Cherry Jam Jar Greeting Cards

By Larissa Fyodorovna

 

“Hello everyone!

Today I present to you greeting cards in an unusual form – cherry jam jars. The beautiful and delicious collection called Life’s a Bowl of Cherries has served as inspiration for me. I created the jam jar as a base myself, and only half of it is needed. It’s very easy to flip the half to the side and join it to create a jar. Flipping it upwards again creates a base for the greeting card.

Please watch the video to see how I did it. Maybe you’ll be inspired to create your own greeting cards too.

I hope you like it.

-Tips- 

  • For the bottom half of the jam jar, I recommend selecting design papers with a red pattern. For the top piece, which is the lid, I suggest choosing designs with a different color and pattern to create a beautiful contrast.
  • For creating the central composition and focal point, I recommend fussy cutting some elements from the collection to use as embellishments
  • To give the composition a special touch, you can incorporate various elements made from different materials, such as fabric, thread, beads, chipboard, and more.
  • To give the paper elements a more organic and natural feel, you can use a bone folder or wooden stylus to create a wavy shape. To enhance the three-dimensional effect, you can layer pieces of cardboard between the layers
