Welcome to day 2 (of 3) of the Impression Obsession 2014 Spring Die Blog Hop! If you're a new visitor to my blog, welcome! I hope you enjoy the projects I share, and add me to your list of inspiring craft blogs! (You'll find a subscription box in the right side navigation bar ... just scroll down a bit, and you'll see it).
I die cut the jar out of soft watercolor paper, and die cut the rest of the pieces from various colors of cardstock and patterned papers. Once all the pieces were die cut, I assembled the tag. I added a bit of cheerful hand-dyed seam binding ribbon to the top.
What could be sweeter than spring in a jar!?
To make this gift tag, I used several new dies, including Mason Jar, Rabbit Set, Small Bird Set, Leaves & Stems, Tiny Flowers. I also used previously released dies Small Grass Border and Clouds.
Blog Hop Details:
The hop will start each day with a list of participants on the Impression Obsession Blog at 6am EST. Each day, visit the Impression Obsession blog. Then, hop along to see participating IO Design Team projects. Leave one comment on each blog you visit. The more blogs you visit (and comment on) each day, the better chance you will have to win a $25 Impression Obsession Gift Certificate!
Every day (Tuesday, March 25th – Thursday, March 27th) one of the participating blogs will be chosen randomly and a winner will be selected from comments on that blog at 10pm CT. The winner will be announced the following day on the Impression Obsession blog, along with the participating blogs for that day.
Two prizes will be awarded on the last day of the hop. One will be for Thursday’s comments and another will be chosen from all the comments left throughout the week. So, if you miss a day or time deadline your comments will still count for a chance to win a $25 Impression Obsession Gift Certificate. Both Thursday winners will be announced on the Impression Obsession blog on Friday.
All of the new dies you'll be seeing on the hop are available now! Visit the Impression Obsession website for details.
Today’s hop list!

I guess it's official, this post is a hit! Getting spring in a bottle may be the only way it will arrive in some parts of this country.....shesh. We still have mud up to our ankles in the driveway with frozen ground stopping the water from sinking in. I'll take a dozen bottles of spring in a bottle! Love, Dad
