This is a recycled tea tin that I covered with various sheets of my SEI Juliette patterned paper. I made a tag using my Nestie's and stamped with WMS Very Vintages Labels 10 and PTI's Everyday Button Bits. Added a bit of satin ribbon to the tag and more saddle stitch ribbon to the top. I then filled it with Macadamia Roca (like Almond Roca) chocolates. Yum!
Here's another tea tin using different papers and colored ribbon. Again filled with chocolates. Supplies - Stamps: PTI Everyday Button Bits, WMS Very Vintage Labels No. 10; Ink: PTI True Black & Dark Chocolate, Memento: London Fog & Pear Tart; Paper: CS: PTI Stamper's Select; PP - SEI Juliette; Other Stuff: PTI True Black Satin & Saddle Stitch Ribbon, Spring Rain Grosgrain Ribbon, Ripe Avocado Satin Ribbon; PTI Vintage Buttons in Hibiscus Burst, Ripe Avocado, True Black, Eyelets
I also gave them a set of notecards with stamped envelopes (you can click on the image to enlarge). Does this design look familiar? I got the idea from Nichole Heady (you can see it here, just scroll down to almost the end.)
Here's a close up of one of the cards. All supplies PTI unless otherwise noted. Stamps: YOTF: Violets, Giga Guidelines; Ink: Versarmark; Paper: Dark Chocolate, Summer Sunrise, Berry Sorbet, Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides; Other Stuff: White Embossing Powder, White Gel Pen
I packaged the cards in this cute box that holds the A2 cards perfectly. You can find the tutorial here on SCS. All supplies PTI. Stamps: YOTF: Violets; Ink: Dark Chocolate; Paper: Dark Chocolate, Summer Sunrise; Other Stuff: Fiskars Upper Crest Punch
Now I need to think of a gift for my son's teacher. He's a guy so I need to do something a little different for him.
Thanks for coming by for a visit!
OH LA LA ........ love it all And love what you are going to fill them with ........ I think about you every time I eat my macadamias ...... which is often since I gave up carbs :) Always great Nadine!!! As far as the male teacher ........ Curt and I fight over chocolate in this house ....... Curt suggested JIm Beam ....
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to make all those wonderful gifts for the teachers. I especially like the altered tea tins.
ReplyDeleteNadine, these are GORGEOUS!!! I'm sure the teachers will go crazy for them :) I've got to get started on my kids teachers gifts soon!
ReplyDeleteNadine!! I love the tin idea and you have them decorated beautifully! You're right....a male teacher is HARD!!
ReplyDeleteOh so cute Nadine. Love the WMS labels for 10.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift. Love the tins and tags and I really love your card set with box. Thanks for the SCS link for making it. I always need box templates for home made cards and I don't have that one. I love the edge on it... nice extra touch that most don't have. For the male teacher, if you don't come up with something, ask Ted! I am sure you will come up with something great. You do such great work.
