So i'm guessing you're all back today to find out "what's in the tin"

It is of course a little mini book

I started by cutting 4 circles of mountboard and covering each piece back and front with the various Jellybean Soup Papers. I dyed some lace with distress stain for the closure, and stuck this 2 the front and back page before the papers. {i made a shallow channel in the mountboard so the lace would not be raised under the paper.}

I then cut out 6 of the elements from the bite size bits sheet, and added 1 to each page.

I used all the clear stamps from the kit to accent each page, along with some of the stickers and some shapes cut from the backing papers.

I used the largest of the stamps to finish the last page.

I punched 3 holes into each page and bound with twine.

So... Thats me done for another rotation, I hope you have enjoyed my little book in a tin project, Don't forget there is still plenty of inspiration to come from my fellow teamies, starting with Claire on Monday.

I'll see you again in Feb

Till next time, Stay Inky

DT Project #1 by Minxy, featuring:

JillyBean Soup: Heart Healthy Red Bean Soup Collection

Hay Snazzy Gang.

I have 2 projects to share this week for you, The first of which was rescued from my local charity shop.

I came across this cool round tin and just knew I wanted to give it a makeover.

To start I cut 2 circles, 1 for the top and one the bottom from the red bell pepper sheet, Luckily the tin was just under the 6x6 size.

Next I diecut a couple of paper roses from the back of the bite size bits sheet, which was normal paper as opposed to the kraft card the rest of the papers were made from and therefore harder to mold into a rose shape. I inked round the edges with vintage photo distress ink, and added a couple of the heart pins from the kit and a couple of little love notes which I stamped using the clear stamp set {also from the kit} onto plain kraft card using the satin red versafine ink.

The bite size bits sheet is made up of 12  3x4 segments, I used one of these segments to stamp and cut out the word love as the focus to my box lid.

I stamped a few of the balloons from the clear stamp set in the red versafine ink onto the red sherry sheet, I found it gave a sort of resist effect which I liked. I cut them out and the used the tail stamp to finish off the balloons. I also cut a couple of the little birds from the scraps of the base paper to 3D a couple of them up.

And voila.. 1 complete made over tin. Simples but effective.

I will be back on thursday with my 2nd offering, A little hint.. it fits inside the tin!

Till then, Stay Inky
