fun & fast altoid tin

Published by diane (cookiestamper) at 5:57 pm under 3D and altered art, Stampin' Up!

Altering objects is a lot of fun and a great way to recycle. This is an altoid tin that I altered for a little gift. Inside are little punched out pieces from various SU! punches. I wheeled the Fast Flowers wheel with Apricot ink onto Shimmery White cardstock and stamped the words at the top. The words were mounted separately (on the end of the wood block) making them so easy & versatile to use. The hedgehog was watercolored and layered onto a piece of Artichoke cardstock. I punched a piece of Pumpkin cardstock with the photo corners punch and then used the corner rounder on the punched out piece to better fit the edge of the tin. The middle flower was popped up on a dimensional and Wasabi ribbon was applied to the base with red liner tape.
