Vintage Birthday Card
Happy Wednesday! We are half way there! I thought I would share this birthday card that I made for a friend who loves vintage things. I was inspired by this pin on Pinterest. I used Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante papers for the layers and for the ticket and clocks. The bling and flowers are from my stash and may be Recollections - I don't recollect (ha, ha!). The bling came in one big piece and fit perfectly on the card. I did a little distressing and inking on the edges, too. It looks like it was harder to make than it really was!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Altered Altoid Tin and Prize Pack
Good Wednesday morning! As you can see, there have been more changes to the SS blog! Our cute little background was causing some performance issues with the blog, so we changed it again. Hopefully, this new one will behave for everyone!
As promised, here is the picture of the prize for the "New" challenge that I posted yesterday!
The random drawing winner will get both the Heidi Swapp Summer frame kit and the Cosmo Cricket blackboard mini album kit. The mini album has 6 pages ready for you to decorate. The frame kit includes:
5 chipboard frames
1 rub on sheet
3 ribbons
6 mini brads
2 label holders
6 index tabs and inserts
6 decorative tapes
2 ghost words
How cute are these?? We also set up an inlinkz link for the entries, so no need to email them. Have fun!
On to today's project ... My godson is turning 18 this weekend. He is attending a culinary school here in Boston and I am so proud of him! We got him a gift card for an online chef supply store for his present so that he can buy some tool of the trade that he may need. (Visions of Spongebob and his Crabby Patty spatula here!!) I have quite a little collection of altoid tins that I have had my husband save for me, so I decided to alter one to hold the gift card. After googling and finding a couple of sites with ideas and tutorials, I measured and cut out my pieces from Graphic 45 Steampunk paper and attached them using my ATG gun and my Xyron. Once attached, I Mod Podged them to seal everything. I added the do-dads on top, trying to keep it masculine. (I so wanted to add a ribbon or something sparkly!!) It really was much easier than I thought it would be! I will be making more of these guys for the holidays. Keep the tins coming, honey!
