More Berry Bliss Tin Card Files









For one set, I made matching cards to store inside, and for the other I made dividers for filing.  The dividers are made with the Stampin' Up round tab punch, pink eyelets, a corner rounding punch, Stampin' Up card stock and DSP, and an adhesive runner.

The tin boxes are by Provo Craft.  These are my favorite in this shape and size because standard 1/4" ribbon fits perfectly around the outer edge of the lid.  I get them at Michael's Craft Store.  
If you buy these, check them carefully for damage when you take them off the shelf.  I find that many dents will just push right back out by rubbing your thumb across the dents from the inside.  When I see a tin lunch box in good condition, I buy it and set it aside for when I need it.  They will sometimes stock the shelves with badly damaged tin lunchboxes and you can't find a good one when you need it.  

Products used are from Stampin' Up: Berry Bliss Designer Series Paper, Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware, Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, Purely Pomegranate double stitched grosgrain ribbon, One Of A Kind stamp set, Purely Pomegranate Classic ink pad.  I also used various ribbons and eyelets that I picked up at Jo-Ann and Walmart.  The paper is attached with Scrapbook Adhesives Photo Tape by 3L.  The ribbons are held in place with Aleene's Original Tacky Glue.
