I sat down the other night and pulled out Melanie's What's in Your Tin 1 & 2 stamp sets. I got a couple of Altoid Tins from GinaK's store (which are the size that Melanie's sets were made for) and altered them both using some patterned paper and her stamps.
This first one uses the What's In Your Tin 1 set and patterned paper from Basic Grey's Cupcake Collection.
I used the sprinkle paper for the top, stamped the frame with red ink, then stamped the sentiment with blue ink.
I used Stampin' Up! ribbon to line the bottom of the tin (strong double-sided adhesive works great to adhere ribbon and paper to tins like this).
I lined the inside of the tin with some other papers from the Basic Grey set, then filled it with a few suckers.
I think these would make great little gifts or party favors don't you??
For my second tin I wanted a more elegant feminine feel to it.
I used the What's In Your Tin 2 set along with GinaK's Comfort & Peace set.
I stamped the floral image first (I inked it up with markers), then stamped the frame with ColorBox pigment ink and heat embossed it with clear glittery embossing powder.
I sponged the edges of the cardstock with yellow ink before adhering it to the tin lid.
The ribbon wrapped around the base is May Arts.
I lined the inside of the tin with some green Basic Grey paper, then filled it with some fancy chocolates I bought at Costco some time ago (and that I shockingly have some left of!).
