Supplies used:
Family-Glitter Getaway cardstock double sided
Getaway Glitter Leaves on linen cardstock
Coffee Glitter Swirl on Creme cardstock
Brown Glitter Cardstock
Red Glitter on Red Cardstock
Cherry Chocolate Dew Drops
Fall Ribbon
ON THE COVER:
I first removed the lid from the bottom, then cut pieces of Coffee Glitter Swirl on Creme cardstock to size (2-1/4" x 3-3/8") to cover the top and bottom of the tin, rounded the corners, and colored with red and brown distress inks. I cut a 1/2" wide long strip of Coffee Glitter Swirl on Creme cardstock, colored with brown distress ink, and adhered around the bottom of the tin.
I punched small trees from scraps of Family-Glitter Getaway cardstock double sided and painted with a gold glimmer glaze. I punched the holly leaves from scraps of green card stock and also painted with a gold glimmer glaze, then dry embossed veins into the leaves to help sculpt them. The tiny reindeer was punched with Brown Glitter Cardstock. I used Cherry Chocolate Dew Drops for the holly berries.
INSIDE THE TIN:
I covered the inside using the Red Glitter on Red Cardstock. NOTE: You can spread a thin line of matching color acrylic paint around the circumference of the tin top and bottom before adhering your cardstock. This will disguise any paper layer not cut to exact measurements. See photo below.

I glued the branches to the inside of the lid, then attached the ornaments with foam dots for dimension, draping the Fall Ribbon through the ornaments. I also used a gold pen to color the topper on each ornament.

I like your way of presenting, this kind of gifts are very precious and valuable, so thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove this tin! Those little ornament embellishments on the inside are such a great touch!! Did you use acrylic paint around the outside edge on the tin lid as well as on the inside? I had problems when I adhered cardstock on the top lid and folded and glued it to the inside of the lid. The tin wouldn't close all the way! So painting around the edges would probably prevent that from happening.
ReplyDeleteThank you both. You're right, Karen. These tins are very tight and nothing can really be added where the lid and bottom meet. So, I did not paint or add paper to those areas. The tin was already a gold tone, so I left it and used it to my advantage. The top sides of the lid were already red, and all I did was add some glaze to glitz it up a bit. But that was not going to interfere with the closing. If possible, let the color of the tin work with your paper choices so you do not have to paint it. I hope I answered your question. :)
