Distressed Tin Can


Hello Friends

I hope you are all well! It has been so long since I last blogged!

I wanted to show you my new project.

Some lovely home decor :)

I was going for a vintage shabby chic look.

 I made this with the new Unity SMAK kit Be You For You

I love everything about this kit!!

I especially LOVE the sentiment I used.


If you know me I love to upcycle things.

 This was an old bean can I was about to throw away.

 I saved it, cleaned it out and painted it white with acrylic paint.

 Once it dried I took a nail file and distressed it.

  Then I made a label to put on the front and put some lovely flowers inside. 

Here is a quick video of how I made it. 





I hope you are inspired to make your own :)

Unity & Misti Blog Hop

Hello My lovelies :) Welcome to the Unity and Misti blog hop! I  hope you are enjoying seeing all of the projects so far. I just had my first wee play with the Misti tool the other day. It is a very new to me tool and wow do I LOVE it!! It is awesome! Just for the simplest of things like positioning a stamp.  One time is all you need with the Misti!! I am not one of those crafters that gets my stamped images crisp first time. I usually have wasted a card or two before I end up with a perfect image. This tool totally eliminates all of that.  Here is my very first card that I made with the Misti tool and Unity stamps.  I used a stamp called  Scattered Pieces . I LOVE this stamp and the sentiments that come with it.  I positioned the feather and the sentiment at the same time on the Misti.  I totally love that you can do that too!  It lets you stamp several at once instead of just eye b...
