For a change of pace away from holiday cards, here’s a tin card holder I made as a birthday gift for one of my downline. The tin is by Provocraft and I purchased it from Scrapbooks.com. I love getting stuff from that site!
I used the Apple Cider DS paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog (which is only available until this Friday), to decorate the tin. I used Modge Podge to adhere it and then applied a thin layer on top of the paper. Then I added the ribbon around the PP and started my decorating. I stamped the letter’s of “Nickey” in Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wasabi. For “cards,” I embossed the letters with Winter White EP and then punched each letter out with the 3/4″ circle punch.
For the top part of the tin, I stamped the image with brown acrylic paint. I had never tried this technique before, but it worked quite well. When you use acrylic paint, you apply it with a foam brush. The final step was to embellish the handle with ribbon.
I made a matching 3 x 3 love note gift tag to go with the tin too.
These are the supplies I used:
Stamp sets: True Friend, Fun & Fast Notes, Letterpress, Typset Alphabet Lower
CS: Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi
Accessories: Apple Cider DS Paper, Chocolate Chip 5/8″ grosgrain ribbon, 3/4″, 1 3/8″, & 1″ circle punches, Scallop Punch, paper piercer, white gel pen
