Merry Monday #82 - Christmas Candy

Mint's Anyone!
Hi Stampers,
This week we are to use Red, Aqua, White and Circles for our Merry Monday Challenge card.  Hmmm... red, aqua, white and circles, I was a bit challenged by Lesley's combination this week but fortunately the old brain worked it's magic. I embossed the white mat with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder and stamped the jar on white card and then on acetate.  The stamp for the mint's is from "S/U's Sweets for the Sweet Stamp Set" and were cut smaller than their actual size with the 3/4" Circle Punch.  I added the doily for some extra interest, the twine, satin ribbon and a little tag. On the inside I stamped Merry Christmas from Sassy Salutations and scored twice above the greeting to finish off.   

Supplies:
Stamps: S/U's Perfectly Preserved, Sweets for the Sweet, Tiny Tags, Teeny Tiny Sentiments, Sassy Salutations
Card and Papers: Pool Party, Whisper White, Clear Acetate
Ink: Stazon Black, Pool Party, Real Red
Finishing Touches: Pool Party Twine, Real Red Satin Ribbon, Paper Doily, Pearls
Cool Tools: Big Shot, Sizzix Polka Dot E/Folder, 3/4" Circle Punch, Tag Punch, Sizzix Cannery Set Framelits, Stamp-a-ma-jig, S/U's Cutter and Scoring Tool, Bow Easy, Dble Sided Tape, Sponge, Modern Label Punch, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots
Love to hear from you, thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
