Three pictures of a gift ensemble I made for our volunteer leaders (18 of them). I saw these tins at WalMart one day and said to my hubby *Gasp! I could totally make an ensemble with these with Merry and Bright!*
I tried to mimic the tin colors and design in the card, (from the snowflakes on the lid of the tin to the snowflake embossed and rounded top of the card), also included is a bookmark and sleeve (with their initials on it and handwritten name), and inside the tin....almost a pound of my husband's Homemade Famous Fudge . Dashing and Cerise papers, Old Olive Prints paper piecing on the trees.
