Have a Ball mason jar mini album

Hey everybody! Happy Tuesday – I hope you’re having a great week so far! I’m delighted to to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. I do believe I used a record number of KIS products making this mason jar mini album, and it sure was fun! Of course, I used the entire Mason Jar suite of products along with papers from four paper packs, five kinds of stitched dies, die cuts from two collections and five colors of ribbon. And we can’t forget the six varieties of Sprinkles I used for the shaker bits! I’ve only used tulle for a few shakers and I love the fact that it photographs without all the glare that acetate shakers have. And I think I’ve asked this before – is there such a thing as too much shaker mix?!

Using several dies in the KIS Cuts Mason Jar set, I cut the front and back covers along with the inside pages from CutCardStock Twine cardstock, and the lid from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil cardstock. I created the shaker on the front using ivory tulle behind the aperture with 2mm Matte White beads, 2mm Matte Pale Pink beads, 2mm Matte Green beads, 3mm Pearls, Polymer Clay Forest Green Sprinkles and Polymer Clay White Daisies & Pink Hearts for the shaker mix.

I used the Mason Jar Labels stamps along with the Mason Jar Sentiments (stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and Catherine Pooler It’s A Girl ink) for the label on the front and cut it with a coordinating Mason Jar Labels die. I also added a small heart cut from a green scrap using a die in the set of Mason Jar Labels dies. The assortment of papers used for the front and inside pages came from the Bunny Season, Lucky Day, Little Cowgirl Birthday, and Lumberjack 6×9 Collection Packs. I added a couple pull-outs and some flat die cuts created with the Back To Basics Stitched Squares, Ovals, Rectangles and Circles Nested Dies as well as one of the hearts from the KIS Slimline Cuts Stitched Hearts.

I added some flowers from the Little Cowgirl Birthday Die Cut Pieces as well as bees and greenery from the Lumberjack Die Cut Pieces to embellish the stitched die cuts. I punched holes in the cover and pages with the We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile II Big Bite and made hole reinforcements with the Big Bite and the Stampin’ Up 1/2″ Circle Punch from the Twine cardstock. I bound the mini album with silver binding rings and tied small pieces of Back To Basics Lemon, Lilac, Royal, Jade and Rose ribbon to the rings.
