on a roll....


Wow im on a roll today! Stampin Up playful petals stamp (again! ... said it was my fav!) coloured flower last night (went on a stampathon last night with these stamps!)
Mounted onto white card embossed with cuttlebug embossing folder and tag and wording from the same as is the lilac pearlescent paper along the bottom.
Used fiskars border punch for the ribbony thing across the middle and some co-ordinating ribbon across that, finished off with a knot on the tag.

The insert (had forgot to put this in! oops!)

close up of the topper on the front.

Covered Tin tutorial

Take a tin with a resealable lid (yep im addicted to cappuccino! its fab!)

Choose a paper to cover you tin.... i used scrapbook paper (big pad, cant remmeber the name of it again! oops!)
Measure the height of your tin....

Cut paper to size (12 x 12 paper is a good fit, although A4 landscape also fits!)
i used double sided tape to stick the paper to the tin...

i chose to use 2 co-ordinating papers, so attached the second one to the tin, but then you get an 'ugly' line!

I used border punch to cut a strip to run around the middle...

Using double sided tape (again!) i attached it around the middle of the tin...
still got some ugly lines tho!!!

Using some co-ordinating Pink border peel offs (or some ribbon... whatever you want to use, i attached around the top and bottom where the paper meets the top (you sometimes get a gap!) and the a strip around the middle to hide where the scalloped bit meets the paper...
I then attached images i stamped with Stampin Up stamp 'Playful Petals' (my fav at the minute!)

Et... Voila! the finished tin! hubby still thinks im really sad and need to get out more! lol
