Hello and welcome! I realised I hadn't posted this CHA sample project made with one of Eileen Hull's Sizzix 3-D Food Jar & Spoon die. It is a mini tutorial.
This little jar die is so cute and the spoon is also part of the same die. Since it is a steel-rule die, you can cut it from thick materials, I used mat board. This would be a great gift for a new baby, and you can also place something inside the jar. Change the colours to fit with the recipient.
Die cut the pieces from mat board. Ink the spoon and the top of the jar with Ranger's Emboss It Dabber and emboss with Aged Silver Embossing Enamel, which gives a great vintage silver look. Emboss the spoon on both sides. Ink with Stormy Sky Distress Ink, making the jar darker at the corners and the bottom, which makes it look more dimensional.
Stamp the jars and the centre piece with Hero Arts Tiny Stars stamp, using Archival Cornflower ink. I love this stamp.
Carefully sand the edges of the jars to reveal the white mat board. White emboss a sentiment on each side of the jar. If you want the sentiment to stand out more, you can stamp it on a label, or stamp it before stamping the stars and mask.
Apply strong adhesive to the flaps on the box piece and assemble the die. Since the Scoreboards dies both cuts and scores the surface, assembly is easy.
Dye a piece of crinkle ribbon with Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Ink and tie the spoon to the jar. Add a few Mirrored Stars.
The back of the jar, with a slightly crooked sentiment.
The jar works great together with the shoe that I made with Eileen's 3-D Shoe die. You can find a tutorial for the shoe here.
Thank you for looking!
Happy Crafting!
Anna-Karin
