The Bird Ballad Tin becomes a Box of Chocolates

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing all of the details of my 2nd Annual Stamp Crop & Cruise Retreat.  I created 8 projects for everyone to make and today I’m sharing the final project.  Previously I shared the Stamp-a-stack we made using the Bird Ballad Laser-Cut cards from the Annual Catalog, and today’s project uses the tin that those laser-cut cards came in.

I used the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper to add some banners to the lid, then stamped the flower from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.  Next, I lightly colored in the flower and leaves with Light Petal Pink and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend Markers before die cutting the flower with the Magnolia Memory Dies.  The Stitched Nested Dies cut from Gold Foil and Whisper White became the foundation for the focal image.  The lid was finished off with a triple bow made from the Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon.

For the inside of the tin, I created a framed insert that held 20 Hershey Chocolate Nuggets that I wrapped with strips of the Magnolia Lane DSP.  This was one of my favorite projects and was a hit with my guests.
