How FUN is that!
Now, here’s my project…
Our daughter-in-law’s birthday is also on Christmas day, so I always try to make her “card” a little less “Christmassy”. I found this gift tin in the reduced aisle at Hobby Lobby ($1.49) and decided to alter it for her. (so, Dianna, if you’re reading this…ACT surprised!)
I used Mistletoe Tag Set, colored with Copics. I sewed silk ribbon where the ribbon weaves through and silver seed beads are sewn on with silver thread.
The sentiment is from Poinsettia Tag Set. I used the Tag Die again to cut the extra piece to extend the tag a little so it fit the tin front a little better.
It’s stamped in Distress Forest Moss and sponged with the same. That’s Basic Grey Green At Heart. I also used the Bow Easy for my bow.
Now on to Connie’s blog… be prepared to be amazed!
Thanks for stopping!

Whoever receives this tin should be a happy camper. This is so cute and I'm not a fan of using pink and green together. You did an amazing job.

Beautiful, Dawn! Such a gorgeous gift tin. Wonderful idea and so elegant!

Love the pink and green combination on this one. Your work is beautiful
Very nice and it's always nice to see something different. Very creative.
I bet your DIL really appreciates the effort you go to to make things not so Christmaassy. This is amazing with all those little silver beads and dainty feminine organza.
So Pretty. I would love to receive a gift like this one. I love that you weaved your own ribbon into the design and added seed beads. Thanks for sharing.

Such a fun and not "christmasy" look -how nice for your DIL you have a special gift to make her feel special.
Dawn, love the non-Christmas look of this gift tin. I have the same birthday as your daughter-in-law. The ribbon and silver beads that you sewed on the tag are perfect. Thank you for sharing this amazing artwork. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving season.
Love what you did with this tin.

So precious! What a sweet MIL, you are. . .this is just beautiful and I'm sure will be treasured. You've definitely met the challenge for a December birthday. . .that keeps it separate from, yet still identified with, Christmas. I love how you've combined the pink and spring papers with the seasonal features. Jan E.
This is so pretty, I just love how you did this in pink.
She should be very happy to receive something so beautifil!!
Everytime I see this pink and green color combo, it is a fond memory of the colors my grandmother had in her home. Love the stitching of the ribbon with the added pearls, and the tip of extending the size of the tag itself is fantastic!
What a beautiful altered tin, Dawn!
Gorgeous, gorgeous! I hope she wasn't reading. But I know that if she is, she'll be super anxious to get her hands on it! LOVE IT!!!
Dawn, your DIL is going to love this beauty!!! Is is perfect. Has a Christmas feel, but also can be for everyday!! Just lovely!!!

Love the colors you used on this. Both my daughters have birthdays on Dec. 30. I try to keep everything from looking like Christmas when we celebrate the birthdays, too.
This is a gorgeous card, DAwn! It must be a challenge to make a card that covers both the holiday and birthday.
Another lovely idea from Dawn!
Your projects are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!!! Great project.
Such a pretty card. I love the pink that lends a softness to the card.
I just "love" the way the ribbon is woven through the tag - - it add class and sophistication
This was very unique and beautiful! TFS!

Love the look of this. I know what you mean about non Christmas colors, my eldest was born on the 24th and I have always worked very hard to keep the two events separate.
Oh how lovely.....and I'm sure your DIL will love it.....and I love your idea, on how to extend your tag.....that really is a great idea.....tfs
