Hello crafty stamping people! Teresa Abajo here with a shaker card idea and two more cards using the new Mini Mason Jar Eclectic stamp!
This stamp appealed to me immediately - a smaller version of an old favourite, the Mason Jar Frame Stamp, and which crafter doesn't love mason jars? I thought it would be fun to create a shaker card:
Instructions:
1. Stamp the Mini Mason Jar onto a 9 x 13.3 cm piece of white card using black ink. Carefully cut out the parts of the jar that would be glass.
2. Stamp a few little stars in Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink, then spatter some Broken China here and there. Stamp some script under the jar using the Broken China ink.
3. Adhere a piece of clear acetate to the back of the cut out, then outline the space using foam mounting tape. Apply the foam tape as close as possible to the hole without going over it. The foam tape will be what keeps the sequins in place, so make sure to close off any gaps when you make your little corral.
4. Add a mixture of sequins to the corral BEFORE removing the backing paper from the foam tape. This prevents any sequins from sticking to the tape.
5. Again using Broken China Distress Oxide ink, stamp the Dots Texture stamp onto 9.5 x 13.8 cm piece of white card, then spritz with water. Allow the ink to spread over the piece, adding more ink to the edges as necessary. When completely dry, remove the backing paper from the foam tape and adhere this piece over the cut out jar, lining the edges up carefully.
6. Mount this onto a 10 x 14.3 cm piece of white card, then onto a white card.
7. Stamp Happy Birthday onto a piece of card with some Broken China Distress Oxide wash on it using Magenta ink, then adhere to the card over the jar.
8. Create a banner using twine and washi tape and adhere to card under the jar.

This next sample is a seaside themed tag that can be used as a gift tag or be placed on the front of a card:
Instructions:
1. Stamp the Mini Mason Jar using black ink and cut out.
2. Stamp seaweed and the shell inside the jar using Distress Inks.
3. Stamp the Woodgrain Texture stamp toward the bottom and the quote toward the top of a piece of kraft cardstock, leaving room to adhere the mason jar image underneath.
4. Stamp a tag from the Tags stamp set using Watering Can Archival ink, then stamp a portion of the French Script Background stamp on it before tying it to the top of the jar with some twine.
5. Mount this onto some black cardstock, then onto a white piece. Punch a couple of circles of cardstock and adhere them to the top of the tag for reinforcement. Punch a hole in these and tie some twine through it.

This next idea came to me when I looked at one of my craft shelves - a bunch of jars holding all sorts of goodies:
Instructions:
1. Stamp the Mini Mason Jar onto a 13.8 x 9.5 cm piece of white cardstock three times using Watering Can Archival ink. Stamp it another couple of times onto a spare scrap of cardstock. These are the spares that will be cut out later.
2. Create a mask using a Post-It®Note, and use a few different stamps to put things into each jar.
3. Colour the images in with the new Scribble Sticks, then cut the two spares out and mount them onto the card front. I tied a little twine around the top of one of the jars.
4. Stamp the sentiment onto the top right hand corner before mounting this piece onto some black cardstock then onto a white card.
