Another Altered Tin


I had such a fun time with the last tin I made that I just HAD to make another... LOL We have a secret sister program at our church, so I thought it would be a great gift for her. I don't think my SS is a stamper, so instead of filling it with stamped images on WCP, I made 4 fall-themed cards.
I used the same stamp set last time for the pumpkin image, and followed the same steps in my last post to emboss the images onto the DVD tin.

To make the belly band, I started with a 2 3/4 x 12" strip of Fall Flowers DS paper, then cut another strip of 2 3/4 x 12" Fall Flowers DS patterned paper and scalloped the outside edges using my corner rounder. Once that was done, I cut a final strip of Fall Flowers DS paper (2 1/2 x 12") and attached my layers together. The next step was to cut a small piece of Really Rust CS to run through the paper crimper before adhering to the Fall Flowers DS strips and attaching the chipboard letter k.

Here are the cards I made for the inside of the DVD tin:
I wanted the cards to be similar since they were a "set", and that also helped speed up production somewhat.

For each of the cards, I started with a standard card base of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2", then cut out a second CS layer (4 x 5 1/4"), as well as an Old Olive DS layer (3 7/8 x 5 1/8"). Once those two layers were cut out, I used my ticket corner punch on each one and then adhered them together.

The next step was to stamp out my images onto WCP and color them in using a variety of inks. I'm definitely NOT great when it comes to watercoloring, but I think my non-level of skill is improving a little each
time. LOL

While I was waiting for the images to dry, I stamped out my sentiments onto 1 x 2 1/4" strips of Very Vanilla or Whisper White CS, then layered them with a coordinating color of CS (1 1/4 x 2 1/2") before mounting them onto a piece of CS (1 1/2 x 2 3/4") that had been run through the crimper. Once those layers were assembled, I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch small holes for my taffeta ribbon to pass through and then attached them to the larger layers.

Once the images were dry, I cut them down to size either by using my mega square punch (picnic basket and pumpkin images) or my paper trimmer (flower and apple images). I then layered them with a giga scallop square punch of CS, and attached mini-pop dots before adhering them to another square (approx. 2 1/2") and finally, the card base.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful upcoming week! :)
