First Card Tin


I made my aunt a card set for Christmas. April 4 was her birthday and my mom told me that she was wanting some more. I decided that as a VERY belated birthday present I would make her a card tin and fill it with cards for her to send out. This was the first time I had tried a card tin and I like all but the lid (which you can't see in the pic). I thought the paint I bought was close to the color of the paper but it turns out that it's quite a bit darker than I expected. I got the ribbon at Hobby Lobby (when I bought the paper) and the lady at H.L. was extremely helpful. I know what I saw but she gave me a new set of eyes and helped me choose the ribbon I did.

Recipe:
Paper: s-e-i- Grandpa's Attic "paisley hanky", The Paper Studio blue solid, Whisper White, Basic Black
Stamps: Headline Alpha (SU)
Accessories: Anita's All Purpose Craft Paint- Lagoon; ribbonFX (H.L.); monoadhesive; ProvoCraft Lunch tin

Tami,
This is soooo pretty. I love the paper you used. I haven't made one of these yet but I so want to. I know when I make one my mom will want one as well, then there are my two sisters and my three closest friends. So looks like I will be making a lot of them.
