Terrarium Card & Video by Jennifer Jackson

Plant-astic Terrarium!

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a fun card that I created using our newest products together to created a terrarium!

In case you didn't know, I am the owner (with my husband Jeff) of Newton's Nook Designs and I do ALL  design creation for all of our products! When I was designing our new Hot Foil products I wanted to create something fun and shiny and came up with this adorable Jar Hot Foil. We revealed this jar with Fireflies to go inside it but when I was designing it I was also thinking of lots of other uses for the jar! One of the ideas I had was to add in our new Succulent Garden Stamp Set to create a terrarium so that is what I'm sharing with you today! 

If you are a fan of succulents like I am, you know how cute they look in different containers so I thought that filling the jar would be so cute! First I used our Jar Hot Foil Plate to foil the jar with a silver foil. I then used the coordinating die set (which comes with the plate) to cut it out. 

Next, I stamped a bunch of succulents using our Succulent Garden Stamp Set and colored them in shades of teal, green and purple using zig watercolor markers. I cut them all out using the coordinating Succulent Garden Die Set. Then I arranged them inside the foiled jar. Arranging the blooms is half the fun! I also added a bit of teal twine to the mouth of the jar for a fun detail. 

Then I added my jar to a card. The purple floral paper is from our Spring Blooms Paper Pad and I die cut it to give it a scalloped edge using our Frames & Flags Die Set. I used this same die set to cut out the stitched vellum rectangle and the light teal banner. I stamped the sentiment "You're PLANT-astic!" onto the banner and then assembled it all together! I love how this turned out. 

I also made a second version of this card with a video too. For this version I stamped the succulents onto colored paper and added just a touch of color for dimension. So quick and easy! 

You can view this video to see how easy this is to create! Enjoy!

I hope this card has inspired you to be creative and find ways to fill your foiled jars! What would you put inside yours? I'm thinking sweets or flowers next?
