Mason jars and jars in general are such a big trend right now. They’re inexpensive and can be used for so many things. Once only used for homemade jams and granola’s or such. They’re now filled with ingredients to make cookies or breads, to hold small gifts, filled with miniatures to resemble snow globes and the list goes on and on. The Jar of Cheer on this card was stamped with a candle, making this mason jar a candle holder!
This card may sound complicated to cut and layer together, but if you make all the cuts and think about how they have to be adhered together you’ll have no problem. It’s quite a beautiful card and you should save the cutting dimensions to use in the future with other holiday or birthday cards.
