Don’t put away those Heart Foil Tins just because Valentine’s Day is over! If you have some tins left over after Valentine’s Day, you can still use them for other occasions, like this Heart Foil Tin For a Birthday Gift.
Here is one I made for part of a friend’s birthday gift. Hearts are for any time so I think you can use the Heart Doilies and designer paper for decorating!
Here is how I decorated this birthday candy tin. I punched out a heart in the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper with the scalloped-edge punch in the Heart Punch Pack. Then I stamped a greeting in the center of the paper heart from the Heartfelt Stamp Set. This heart was then layered on the designer paper heart and adhered to the white side of one of the Heart Doilies. This all fits perfectly in the indented heart shape of the tin lid.
The birthday greeting is stamped from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set and layered on a piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock. For a final touch, I used some retired Share What You Love Artisan Pearls scattered around on the heart and Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the greeting.
So keep those Heart Foil Tins handy in your stash so you can use them whenever you need a little treat for someone or even a small little gift box!
If you need an easy little treat for St. Patrick’s Day, you can’t go wrong with this St. Patrick’s Day Clear Tiny Treat Box. Even if you don’t have the box or don’t want to make one out of paper, you could use a cello bag of some kinds. What is more St. Patrick’s Day than green and gold?
The Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are great to have on hand. You can put candy inside or a small gift or even just a special note. Best yet, they store flat so don’t take up space so all you have to do is crease and assemble when you need one! Just remember to remove the piece of plastic on them that protects the finish!
I think stamping is so much fun because you can use other images to make something else. If you don’t have a shamrock stamp (and most people wouldn’t!), just use hearts! You can stamp and cut out four hearts or in this project, I just stamped the Call Me Clover green hearts together in a shamrock shape. I just eyeballed it and they didn’t come out perfect meeting in the center but can you even tell? No, because I covered the center with a Gold Faceted Gem. These are sparkly and pretty. For a beginner stamper, a few of these kinds of embellishments are good to have on hand. They aren’t very expensive and serve (sometimes!) to cover up any little boo boo, stray ink, or smudge or at least direct the eye away from it! My little heart stamp is from the Meant To Be Cling Stamp Set. I told you hearts weren’t just for Valentine’s Day! The little stem is just hand cut from a scrap.
The shamrock is layered on a piece of Gold Foil, die cut from a scalloped Layering Circle Framelits Die. Lucky for me, I could fit it all on the front of the Tiny Treat Box! The greeting is from the must-have set, Itty Bitty Greetings. This set comes with 32 stamps and greetings to cover most any occasion. They are small which means they usually fit in the Classic Label Punchso they are easy to use. I cut a flagged end on the tag and stuck it under the shamrock with a little bit of glue.
After you put in your treat, green candy is good for St. Pat’s, tie a ribbon around the box to make sure the lid stays closed and mostly just to fancy it up a little bit more. This is the Gold 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon, a great all-purpose ribbon to have on hand. The gold edge makes it just a little bit fancy.
