along the score line and glue onto the base towards the center.  This is the piece to which you will glue your jar "fillings."

6.  Attach the front and back Jar pieces to the base as shown.  Make sure the edges are flush so that it will stand properly.

7.  Glue the attached jar lids to the backside of the jar back, making sure the covers are aligned.

8.  On the left is the card ready to be filled.  On the right are the Chit Chat pieces I used to fill my jar.

9.  I started by attaching a few of the gingerbread men together using foam tape between the layers to give them some dimension.

10.  Add some adhesive to the feet of the gingerbread men and glue them to the strip on the base.

11.  Add some Candy pieces to the back of the jar using foam tape for dimension.

12.  To add more items, I cut 2 of the 1" scored strips, and added some candies to them.

13.  Glue the bottom of the strip with the candies and attach to the base of the jar in front of the gingerbread men.

14. Repeat step 12 with another gum drop

15.  Add that strip to the jar base as in step 13.

16.  Once all of your pieces are in the jar, add some adhesive to the back of the front jar lid and attach up and over the front jar piece.  I also tied on one of little tags from the Christmas Magic 6x6 pad with some Doodle Twine.

This card folds flat and will fit in a 5x7 envelope.  We would love to see your creations using this file and the Christmas Magic Collection.  Be sure to tag Doodlebug Design on Facebook and Instagram so we can see what you've made!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
