Simply Saturday… a simple tin

Published by Julia Stainton at 6:06 am under Card Designs, Cornish Heritage Farms

Yay! It’s Saturday! I have no idea what we’re doing here today but I’m hoping for a little down-time and to get a few errands done. I realized the other day that I had forgotten to share this simple little tin I made just before Christmas. I made it to go with the Secret Santa present one of my children had to bring in and filled it with candy. It’s so simple you can whip one of these up in no time. I like that.

Sweet Tin

While most of this design is simply wrapped with patterned paper and trim, I did manage to stamp a little to embellish my chipboard flower. That’s my Distressed Grid Scrapblock™ again. Hope you’re not tired of seeing it!

Quick Tip: Sticky Strip adhesive works great for adhering fancy trim around tins.

Have a simply wonderful day!
