My Hubby's Birthday is next week so I decided to make a tag and tin for one of his presents.  I will put some of his favorite candy and a gift card inside.

I stamped the clip board image 3 times.  Once on white paper and twice on kraft paper.  I cut out just the paper part of the white.  I used one of the images on the Kraft paper as the base and layered the white on top of it.  I cut the clip from the remaining image on the Kraft and popped it up.

Flowery Gift Canister

Hello my blogging friends!  Today's project is a canister I made for a very sweet friend! Thank you Lori for a wonderful day!!
These canisters are just perfect for a small gift, some sweet treats or a gift card!
It is a little difficult to get the paper to  stay on so I found if I wrap a ribbon around the middle with a bow on the back (in addition to the glue)  the paper stays on perfectly!
The Sentiment is attached to a Tim Holtz Fragment Charm.  I used some Glossy Accents to attach the stamped sentiment to the back of the charm and then trimmed around the shape of it.

 Materials:
Canister and Yellow Ribbon from Michaels
Sentiment - My Favorite Sayings - My Creative Time
Patterned Paper - Cotton Bloom Stack - DCWV
Fiskars Border Punch
Tim Holtz Fragments Charm
Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink
Prima Flowers
Spellbinders Scallop Oval Nestabilities
Leaf Pins - Maya Road
Lemon Drop Twine - The Twinery
Glossy Accents
Brad from my stash

Thank you for stopping by.  And Thanks again Lori for a great Memorial Day!  I appreciate all my followers and comments!
