These cards all measure 5ins x 5 ins and are made using linen effect card.
As a person with a terrible sweet tooth, I saw this gift wrap in John Lewis and just had to have it … it’s designed by Emma Davis and cost £1.75,(SHW89).
I have cut out individual jars and then laminated them (top tip, if laminating small cut outs keep them in place with a tiny bit of Pritt before putting them through the machine)
I’ve stuck them down with a foam pad to give them extra dimension on a black gingham background, thinking that then they would then be suitable for either sex, because although a lot of men say they don’t eat sweets, you watch them pinch a few from your packet when you have them!!!
As a final touch I’ve used Ranger Glossy accents on the jar labels again for extra dimension.

ReplyDeleteThese are fab! What great paper and love that all the sweetie jars have labels too. I can see JL selling out of this paper pretty quickly! xx
ReplyDeleteOOh I've just seen a new shop in my town that's opening tomorrow called 'Sweet memory lane' - it's laid out like a traditional sweet shop with all the tubs just like your wrapping paper! I was oggling through the windows...
