Friday With Friends with Katie Z and Spellbinders

Today on our Friday with Friends Segment,
Crew Member Katie Z shows how Canvas Corp Papers are a PERFECT match with Spellbinder Dies.

Katie Z’s Words

Good Day Everyone! Katie Z. here today sharing a rather interesting way in decorating a paper jar using various Spellbinders Dies. If you are their Club Kit members (http://shrsl.com/tago) then you will find this tutorial a useful one. It will show how to match up with various Canvas Corp papers to create a wonderful gift – may it for a friend, wedding or any special occasion.

My inspiration is a french carnival idea. I used this concept on a paper jar. I have an extensive tutorial in how to do this on my Snapguide (https://goo.gl/NUZJXt) which you are free to explore. To follow the carnival idea, I chose red and ivory as my base colours. Using Canvas Corp Red & Ivory Ribbon Stripe, White Mini Dot Rev and Black and Ivory French Script papers was the perfect choice for this project. A single sheet of 12″ x 12″ from each pattern paper is more than sufficient to make this paper jar as well as the various embellishments. The advantage of these papers is that the reverse side is plain ivory (with no patterns and designs) which you can use them as matching cardstock without having to obtain one. And that’s how I use both sides of the papers interchangeably for my various diecut embellishments.

With my left over pieces, I made a domed treat box as well to go along with the jar to complete it as a set. And now it’s all ready to be gifted away…

Step 1

Make a paper jar using the various pattern papers of your choice. I’m using 3 different pattern papers (as stated below the supplies list) to do this paper jar. An extensive tutorial in how to do this can be found at my Snapguide: https://goo.gl/NUZJXt.

Step 2

To go along with this paper jar, I diecut a domed treat gift box using the die from Spellbinders

Step 3

To give the lid some height, I diecut the following accent from Spellbinders Fretwork Accent Die. I placed it on top of the lid like a dome.

Step 4

To embellish the jar, I diecut the following accents, swirls and leaves from Spellbinders Domed Treat Box. Additionally, I used the Holiday Frame set with gold foil papers and the ivory side of the Canvas Corp pattern paper.

Step 5

To make some tiny flowers, I diecut several flowers using the script pattern paper from Spellbinders Spellbinders Domed Treat Box. I curled the petals and pierced a hole in the middle for each of them.

Step 6

I assembled the flowers as per Spellbinders instructions stated in the manual by using some stamens to bind all the petals together. I created a bunch of them!

Step 7

Once all the prepping work for embellishment are done, I started to place the flowers, leaves and swirls on top of the lid. As you can see here, I also add a piece of fabric flower over the dome of the lid as well.

Step 8

I used the accent die cut together with some flowers and leaves to decorate the front of the jar. I placed a “SWEETS” label as well which is available free to download here: https://goo.gl/HFp6W9

Step 9

Here is how I decorated the domed treat box.

Step 10

With the remaining paper, I also diecut a tag from the Spellbinders Spellbinders Domed Treat Box and embellished it.
