Paper Cuts

Hi everyone.  I have my last gift tin to share today.  Actually, I shouldn’t say that since the season has not yet passed.  I may have to whip up one more. 

O holy night

This is another tin I like to have on had.  A couple places to find these “almost” square CD tins are Eclectic Paperie or All That Scraps.  The stars and reindeer are 3-d stickers.   For a bit more dimension and sparkle, I added a dot of Diamond Stickles in the center of each snowflake on the patterned paper.

After stamping the sentiment, I felt it didn’t stand out as much as I wanted it to so I quickly dumped some clear embossing powder over and heated.  That’s one thing I really like about the Adirondack inks–they dry quickly but not as quickly as some of the others so you have time to grab that powder…assuming you know where it is. 

Inside is another small tin of gum and two gift cards.  (The gum slid down when I tilted the tin for the photo.  Maybe I should have added a bit of tape underneath.)

Thanks for stopping by!  I’m off to enjoy my last few hours of silence before that holiday vacation begins.    Have a great day!
