I have had the Copper Tea Tins for a while... I think I got them shorty after the 2018-2019 come out and I am just finally getting around to using them! But boy, now that I have... I will be getting more to decorate! They look amazing all decorated with different suites.
I just love the bright colors in this DSP although I do use a different pink that is in the DSP... I use Flirty Flamingo if there isn't a lot of the pink showing but the right color to use is Blushing Bride.
I was supposed to come to my Office (Craft Room) and get what I needed for my Income Tax but as you can see... I got distracted! That happens pretty easy in here 😂 I had just seen so many on Pinterest lately and I got inspired!
If you are wanting to decorate any, I suggest that you cut your DSP to 3" wide and leave under the lid with no paper. The first one I did I left a 1/4" gap and the lid just sits on top. If you cut your paper that is going around it to 3" it gives you a very small border which looks perfect.
When decorating the lid, I cut the DSP to 2 1/8" x 3 5/8" and used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the corners. That also gives you a very small border... almost none but enough to see.
I just cut a few more die cuts to decorate the top, arranged them and tacked them with Glue Dots and then used Dinensionals to give them a little lift!
Using the 6" x 6" DSP I thought might be interesting but I picked the perfect pattern! You can't see AT ALL where it joins or where it ends off! I cut the DSP in half and just used a piece of Tear and Tape right along the edge where I wanted to join them. Using the guide on the Grid Paper to keep it straight is a good idea.
If you cut the DSP to 11 1/2" that should give you a 1/4" overlap when you wrap it around. I used the Tear and Tape and went along all the edges and a strip in the center then start at the seem on the tin and tuck the DSP up to it close and just worked the paper tight all the way around.
