Thank You Tins

As soon as I saw the Year of Thanks limited edition anniversary set from Kitchen Sink Stamps, I knew the images would be the perfect embellishment for an alterable item I’d just added to my collection.

During a recent stop at the Dollar Tree, I found a package containing a trio of metal treat tins that were a little plain, but definitely had potential. I found that the round lids were the perfect size for the images from the Year of Thanks set.

I stamped some of the images from the set in pigment inks, then heat embossed them with Iridescent Ice embossing powder for some extra sparkle. I punched out or trimmed around the embossed images, then attached them to coordinating layered circles to add color to the tins.

I added a coordinating strip of patterned paper around the base of some of the tins. I’ve found that Sticky Strip holds the paper the best. I tied a strip of narrow grosgrain ribbon around the tins to finish the decoration. Mine are filled with M&M’s—yum!
