Jar Shaped Card Tutorial | How to Make a DSP Layered Jar Card with Dies (Video)

Jar shaped card tutorial featuring Designer Series Paper layered on a die-cut jar card base from the Filled with Sweetness bundle.

If you’ve ever wanted to make a shaped card that feels special but still practical to produce in multiples, this jar shaped card tutorial is for you.

Inside this month’s Cultivated Creativity membership, we’re focusing on efficient die use and stretching your Designer Series Paper (DSP) — and this jar card is our bonus project to reinforce both.

Jar shaped card tutorial featuring Designer Series Paper layered on a die-cut jar card base from the Filled with Sweetness bundle.

Using the Filled with Sweetness dies from the Homemade Sweetness suite, I created a full jar shaped card base from solid cardstock. Then I layered a second jar front cut from Designer Series Paper (DSP) to add pattern and interest without complicating the design.

The lid is die cut from a coordinating DSP print and wrapped with twine for texture. A simple white die-cut label holds the stamped sentiment and heart detail, finished with Frosted Dots for dimension and Wink of Stella sparkle.

On the inside, I kept it clean:
• A punched circle
• Coordinating sentiment
• A subtle strip of DSP
• A touch of shimmer on the hearts

Why This Design Works

This jar shaped card tutorial isn’t just about making something cute.

It’s about:
• Planning your DSP cuts strategically
• Using multiple label dies to speed up production
• Designing a card that can be batch created efficiently

I made 192 of these cards — and the key was working smarter, not harder.

Inside Cultivated Creativity, we build that kind of skill month by month. Not just pretty projects — but intentional growth.

A Confidence Tip

If Designer Series Paper ever makes you hesitate, try this:

Commit to one layout and change only the paper.

When you remove the pressure of “designing from scratch,” you give yourself permission to create freely — and that’s where confidence grows.

Whether you’re making one card or a whole stack, this project proves that simple layouts + beautiful paper = cards you’ll love every time.

If you’ve been holding onto your patterned paper waiting for the “perfect” project — this is it.
