For my first project, I am showing some new dies that Taylor will be releasing that seriously is going to make it extraordinary to give gifts with a handmade flair!!! Here is a Small-Hinged box (altoid tin) that was decorated using a couple of fun dies!!!
1. The  Gift Card Frame die (super easy to cut the right amount to decorate the top or inside of the tin
2. Soon to be released: On Display Tin Insert die - allows you to create an insert to gift earrings or necklaces and has awesome words "To/From" in different fonts to decorate the front
3. Soon to be released: Tin Topper Die: Allows for part of the top to have a circle embellishment 

Here is my project using these dies along with the soon to be released stamp set: Small Packages that has the perfect sentiments for all kinds of occasions thru the year:

 I love these photos taken by one of my dearest soulsister friends of our family when my parents were in town. I want to use this for our December Holiday Cards so I made a layout using these photos. I used the DoodlebugDesigns: Frosty Friends paper collection which was the perfect papers to coordinate with the colors of our dresses in the family picture - how perfect!!! I used the Pockets and Pages Essential collection (to die cut the pictures and the designer paper I also used the Mini Borders above the pictures.
I also used the new Pockets and Pages Medallion Showcase and P & P Banners with Bonus die that has the word "Dec" die cut on it. Love these dies - it makes it so easy to write journal entries, cut out pictures in fun patterns and create easy layouts!
