Sweet Jar Bundle: 3 Adorable Cards for Every Occasion

 If you love versatile stamp sets that can carry you through multiple seasons and occasions, the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Jar Bundle is going to steal your crafty heart! This week in my Sunday live, we created three sweet and simple cards that are beginner-friendly but still “wow” enough for experienced stampers.

A Jar Full of Love 

Our first card features a thick Basic White card base with a strip of Floral Impressions DSP along the side. We stamped the sentiment “Sending a little love your way” in Memento Black and Flirty Flamingo for a fun two-tone look. Inside the jar? A bouquet of stamped hearts, topped with a brushed gold metallic lid and a bit of Flirty Flamingo baker’s twine. Perfect for Valentine’s, anniversaries, or just to make someone smile any day of the year.




Birthday Wishes in a Jar



The second design is a cheerful birthday card with the jar filled to the brim with colorful candles. Using Stampin’ Write markers in Petunia Pop, Lemon Lime Twist, Bubble Bath, and Darling Duckling, we created a rainbow of birthday cheer. A simple Garden Green “Happy Birthday” sentiment ties it all together, while Lemon Lolly adhesive dots add that final pop.






A Jar of Sweetness

Our last card is peachy perfection! A Peach Pie card base layered with embossed cardstock from the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder creates a warm background. The jar is filled with chocolate chip cookies—created by stamping cookie shapes in Crumb Cake, then adding “chips” with Early Espresso ink. The sentiment “Sending a little sweetness your way” is stamped in Early Espresso and Timid Tiger for contrast. A few peachy adhesive-backed dots finish it off beautifully.


Why You’ll Love This Set

The Sweet Jar Bundle works year-round—hearts for Valentine’s or anytime love notes, candles for birthdays, cookies for “just because,” and even more possibilities when paired with the coordinating Jar of Joy holiday set. Think ornaments, gingerbread cookies, snowmen, and more festive fun!

Whether you’re a beginner looking for quick wins or an avid stamper ready to layer on the details, this bundle will quickly become a go-to in your collection.

Quick, Cute & Grateful: 3 Easy Cards with the Label Me Grateful Bundle

 If there’s one thing I love about Sunday nights, it’s crafting with you! This week, we kept things simple but impactful with three cards featuring the Label Me Grateful bundle. It’s a sentiment-only set, but don’t be fooled—it packs a creative punch when paired with its coordinating dies and the bold Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper.

Let’s take a peek at what we created:

💚 Card 1: "You Are So Appreciated" (Double Fold Fun Fold)



We started with a Granny Apple Green card base and Garden Green accents, layered with a single panel of DSP and a subtle peek of a Garden Green banner. A pink daisy die-cut and In Color flat pearls added just the right pop. The inside sentiment? "So grateful for that heart of yours." 🥹

This double fold fun fold is such a great way to showcase your favorite Designer Series Paper, and it still fits in a standard envelope. Win-win!





🧡 Card 2: "A Little Kindness Makes a Big Difference"

Next up, we played with Timid Tiger (yes, I called it Tempting Tiger at first—I need a nap!) and created a super simple layout. The DSP was cut into three equal panels and layered puzzle-style onto the card front. Add a sentiment label and a die-cut bubble bath flower with Darling Duckling center, and you’ve got a warm, cheerful card ready to go.






💙 Card 3: "Thank You" (Double Fold, Cloud Cover Edition)



Our final project was another double fold fun fold, this time using the neutral and dreamy Cloud Cover cardstock. With two coordinating sides of DSP and a pop of Berry Burst ink for the sentiment, this card has subtle elegance written all over it. A Garden Green leafy die-cut and Secret Sea flat pearls added the finishing touches. 















💡 Tip of the Week



Don’t be afraid to revisit your old card designs! I shared how one of these cards was inspired by a layout I made months ago. By swapping colors, papers, and embellishments, I gave it a whole new life—proof that sometimes, your past work is the perfect blueprint for fresh inspiration!

🛍️ Don’t forget:

  • You can still subscribe to the August Paper Pumpkin kit (Farmhouse Florals) until August 10th.

  • The kit includes 9 whimsical cards, Secret Sea ink spot, linen thread, and a FREE bonus stamp set!

  • It coordinates with the Circle of Seasons dies (subscriber exclusive).

🎉 And for my friends in Florida, Massachusetts, and Texas—tax holidays on crafting supplies (like adhesives and markers!) are still in effect until August 11th. Time to stock up!

Until next week, happy crafting!
