Lisa Andrews (You Are Here)
This time I decided to make a gift set for my BFF. I am calling it "Tea & Jam". I have a lot of things going on this time so please bare with me, this is a long post! All the designer paper used is from American Crafts, Freshly Squeezed collection.
My first project is a 3x3 Notecard Holder and Cards. The tutorial for it is HERE. I changed the dimensions a little. The size of my card stock is 10 1/2 x 5 1/2. Score as directed but also score at 4" and 3" making sure the paper is aligned on the top and right fence. The score lines that I added are for the flap of the lid.
The cards are 3" x 3" and decorated simply.
Here is the "Jam" part of my project. I made some yummy cherry jam. The recipe is very simple, just boil 3 cups of pitted cherries with 4 cups of sugar until the consistency you like for jam! Boil your canning jars according to manufacturers directions and add hot jam. To decorate my jar, I added a circle of cherry paper from American Crafts (Freshly Squeezed) to the top of the jar and created a rosette and belly band around the jar, then added a pretty bow!
Next was the "Tea" Box. The tutorial for the Secret Box can be found HERE.
Lastly, every gift needs a pretty card so that is my final project.
