Be Kind Blooms

This is my card for the Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge. This is my first Cupcake Challenge so I'm a little nervous, I hope you like it!

I got my inspiration from Mary Jo Albright's blog. She did an amazing card using the Botanical Blooms stamp set. The layout was different but she cut out the flowers which I thought looked beautiful. Cutting out small things isn't the funnest thing in the world but I do love the look.

Here is the inside of the card:

Sweet Cheer!

I decorated this jar that I got from Ikea and filled it with Christmas looking mints. I think it's a gift that I'm going to have to keep myself!

























This is the side view. I used a brad to hold the ribbon in place on either side of the label.
