Summer Inspired Mason Jars

By far, the most popular Poolside embellishment is the ADORABLE Mason Jar Pocket Pack. Not only are the jars the cutest thing ever, but they have extra room for storing tiny items like sequins, die-cuts and more. The tops open up and from there, anything goes!

Because Poolside is ultimately a Summer collection, the CP Gals are bringing you a week's worth of Summer 'Mason Jar Pocket' ideas as a special feature for the month of May. Joining you with the first "Summer-inspired Mason Jars" installment is CP Gal, Jen Chapin.

JEN CHAPIN: Hello and welcome to today's blog post all about the new Crate Paper Poolside mason jar embellishments! These mason jars are so unique, I just don't think I've ever seen anything quite like them! Here is a closer look.

The chipboard jars come 6 to a package along with some other embellishments - tags, twine and gold sequins. The size of the jars is about 3" x 4", they fit perfectly in a 3 x 4 pocket page protector.

Here's a look at what you'll get inside the pack: 6 mason jars with gold stitching and acetate pockets, some plain and some with gold wording. You will also get these cute tags and glitter embellishments, along with twine (not pictured) and some gold sequins.

Here is a fun idea for the sequins - pop open the pocket on the mason jar and sprinkle a few in! They stay put and it looks so fun.

Here is a closer look at my title work. I added 3 jars to this 8.5 x 11 layout along the bottom under my photo. I put some sequins in a few of the jars, and tags in the other. After that, I added a gold glitter foam word from an earlier Maggie Holmes collection.

I used a large photo for this layout, printing it in black and white at 8.5" wide so it would stretch across the top half of my page. I also added a wood veneer and pinwheel embellishments from the Poolside collection.

And here's another view of the finished project! These jars are so fun. I hope you can get your hands on them for your Summer projects! They would be fabulous on all types of projects....not just scrapbook pages. It would even be fun to use them as a tag on a mason jar gift of some sort. The possibilities are endless!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you have a great day!
