Happy Halloween everyone! Our girls are so excited about going trick-or-treating, I love seeing the excitement on their little faces. I have to admit, it makes me a little emotional watching them go up to the doors all by themselves to get the treats. I know, I'm a sap ;) Ok, enough babble, on to what you guys are here for in the first place lol!
ETA- Tomorrow, I will be announcing the Featured Designer! The Featured Designer will get to work with me on designing a stamp set of their choice. To pick a winner, I will use a random number generator to chose from the customers that ordered in the month of Oct.
Introducing-
I wanted to share with you a little gift basket that I put together using this set. Which brings us to Dollar Find Friday! The tutorial that I will be showing you is how to decorate these clear top tins to turn them into a mint holder/ornament.
Supplies-
Paper (DP, Pink Pirouette, Very vanilla)
Tins (3 pk at Dollar Tree)
Crop o dile
Versa mark
Clear embossing powder
Ribbon
Punches (scallop & circles)
Not shown- Stamps and dimensionals
(In this picture I punched the hole in the top of the tin but
found out that it works better to do it in the side of the bottom.)
Step 4-
*Cut ribbon to desired length and tie a knot on the end
(I like to use a lighter to "singe" the ends of the ribbon to
help the knot stay in place.)
*Fish ribbon through hole so that knot is on the inside of tin
Step 5-
Punch out shapes to use for the top of the tin
Step 6-
Stamp peppermint sticks on very vanilla circle
and again on scrap very vanilla.
Step 7-
Layer and adhere the punch shapes onto
each other.
Step 8-
*Cover your peppermint stick image (the one on scrap paper)
with versamark and cover with clear embossing powder.
*Cut out peppermint sticks
Step 9-
Using dimensionals, add the cut out peppermint sticks
Adhere the scalloped layers onto the front of tin and
fill with what ever you like. I chose Peppermint
candies :)
