I’ve had this K&Company paper for quite a while and just love it. It’s the Baily line and I thought this would be wonderful for making a mother’s day project. The photo is my mother when she was young and inside the cascading album I will put in other photo’s from her childhood. (she was such a cutie back then….not that she’s not today 😉
I used the AccuCut lunch box die for the tin- I used the Provocraft Lunch Box standard sized tin. The flowers were made with AccuCut Flowers #16 and I used a medium weight coaster instead of chipboard. (I covered the front only with patterned paper) I love the way the paper grips around the corners of the flowers when cut with the AccuCut- nice and clean. I layered 2 of the die cut flowers and added a 3d K&C embellishment in the center. (perfect fit!) For the tag album I simply covered my chipboard with patterned paper and cut out at 4″, 5″, and 6 1/4″. I couldn’t resist adding a little floral punched edge to coordinate with the tag on the tin which was also cut with the AccuCut tag die only I cut down the sides to better fit the size of the lunch box. This was fun and I hope my Mom enjoys it 🙂 She’s already received the chocolates I ordered (man they ship too fast!) and I KNOW she enjoyed those!
SO pretty! I am really loving it… really beautiful! I love the punched edges and the layered chipboard… yummy! This paper collection is perfect for Mothers Day.
I missed chatting with you over the weekend. I’ll give you a call tomorrow afternoon. I’ve a hundred things to do but thought to drop by and see what you’ve been up to!
Love it! It’s so pretty. I work at AccuCut yet I am not near as crafty and talented as you are. But I do know the benefits of the machine. I couldn’t imagine creating without it. Thanks for sharing.
I Love the use of the printed paper and the punches!!! And the flowers are beautifully!I will be stopping in again!

This is BEAUTIFUL! And using your mom’s childhood photo on the tin is even so much more personal. Congratulations Clarissa on winning the Mother’s Day contest from AccuCut. I know your mom will cherish this gift for many years to come!
This is beautiful!!
