New Tin Inserts, Altered Tins, FREE Fairy Door & 25% off SALE!
Filed under Altered Tins, Bella Ayers, Fairy Garden, Shannon Cooper
Those TWO new Altoids Tin Inserts (and some back-in-stock leafy trims — in a new mossy green color) inspired me to revisit TWO altered tins.
Both tins use lots of foliage (and either Humpty Dumpty or some fairy ballerinas), which led to a second sale collection: Fairy Garden Foliage! Those Winter Branches at right are just one example of the items on sale. (More info and more highlights are farther below.)
Fairyland Tin by Kimberly Ayers!
Kim’s tin was designed to highlight a long ago Secret Garden Kit.
How can you have a secret garden without fairies roaming around in it? (A miniature secret garden, of course!)
There are 3 Altoids Inserts that were announced with the kit: One of them is included in the kit (the Ivy Corner Insert), but I also used the Gazebo and Gothic Tree & Fence Inserts with this project.
I also used lots of the Mini Green Leaves laser-cut leaf set (with ferns, ivy, and some swirly flourishes, which I added glittery Stickles to).
Note: that Gothic Tree & Fence Insert is on the front cover of the tin, so you’ll need to visit the original post to see that cover and more photos. Here’s the supply list (part of the Fairy Garden Tins Sale, too).
Humpty Dumpty’s Afternoon by Shannon Cooper
Is that not the cutest little Humpty Dumpty shrine you’ve ever seen!? I love this little piece! It’s perfect as a little hidden garden, with the hope of staying cool in the summer while reading.
Here’s a teaser from Shannon’s blog post:
The May Secret Garden Kit couldn’t have come at a better time. Starting a garden this spring was simply out of the question, so having the opportunity to make a teeny tiny one was a nice substitute. Another plus: no pollen.
I knew I wanted to use the Ivy Corner Insert and Mini Green Leaves from the kit, and after gathering a handful of other greenery (including the back-in-stock Laser-Cut Miniature Ivy), it reminded me of vines that grow over walls and up the sides of houses. So, I built a tiny brick wall for the inside of the blank tin which happened to be the perfect spot for Humpty Dumpty.
Aside: Shannon also provides a tutorial on her post!
Although Shannon made the tissue paper roses herself (!), I’ve added some pre-made paper flowers (and more greenery) to the sale collection.
Shannon gives tips on building Humpty’s wall (and lots more photos) on her blog post. Plus here’s Shannon’s supply list (part of today’s sale, too).
More NEW or Back-in-Stock Supplies
Ooh! The two new tin inserts would be fun to mix-n-match with the 3 inserts in the 2 projects above.
The new mossy green color for the 2 back-in-stock leaf sets makes them perfect for all seasons (and you can also use colored pencils to add veins or shadow/highlight (like Shannon did above).
