In place of a stamp, I inked and blending a vintage rubber seal used for canning, then cut it out. (See my gallery to see an ornament I made using a real seal ) The package it came in was falling apart so I stamped the jar on it, laid a clear sticker on top so it looked glassy and then cut it out. I stamped the lid on gold mirror paper. SWAK was the intended punned sentiment stamped to fit in within the lid. The newspaper clipping was from a vintage recipe book which also had the canning divider page. I trimmed it to fit the dotted embossing folder. I glued it all in place and then as an afterthought, added 2 punched out dots to recreate the look of the original holes on the divider page.

This is sooo cute!! I love all things vintage and this is no exception!!! How clever to use the canning ring and part of the box for the jar...the old newspaper clipping is the perfect detail!!!
