I purchased the Jar of Joy Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Sweet Jar Builder Punch way back in July of 2025 when it first debuted as one of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusive offerings. During the month, I created many holiday cards using this stamp set and coordinating punch bundle. In the back of my mind, I thought it would be fun to create a shaker card filled with peppermints. Today, I made that a reality.
