This month we're so excited to be showing off our Basic Necessities!!! Pillow Boxes, Metal Tins, Empty Inkpads...Basic Necessities are a variety of packaging materials and containers that you can customize to any theme or occasion.
Our Design Team can't wait to share all the amazing things you can do with these new products so let's get down to crafting!
Jean Okimoto uses our Basic Necessities Tin #68199 to create tag gift sets! Wouldn't these make great hostess gifts? Join Jean for a class to create these -- details below.
Fill a Basic Necessities Tin with a colorful assortment of tags - for the holidays or any occasion! It's a perfect gift, stocking stuffer or gift stash item for last-minute exchanges. Decorate two tins and twelve great tags in Jean's TAGS IN A TIN class at Seattle's University Village Impress on November 3rd, or at the Tukwila store on November 12th.
Suzanne Austin shares and fun way to use the Basic Necessities Clear Box #10053:
Sabrina Alery shares how to use the Jars W/ Caps #10001 and #10002 to make your own custom blends of embossing powder and glitter.
Finally, Megan Aaron and Diana Gonzalez altered out Tin in two very different ways:
Above, Megan Aaron stamped on kraft paper, added it to the tin lid with an embossed sentiment featured our Blue Embossing Poweder #10055. On the Tin below, Diana created a fabulous mini painting using encaustic art techniques and our ColorBox Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Inkpad in Pumpkin. The dress is colored with Smooch Accent Ink in Firecracker

ReplyDeletemissed where you were specific in the comment you wanted...would love some shaker jars for putting custom mixes into...they would look pretty on my windowsill too!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness I want lots and lots of your glass shaker jars! Each color of glitter could be in a jar on a shelf in my craft room! Talk about pretty organization!
ReplyDeleteI love the jumbo spritz bottles for making custom blended spritz! Using the small jars to blend embossing powders is a great idea, too!
ReplyDeleteI just love the little tins of gift tags idea that has so many possibilities! Alternately , you could stuff the tins full of gift cards or coupons instead :O)
ReplyDeleteI need the little jars and have been looking for them. I guess I know where to go now! I like to get the bigger (better deal) bottles of powder and portion them out for easy travel. Now you gave me the idea to make my own mixes!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat projects. I would love to use those clear boxes for my son's teachers gift this Christmas.

These are adorable! I'd use them to alter and give as gifts.
ReplyDeleteI love altering tins. I took a class with the wonderful Leslie Venable and learned how to use epoxy class and old photos to make a great vintage looking tin. Thanks to Graphic 45 for recommending your page!!
ReplyDeleteI like the tins as gift items or storage for metal dies. I also like the jars for storage or gift packages.
ReplyDeleteI love the tins - there are so many possibilities with them...
ReplyDeleteWow, these blanks are so unique, not seen empty ink pads before, wonderful idea. I would incorporate bottles & smaller items in my altered art. My favourite is a difficult choice.... Love the tins, great for gift boxes. I also use these for keeping flat embellishments for current project. The mister bottles is a no brainer for mixing sprays to customize. The pots too are great for colour mixing. I would also use these to keep my jewelry charms, beads etc. Possibilities are endless. Would love to win such an innovative bundle. Thank you have:)
ReplyDeleteThe tins wold be great for little gifts; the shaker jars would be great too for my glitter and such. But I would have to hide these from DD--she would claim them! :)
ReplyDeleteLOve all of it but I think I really need some of those tins!
ReplyDeleteI love the glass shaker jars, they would be fun for sprinkling cooked bits of polymer clay sand onto gel medium or other acrylic medium!
ReplyDeleteThe basic necessity items are great. You can never have too much storage. The tins would make a great Christmas present. Add cash or jewelry and you're ready to go. In the catalog I would like the design adhesive in several different patterns. A fast and easy way to embellish.
ReplyDeleteI adore the glass shaker jars..... I am so glad I recently found the FB page and liked it- so many great ideas and so much creativity.
ReplyDeleteThey're all so cute and the possibilities are endless! I alter everything and these look like they'd be a lot of fun to play with!
