We're so excited because my sister-in-law invited us to her home for Thanksgiving again this year.. we love and appreciate her hospitality! I think this will make a sweet hostess gift to take to her!! I used the Stampin' UP! Painted Harvest stamp set to stamp the sunflower image, leaves and thankful greeting, and the Gourd Goodness stamp set to stamp the pumpkins.

This jar is actually a candle holder jar from Michaels (see THIS post), but I took the candle holder part out, and filled the jar with candy, and then covered the hole in the lid with the stamped sunflower on the punched out circle!
To take out the candle holder portion, I just wiggled the piece back and forth and it eventually broke the weld. Easy.
I tied it up with the 3/8" Crushed Curry Mini Chevron ribbon.
The pumpkins are stamped with Peekaboo peach and Pumpkin Pie ink. I love the photo-realistic images in this Gourd Goodness set. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to add them to a die cut Stitched Shape Whisper White oval piece. I stamped the greeting from Painted Harvest in Cajun Craze ink.
The leaves are stamped and punched using the stamps in the Painted Harvest bundle – SAVE 10% when you buy the bundle including the stamp set and leaf punch! See the bottom of this post for all shopping info!

Good morning Patty, I wanted to check in before I got ready for work…. I love your decorated jar. Your sister-in -law will love it. What a very thoughtful gift. I need to stop at Michael’s today and see if they have any. This would be a great gift idea for my cousin. She took my mom to the senior center every day for yrs.before my mom passed.Thank you for the idea. Fill with chocolate and she will love it. Christmas decoration on top with pretty bows… So cute. Have a great day.
What a great idea, and love that you were able to convert the candle holder into a “real jar”. Your SIL is going to love the gift, it’s gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing – I’m hoping to stop by Michaels on my way home from work today so I’ll have to see if I can find some of those jars in my local store. Happy Halloween!
