Hello, friends! After using Queen & Co.’s Love Jar kit last month, I decided it would be fun to use the add on Bug Jar kit. The add on kit could be used by itself, but to really make the most of it, I would highly suggest purchasing the Love Jar kit. The Bug Jar kit includes a stamp set with coordinating dies along with 11 exclusive toppings that are just perfect for shaker cards. The kit does not include a paper pad, so I chose to use Queen & Co.’s Delightful Dots 6×6 Mat Stack.
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 31 cards.
Because it takes many hours to use up a 6×6 paper pad, this video has been sped up 7 times. The real time recording was around 5 hours not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 17 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 7 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
CARDSTOCK COLORS
Hawaiian Blue – DoubleMates
Pink – Recollections
Orange – Coredinations
Red – unknown
Scattered Straw – Coredinations
Caramel Apple – Bazzill
Purple – unknown
Black – Recollections
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. Operation Write Home sketches are the only ones that already provide measurements. For all the other sketches, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. All of my cards are A2 size. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Queen & Co. Delightful Dots 6×6 paper pad.
