New 3 Little Kittens Tin Covers and Puss in Boots Tin Covers Collage Sheets! These images are sized for covers on the outside of a Blank Altoids Tin (with a bit of margin around the edges for showing background paper). They also fit the pages in the Altoids Tin Accordion Book.
I’ve left space at the bottom of each image in case you use a new Puss in Boots Altoids Insert or Three Little Kittens Altoids Insert overtop.
AND a third new insert: Le Chat Noir, a perfect frame for a vintage French cafe scene. There’s even some bonus French cafe collage sheets in the sale (more info farther below).

New cat-themed retro buttons are farther below (plus a FREE gift kit, and bonus cat collage sheets that are on sale)!
Kitty Cat Buttons?!
Such a cute group! Some were used in a sewing-themed kit about a decade ago (!), others are new. (Check farther below, too, as they’re shown in artworks AND they’re in the Free Gift Kit!)
Artwork with buttons! Oh, these are just adorable! Both projects include one of the Big Eye Anime Cat Buttons.


First is the Cute As A Button Tin by Shannon Cooper.
Beside the tin and the button (artfully framed), the little girl is an image from the Thread Trading Card Cuties Collage Sheet (and the project includes a tiny spool that the cat button is sitting on… more info on those is farther below).
The wide photo below is a close-up of Kitty Photo Holders by Kristin Batsel. So cute!
Kristin painted 2″ wooden blocks, plus 1-1/4″ wooden wheels, each a different color. “I sanded all the edges, inked them a bit, and then covered each side with a different paper, cut a little smaller than the side of the block. One side of the blocks got kittens and a couple of tiny buttons, while the reverse side got some adorable children. After I adhered the images, I lightly sanded each one to distress the surface.”
Collage sheets used (for both blocks and as vintage photos on the stands).
FREE Gift with All Orders

Tiny Spools with Labels
Not exactly kittens-themed, but buttons are related to tiny spools, right? I found more stock of the Tiny Wooden Spools used a recent sewing-themed gift kit AND added the mini collage sheet with matching labels, too! The labels are on the same page with the tiny spools. Note: the labels fit either the tiny wooden spools or Chunky Little Wooden Spools.
I’ve added the other 2 sizes of wooden spools to the sale (see photos at left). The medium size is the chunky link in last paragraph. The largest are the Small Wooden Spools.
