Welcome to our first "Take 2 Tuesday". Here is how it works. Each month we will feature a "take 2" (additional ideas) of one of our tutorials. You will get to see a new idea every Tuesday that month. We know sometimes it is hard to come up with more ideas once you have seen a project done one way. For those of you who have already purchased the tutorials, you'll get several fun, new ideas. For those of you who haven't, maybe this will give you enough ideas to justify one more tutorial. We believe you can never have too many....we buy our share!
This month we will feature one of our most popular tutorials - the Altoid Tin!! Who doesn't have a small stash of these saved for the perfect project and who wouldn't want to receive one of these completed. Some of the examples we share will be available in our Etsy shop the day they post.
We LOVE the new "Newsprint" DSP from Stampin' Up! The Altoid tin was covered with this DSP and lots of unique embellishments including a wooden domino, paper flowers, covered chipboard and buttons.
The top of the tin is embellished with an "R" from the Serifs Essential Alphabet die set cut from Very Vanilla card stock, sponged and embellished with a star button with linen thread.
The rim of the lid is covered with black grosgrain ribbon and for this one, we left the bottom of the tin uncovered keeping with th vintage look. It looks great in person!
The inside of the tin holds the accordion-fold album that will accommodate several photos.
We've covered the pages with additional pieces of DSP and sponged the edges.
The last page is secured inside the tin with sticky strip. We covered a chipboard "M" with DSP and added an "R" game piece tile.
We hope you have enjoyed our first "Take 2 Tuesday" and have been inspired to create one of these tantalizing tins!!

Great embellishing.
