Last night I made more sweet candy jars using my Posies for You set. (You can see my first candy jar here.)
I think these jars are fun filled with colorful candies, and are a sweet *grin* way to say thank you.
I used red sticky tape to adhere the ribbon around the jar lid. I used another small piece of red sticky tape to adhere the button. The thread on the buttons isn't really thread at all, but a narrow strip of cardstock. This is one of my favorite tricks!
I used Spellbinder circle and scalloped circle dies to cut the shapes for the lids. The varying sizes of dies makes it a snap to put these together. It took longer to choose the colors I wanted to use!
Have you made a card or project using Posies for You? Share! Post a comment on this thread with a link to your project, and let us see your pretty posies!
I love all your examples too. My set arrived a couple days ago and they're already trimmed and ready to use. I know I'm gonna love 'em. :) I was thrilled to see that I had received an autographed set (31/100)!!! Thank you so much for sharing your talents, your time and your creations.

What cute little jars. Look like baby food jars to me. And that tiny bit of cardstock instead of thread! How cool is that! I "thread" my buttons with a bit of dental floss, but I'll try your way next! TYFS!
Hope the fires are no where near you!

Anna, if you were to ask us again which is our favorite set, I'd choose this one -- you've done an incredible job of showing it's versatility and I like that it's not really "just" posies -- not that I don't love posies! I'm going to check the first jar to see if you tell us where to get them. :0 Mary

I am a new fan and absoutley love your designs.
Where do you get your inspirations from?
I find the hardest thing is designing new cards.
Congrats on your talent!
