My Jar of “eyeballs” started with the large white circles side of the Old Olive sheet of Polka Dot Parade DSP. I stamped the other side (white polka dots) in basic black with the jar stamp from Perfectly Preserved, and cut it close to the outside stamped line (fussy cut).
I flipped it over to the other side and with a sponge dauber and whisper white ink, I pressed it into each large circle, with a little twist.
Next, I had to find a “retina” image for the eyeball, basically a few small concentric circles. There is a small flower in the “Lacey & Lovely” stamp set that has the perfect image:
I inked the center with Rich Razzleberry marker and pressed the stamp with my fingers (Yep, no clear block!) Using this method, I stamped the image on all of the white circles, sometimes in the center, sometimes near the edges.
Now I had to find a black center for the eye! The smallest punched dot I could find was from the Owl Punch! (see those teeeeeny tiny dots at the bottom of the picture?) I squeezed a dot of crystal effects to the center of each retina and, using a straight pin to pick up the black dot, pressed it into the crystal effects. I set this aside to dry for a few minutes.
The final step for this part of the jar is to squeeze a larger dot of crystal effects over each eyeball, spreading to the edge of each circle.
This has to dry for at least 8 hours – preferably overnight. I hope these look like eyeballs as much to you as they do to me!
Next up: A Jar and a Label (Day 5)!
Until then…Keep Calm and Find Yourself a Rubber Stamp!

Stampin’ Up has many benefits for Hostesses, and one great thing they have done this year is to make hostess “dollars” for achieving sales levels at a party very flexible. Exclusive stamps can now be “purchased” with hostess dollars at a discount, and the dollars can be used for any other merchandise for sale in the catalogs. The little floral stamp with the butterflies is one of the exclusive hostess stamps in the Occasions Mini catalog.
