Filed under Altered Tins, Beads, Christmas, Connie Littell

Sugar & Spice Peppermint Tin by Connie Littell
So sweet! Isn’t this a delightful (and colorful) little scene?! Here’s a bit from Connie’s blog post:
I chose to feature a sweet design of a little girl baking cookies from the Sweet Christmas Collage Sheet set inside an Altoid Tin. I always go back to refer to the fantastic tutorial Kristin Batsel did for decorating tins any time I need to make one. I encourage you to go take a peek! Before gluing the image in place, I roughed up the tin’s surface with sandpaper and blackened the interior corners with a Sharpie.
Once the tin was covered, it was embellished with a Double Layer Window Insert painted white. Topping that off is one of the new Snowflake Tin Toppers painted red & white and embellished with a few of the new 8mm Glass Peppermint Cabs.
The finished tin sits on a 3 Cubbies Block (and then the entire pyramid is sitting on a House Ornament Base). The decorations on the inside of the cubbies are from the Cookie Cutters Embellishments Set that I backed with silver glitter scrapbook paper.
Cute snowman assemblages were made by stacking and gluing a selection from new beads onto a round toothpick: 12mm Chunky Snowman Beads, 12mm Red and White Striped Beads and Red & White 16mm Snowflake Bead Mix.
Look at his little sweater! This top hat was made from the Mixed Size Black Flat Disc and a slice of dowel painted black. The other hat features a bead from the new Red & Green Baubles Bead Mix (also used on the tops of the trees). The combinations for making these adorable little fellas are endless!
Great job, Connie! Read more in Connie’s blog post and/or see her supply list (and more new Christmas trims in her artwork are noted below).

New Baubles!
Lots of Christmas-y colored trims and beads are new today. Just a portion are below… see them all here.
How about an Even Larger Snowflake Topper?
The new Narrow Shrine Shadowbox is the same height and depth as the Square Shrine Shadowbox but a narrower width (made to match the proportions of a Blank Altoids Tin… and for the width of the new Large Snowflake Topper).
Beside that cute topper, there’s a photo at left showing curtains from the Paper Theatre Cirque Collage Sheet. Here’s a link to a bunch of collage sheets with curtains tall enough to fit.
