stamping on glass

As I mentioned last night, today I worked on candy jars. I found these adorable little square glass jars that were just begging to be stamped and I could not pass them by. And just as I thought, they look really cute. I bet they will look even better tomorrow when they're filled with candy!

I stamped the first one with the tree from the Perfect Presentation level II hostess set using green stayz-on ink. Stampin' Up! used to carry more stayz-on colors but now offers only black, white and brown, so unfortunately I cannot be your supplier for this ink, but it is still available from other sources.

I stamped the second jar with images and sentiment from the City of David set in black stayz-on ink. I then colored in the images with my Bic permanent markers. I know that most people use Sharpies, but I cannot tell you enough good things about my Bic markers. I purchased a multi-colored assortment at Sam's Club for a lot less than the equivalent Sharpies assortment and I find that they work just as well plus I love the colors. I use them every time I need a permanent marker, for coloring on acetate or glass.

I will show you more jars tomorrow, after I fill them with goodies, and I'll also show you my votive candle holders and some stamped candles.
