I have been working with a really cool new product called Craft Attitude. It is a printable film that conforms to the shape of what is under it. You just print your desired photo, text or images on Craft Attitude using your inkjet printer. Then simply adhere the film with a glue stick or spray adhesive to your base- paper, lampshade, fabric, etc.
As you might know, I love working with matboard. For years I have been trying to figure out how I could print on it. Matboard is way too thick to fit through a printer and could not pass through the rollers since it is so rigid. FINALLY, there is a solution… You can print on Craft Attitude, adhere it to matboard, and it looks just like it has been printed on!
I decided to use my Sizzix ScoreBoard Canning Jars die as a base for some Fourth of July favors using this Jar die, matboard and Craft Attitude.
The Canning Jar dies are now available at your local scrapbook stores or on the Sizzix site. They are a great value because you get two jar sizes on one die- a pint and quart- also two metal lids and an insert piece to make it 3D!
to the tabs on the inner well and place jar front and back on, then add lids.
off white matboard. I also outlined the die with a white pen. However, as
with many craft projects, this went a little wrong… the white was TOO white,
so I added a very light yellow copic marker on top of the white lines. I wound
up actually liking this because it gave that kind of blurred effect that
chalkboard has. So all is well 🙂
Die cut and adhere to box. Tie twine around the top of the jar.
Your jars look amazing Eileen in their 4th July attire! That Craft Attitude looks like pretty nifty stuff…
