more tin ornaments



Here are a few more tin ornaments. I have so many ideas in my head for these. And lucky me, they are easy to make.
1st one is Quickkutz martini glass with "Cheers" Sentiment from Stamping Bella. Background paper from an old xmas stash i got at a 2nd hand sale. And the fake snow. Gotta get me more fake snow.


The 2nd one I LOVE! I'm going to experiment with different colour schemes. more traditonal Christmas colours. Set is from SU, Elegant notes. The holly leaf is QuicKutz dies. Background words are stamped in black stazon. Love the crispness it gives and the Treble clef is silver embossing powder.
Oh yes, the background paper to my 2 photos is from Basic Grey's "Figgy Pudding" Line. Very versatile.

Thanks for looking. Have a great weekend.

tin ornaments




I made a few of these the other night and have plans for many more styles. I had 2 more designs already done, but gave them away before I got a pic of them.

53 mm tin from Lee Valley. Can you tell I bought a lot of them. tee hee

Stamped the snowman from SU Perfect presentation. Added a bit of White paint pen. Adhered ribbon on the bottom part of the tin. Used the cropadile to punch a hole in the bottom part. NOTE:: You can't go in too far from the lip or you won't be able to squeeze the eyelet in.
And then added the fake snow from the dollar store. Gotta get me more of that. I like the shimmery-ness of it.

For the Chanukah one, I embossed a chip board candle from one of Basic Grey's Christmas sets. Stamped the sentiment, from Stamping Bella, on the front of the tin. Punched out 2 different sized circles to mat the candle. and used the 2 inch marvy punch (i'm still so tickled that I actually found one in the states, and for half the price of here and then a Michael's 50 %off that! It was practically free!

Happy Halloween for tomorrow. (Yes, it is still only Halloween. I've been in Christmas mode for soo long now.)

Thanks for looking.
