Vintage Style Keepsake Photo Tin

Hello, friends! I'm back with another creationmade for Crafter's Castle! Taylormadecards4u is our permanent sponsor, and I have another process video on my project to share again, as well! This month I was completely inspired by our permanent sponsor's kit for us--An English Garden! Guess what?! Most of what I use today is part of the prize for joining us month!

An English Garden Passport Kit

TOTALLY gorgeous, right?! I love the vintage feel. It reminded me of my grandparent's, so I chose to make something to honor them. Here's one of the finished creations...

Paper Sweeties November Release Rewind!

Hi, friends!  It's time for another monthly release for the Paper Sweeties Boutique, and we have some SUPER FABULOUS holiday products to share with you this month!  My offering today is as altered tin filled with fun gift tags.  Take a peek...

I used the *NEW* Stitched Tags #3 Sweet Cuts die set for the tag bases, the Fun Shapess Sweet Cuts dies for the stars, Joy Sweet Cuts dies for the Joy sentiment, and the Snow Friends Sweet Cuts dies for the hearts.  I added Strawberry, Marshmallow, and Grape sequins for texture, sparkle, and shine. :)

Some Licorice Baker's Twine is how I'll attach my tags to gifts.  I added either washi tape or glitter paper to each tag to help the die cut shape stand out a bit more from the patterned paper present die.  And they all fit perfectly in the cute tin I gussied up with the same products to hold them in!

   

 

That's all for me today, friends!  I'll be back next month with more inspiration using *NEW* products from Paper Sweeties!  Make sure to take a peek at the inspiration from the rest of the team, too...

Great Impressions: Dino Birthday Tin

Hello again, friends!  I'm back with another card using stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  This week, the DT is sharing kid themed birthday projects with a twist.  I went with a card and gift in one tin!  Come and take a peek...

The image on the front of the tin is H177 Party Dinos.  I watercolored them and then added some sequins for shine.  This was added to the tin after I added some patterned paper and ribbon.

The top inside of the tin was gussied up with more patterned paper and a sentiment--E759 Time To Celebrate.  And what's inside?  Some fun dinosaur dot-to-dots and markers to finish them with!

So much fun in a small package!  And I think this would be pretty easy to mail, don't you?  I would love to know what you think about this project in a comment below!

That's all for me today!  I'll be back next Monday with another creation using stamps from the Great Impressions store.  I hope you join in our current challenge, and, if you use Great Impressions stamps, link them up in our Customer Gallery, too!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

Great Impressions: Valentine Tin

Hi, all!  Happy Monday!  I hope your weekend was good and that you're ready for a new week to start! :)  I've got another creation today that uses a beautiful sentiment stamp from the Great Impressions store.  Come and take a look...

We're featuring Valentine treat holder ideas this week and this one was actually pretty quick and easy to make!  I started by adding some patterned paper to the little tin.  I then added a strip of punched black cardstock and some red rhinestones.  I stamped and heat embossed E330 Valentine on some polka dotted patterned paper and added that to the tin.  Some sequin trim and a red heart rhinestone were added for more shine and whimsy.

I then added a bow to the handle of the tin.  This fun pink sparkly polka dotted ribbon seemed the perfect choice.  The ends were trimmed like banners to add more of a finished look to the bow.

The completed project is the perfect little holder for some treats.  You could throw some Kisses into it or even some chocolate squares.  If candy isn't for your Valentine, a bracelet or some small cards could also be tucked inside instead!  What do you think of the final project?

I'm entering this little tin into these fabulous challenge: Sweet Stamps: Hearts, Craft-Dee Bowz: Anything w/ a Handmade Bow, and Sprinkle N Sparkle: Use Flocking/Embossing Powder/Loose Glitter.

That's all for me today!  I'll be back next Monday with another creation using stamps from the Great Impressions store.  I hope you hop over to the Great Impressions blog for more inspiration and to join in our monthly challenge.  Until next week, HUGS and happy stamping! :)

Inspired By Stamping: Altered Tin

Well, hi again!  I'm excited to have another creation to share with you today using stamps from Inspired By Stamping!  This time, I have used lots of different flowers from the store to create a gift set!  Take a peek!

I started by covering the tin and its lid with some patterned paper.  I liked the colors and the texture of the wood grain and so I chose some kraft paper to create a seed packet front using stamps from the Garden Seed Packets set and then some matching flowers to add to the tin.  A pennant stating that the gift is to say thank you and some ruffled ribbon trim finished off the tin.  The sentiment and pennant were made using stamps from the Garden Seed Packets set as well.

Next, a small thank you card was created to go along with the tin.  A daisy flower was used as the only embellishment and the wording is from the Sweet Pea set.

More Altered Valentine's Tins :)

So, yes. I had to make even MORE decorations! :) So, here are the pictures. These were quite simple. I just cute paper from a coordinating pack into different size strips, alternated the patterns and put them on. I covered the seams with ribbon. The beautiful GLITTER hearts were stamped with the Essential Glue Pad and then I put fine magenta glitter over the image. What do you think? Hopefully you get inspired to make something for yourself! Happy craftin'!
