Hello everyone and welcome to another Highlights blog and can you believe it's August already........

This is the card I've made for today and I've used the amazing bundle called 'Flowers for every season' and oh my this is literally for every season. There are some beautiful papers in this collection, and I'm only using one of them. So let's get started.......

1pc - 1" x 5 7/16" for the embossed front piece

Scrap piece for the fern die cuts

Bumble bee cardstock

Scrap piece for the fern die cuts

Ribbon combo pack

Approx 6" of each for the bow and to tie round the card layer

Flowers for every season dsp

1pc - 5 7/16" x 5 7/16" for the front of card mounted onto the whisper white layer

1pc - 5 1/4" x 5 3/8" for the inner card

A small strip for the top of the jar

Window sheet

1pc - 2 1/4" x 3" for in between the top card and the front layer card

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish all of your card pieces (both of them will have small spines enabling them to fit inside each other).

2. Cut your dsp pieces and your just jade piece of card, which you will need to emboss.

3. Cut, stamp and cut the ends of your sentiment pieces and then glue together.

4. Stamp all of your flower elements and colour them.

5. Die cut all of your fern elements and leave to one side.

6. Glue your dsp layer onto your whisper white layer and leave to dry.

7. Glue your dsp piece onto the inner left hand side of your inner card.

8. Punch your jar out of your layer piece once it's dry, I went in about 1" from the right hand side and pushed the punch in as far as it will go.

9. Lay your punched piece over the top front of your outer card and draw round the jar shape, so that you know where to punch the jar out on this piece, now punch it.

10. With your outer card laying on top of your inner card (making sure it all lines up at the spine section) you can now draw where the jar apperture is so that you know where to stamp your water and stems. Now stamp your images and add colour if you wish ( I used the misty moonlight blend and the just jade blend lights ), leave this piece to one side until the outer layer is finished.

11. On the dsp layer piece you now need to glue your embossed strip and wrap 2 of the ribbons round ( sticking the ends of ribbon on the back of the card piece with tear n tape).

12. Take your jar element and take the front layer of tape off and place your dsp layer piece over the top placing the jar through the punched apperture. Place some of your gems into your jar. Now you can take your tape off the back of the jar and glue your piece of window sheet over the top to keep all of your gems inside.

13. Now you need to place tear n tape all over the back of this dsp layer piece and lining up the jar appertures glue the layer onto the front of your outer card.

14. Place wet glue on to the reverse side of the back inner panel and carefully glue this inside of the outer card .

This is how it will look from above.

14. Glue all of your flowers and ferns into place, carefully glue your small strips to the top of your jar and glue your sentiment into place. Glue a bow onto the front of your ribbon pieces using glue dots, glue some enamel dots onto the card and your finished.

Hope you enjoyed the project I really did enjoy putting this one together, think I'd put more gems inside my jar than I have but we live and learn everyday.

Thanks so much for popping onto lookat my blog I really appreciate it.

Take care
