- Grab a large jar or tin. I used an empty SLIMFAST tin as it came with a lid and was large enough and perfect for the contents I had in mind.
- Decorate the jar with pretty papers, ribbons, buttons, add a few embellishments like flowers or jemstones, or stamp plain paper and colour in yourself.
- Decorate the lid to match or discard the lid if you prefer.
- Make some pretty cards or papers and write different things on them, for example; make a card with the last stamp you bought...make a card using your favourite Penny Black stamp...make a card using a stamp you haven't used for ages...make a card using watercolours...make a card using embossing powders etc. The list is endless.
When you're next stuck for an idea...pull out one of your decorated cards, read what you've written and make a card following that.
Et Voila!

Inspiration jars are GRRRREAT (and very useful. Everyone should have one! Will be interested to see your NEW version if you make one.
H fave sis, I'm definitely going to make a new one (eventually), mine is starting to look a bit grubby now as I use it so often when I'm lacking inspiration. I'm so glad we made ours together though. How did you get on with the brayered flower? I never saw the finished result?
