Fun With FabScraps - Study Buddy's Pencil Tin

Hello, my friends!

I have a fun new FabScaps project to share with you today!
This is one I did a while ago but haven't shared here on my blog yet. 
It's using the fun C98 Study Buddy's Collection. 
As always with my FabScraps posts, I first have all the photos,
followed by the full tutorial.

STUDY BUDDY’S COLLECTION

Star Student Pencil Tin
Nancy Nickel

For this project you will need:

·        FabScraps Study Buddy’s Collection Paper Range C98 007, 008

·        FabScraps Study Buddy’s Collection Sticker Sheet ST98 001

·        Favorite Layered Labels Die (Spellbinders Nestabilities – Labels Eighteen)

·        Cardstock – White

·        Ribbon – Coordinating Colour

·        Scor Tape

·        Tin of Choice

Instructions:

1.     Measure height of tin between top and bottom rims. Cut C98 007 this measurement by full width of paper. Depending on the size of your tin, this may not be enough to go around. Cut a second piece to cover the remainder of the tin. Cut it from the same place on the second sheet of paper, and the pattern will line up around the entire tin. You can see how I pieced it by the photo of the back of my tin. Adhere paper to the tin using Scor Tape. This gives a smooth and strong hold.

2.     Cut labels from white cardstock. Apply “Star Student” sticker to one label, and “DON’T BE AFRAID TO BE GREAT!!” sticker to other label.

3.     Cut two lager labels from C98 008. Add white labels to the front of these labels.

4.     Adhere labels in place on the tin front, and the tin lid, as shown in photos.

5.     Wrap coordinating ribbon around rim of tin.

6.     Tie ribbon bow and add to corner of front label. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for looking! See you again soon!

2.    From C101 006, tear (or cut) around large pink peacock image, and small purple peacock image. Also, tear the peacock image from the 6 X 6 peacock page from the Card Kit. I prefer to tear these over cutting them, as it leaves a nice soft edge when adhered to the journal.

3.    Now adhere all the peacocks in place, as shown in the photo. Score the images where they sit in the crease of the journal.

4.    Using gel pens, apply stitch marks around the peacocks. Do any other doodling you choose.

5.    Take the ticket stickers from the ST101 001 Sticker Sheet, and apply them to white cardstock. Trim out leaving a narrow white border. Apply in place, as shown in photo.

6.    Apply Stickles to the images, as shown in the photo. Enjoy!
