CHRISTMAS TEA TINS #1: Coppery Snowflakes Copper Tea Tin...

Every year my husband and I host a Christmas Party / Game Night for all our friends and I always make a party favor of some kind for everyone to take home.  I have to make a lot of these, so I try to make them very simple and cost effective.  This year, I just knew I had to use our darling Copper Tea Tins for my Christmas treats!  I made five different styles and will share them over the next few days.

Today I am sharing the one I made using the Snowfall Thinlits Dies from the Snowflake Showcase promotion.  Today is the LAST day to order from these sets, so don't miss out!  I LOVE these snowflakes! 

In the second picture, you can just make out the top and see how the corners are rounded with the Detailed Trio Punch.  Sorry I didn't get a better pic that that.  For this tin, I opted for one of the snowflake patterns in the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to top it and nothing else.  Getting closer to a #SimpleStamping project!  

I used two strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive going all the way around the tin to attach the 3” x 12” DSP.  You can cover four tins with one sheet of DSP, not including the top.  Although you can also use card stock for the tops and then emboss it as I did on some of the coming Christmas Tins.  If you prefer more of a reveal of the copper tin on the bottom, you could cut the paper to a width of 2-¼” and get five tins per sheet.  

The front layers are attached with Stampin' Dimensionals.  And the center of the snowflake is one of our Faceted Gems that I colored copper with the Shimmer Paint and Sponge Daubers.  I hope you enjoy this project!
