Whimsy Jar Spoiler

I signed up for a Whimsy Jar swap that I'm really excited about! It's just for fun, but you state the color theme you'd like and then someone gets your name and you are assigned someone as well.
My person obviously requested red, white and blue. One of the rules is that it needs to contain scrapbook items.
I've had this wide mouth Ball jar for quite some time and it was perfect for the swap!

I used Stamin' Up Land That I Love set. I heat embossed the flag and the stars.

I used a vintage button in the back. There is so much in that jar. Some of the items include gems, prima flowers, scrapbook mints, ribbon, tape runner, buttons, cat's eye chalk, bling, alphabet mini stamps and more! I hope she likes it. I will post pics of mine when I get it so that you all can see what I get! =)

Here are the contents along with another picture of a few things I made for her.

Thankful thoughts...

Here are some thank-you cards I made after my big surprise birthday party. Just some cardstock from my DCWV stack, thankful thoughts stamp is SU, thank you stamp is heidi grace, Creative Memories Harvest stickers, and ribbon.

Coffe Card Swap...

I participated in a swap on a stamping message board that I frequent.
It was my first time swapping here, but I might do it again sometime.
This is what I came up with!

I made a card with Stampin' Up! set called Sip by Sip and used their Top Note die....'course I borrowed the Top Note die, but it is on my wish list. I used it with my Cuttlebug!
I also filled a clear pillow envelope (bought on ebay) with coffee, espresso, and latte candies. The tag was made using a set from Hero Arts that is coffee themed.

Close up...

Pop dots under the Top Note die.

Packaged and ready to go in the mail.

The bigger pillow box set is for the hostess.

It was fun!

Have you done any fun swaps lately?
