Today is a celebration near and dear to my heart. I love to travel and have been fortunate to see some of the natural wonders of the world which makes me want to preserve these sites for future generations. I know I can do my part by recycling and making wise package purchases, so today I want to share an easy recycling project with you.
Here's what I started with:
Of course I shared all the mints inside with my friends and co-workers so that I could use the tin for a project using Stampin' Up! products! The products I used are no longer available after April 30th so click here to place an order for those you can't do without.
And here's what I created using the Altoid™ tin:
Supplies:
Stamp set: none
Ink: none
Card stock: Sending Love designer series paper #117153 (retiring April 30th!),Real Red, Pretty in Pink
Accessories: Paper Snips, Stampin' Dimensionals, 1" circle punch, Snail adhesive, Extra Large Fancy Flower punch #118073 (not available after April 30th!)
I cut the Sending Love designer series paper the approximate size of the top of the Altoid™ tin and then rounded the corners using my paper snips. Then I punched the flower and center circle, adhere them together and, added it to the decorative strip layers using a Stampin' Dimensional. If desired you can add a strip of ¼" Grosgrain ribbon around the tin to cover the expiry date stamped on the back. Then add a sweet treat or other small gift inside. And that's it!
So join with me in preserving our planet and try some recycled art today!
