Happy Tuesday, peeps! Yesterday I resurrected an Altoids box that had been floating around my craft room after seeing this sweet card by my friend Lisa. I remembered that I had some of those Mintay papers, and like so many of the 6x6 pads I get, there are scrapbooking elements on some of the pages, which I never use. I thought it would be fun to incorporate them into a little vignette within my Altoids box. The designs are both whimsical and elegant, and you'll see what I mean. Here's the front:
All the papers and elements are from the Merry Little Christmas line by Mintay. I used the Iconic Imagery die to cut out the snowflake paper for the front of the tin, then fussy cut the deer and that fierce-looking cardinal from the scrapbooking elements of the pad. I did add a couple of diecut snowflakes as well. Sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs, Mini Tag Sentiments. Here's the back:
This time, I stamped a sentiment from Jolly Christmas by CC Designs and used the Nested Essential dies to cut it out. And here's the inside; these papers are from the same pad but definitely have a more elegant feel:
I simply trimmed the papers to fit the inside, popping up the one on the right. The left design is all one paper, the only addition is the sentiment (Tiny Words Christmas, from Simon Says Stamp), stamped on a scrap of the paper in Soft Succulent. The right design has the flowers fussy-cut and popped up; same set for the sentiment. Here are some closeups:
I did add a few glimmer paper leaves using the Timeless Arrangements dies and some retired glimmer paper, as well as a big silver wire bow. A piece of retired Blushing Bride ribbon went around the outside, adhered with some Tear n' Tape:
This was loads of fun to make! I am going to enter this is the Inspire.Create challenge this week, which is "Anything But a Card" as well as the Peace on Earth challenge:
Thank you so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
