The minute I saw the images that Beth of Gathering Dust was giving us for this project from Artist Class, I knew I had to make this!!! It's an altered Altoids tin! I've had it in the studio forever and this was the perfect project to finally use it...
Don't you love the images! And Lori, do you see the beautiful fabric that came in the mail yesterday?? Thank you so much for sharing your source....
I'll be making Lori's covered box from Artist Class next! If you'd like to sign up there's still time (until Nov. 21st) and get 10.00 off by using the code thefeatherednest ~
I have to tell you that I'm so happy!!! FINALLY we have a Hobby Lobby!
It just opened this week and of course I had to get over there and bask in the glow ~
I'll share the goodies I found later.
If you don't have a Hobby Lobby store nearby
they do have a website that sells a lot of their supplies ~
it's Crafts, Etc. if you'd like to take a look!
Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday sweet friends ~
hugs and love,
Dawn

Great idea! That would be beautiful to put a gift card in for the holidays.

Ooooooh! Your tin is stunning! I love those images, and the colors you used are just dreamy.
Ooooh, I'll bet they're gonna LOVE you at Hobby Lobby! Our local craft store (no-name) is ridiculously overpriced and woefully understocked. Lucky duck!!
Beautiful tins, I really need to get crackin' on these artist class projects!
XO,
Anne
Oh my, gotta make that:) Gorgeous and the pictures inside, sweet! I agree with Michelle, gift card would fit just perfectly! Have a blessed day!
i love Beth's tin...i had put a tin aside a while ago...and now i can't find it...total bummer...i will have to wait to make my own...your snowman tutorial is wonderful Dawn!!! lucky you, that you now have a hobby lobby...i want one too!!!
Beautiful, Dawn! And if you love tins, there is a company called Upton Tea Imports that sells samplers of different flavored teas in different sized tins. My daughter gave me a sampler for Mother's Day of 4 flavors in the cutest little round tins. I bought a 2nd batch of them so now I have EIGHT empty tins to decorate! I just purchased my favorite flavor "Baker Street Blend" in a larger, square size that I'll decorate when it's empty. Can't wait!
And the teas are delicious! The Baker St. blend has a slightly smoky flavor that makes me feel as if I'm sitting in a little thatched cottage out on the Scottish Moors! ;-) Very evocative flavor and scent!
The moral of the story....don't throw anything away! LOL!
Hugs!!! Diane
Can I tell you how many of these tins I just throw out? I'll have to look at them differently now ~ that is just beautiful, Dawn!
The tin & tags are gorgeous!
Dawn,
I love your version of the tin! Isn't the fabric delicious? I love mine. We are on the same wave length, I'll be working on Lori's box next too. I need to hop over and see what else has been posted.
I love Hobby Lobby and their sales and markdowns are the best. Can't wait to see your goodies.
Have a sweet day.
A beautiful box, Dawn. Those cards are just lovely too!
Oh Dawn the tin is beautiful and the cards fit it to a T. Happy Day!
Sigh......just another "project" I'll have to put on my list of things I want to do before I die, sugar!!! Well, that list gets longer but I'm accomplishing most of them as you'll see in the coming weeks. Squeeeeeeeal.... Now, gotta buy some Altoids.... ;-)

You are soooooo going to LOVE LOVE LOVE Hobby Lobby! Not only are they are fabulous store but their work ethics as a company are above reproach. It is Oklahoma City based (next to Edmond, OK, where I live). The founder and his son are amazing businessmen!
LOVE THAT TIN!
