This tin was done back in January or February in a class. My excellent and most awesome demonstrator showed us how to do the tin and now I have several others to make. This one was for my dear sister-in-law, who does not craft, but loves things done by others! I filled it with 33 cards and envelopes. Some were done in a birthday card class and the rest, I did myself with inspiration from Splitcoast. I'll start posting some of the cards as time permits this week.
I used Stampin' Up's Recollections paper - which I LOVE!! It's by far my favo
rite paper!!! I then used Certainly Celery ribbon on the outside of the box. And the ribbons on the handle and on the lid inside are from the In Color - Cranberry Crisp. I had a chipboard "M" I had bought sometime ago because my sister-in-law and all my nieces' names begin with an M. So I used Cranberry Crisp Ink and "dyed" the M. Attached to some Certainly Celery paper and cut out by hand the background of the M.

Filled it up and she seemed please. One of my favorite gifts to give is cards with envelopes - I never keep any of my own stuff!!!
