I thought the sentiments from Verve's new All About You set (to be released on Wednesday, June 25) would be perfect for little notes of appreciation that you might stick inside a spouse's packed lunch. I made this lunch tin and card ensemble as a gift for my sweet mom, who has been packing my dad's lunch for 45 years!! The tin came from the Target $1 spot, and originally held Sugar Daddy candies.
Stamps: All About You, Seeing Stars, Swirly Stars (Verve Visual)
Paper: Parakeet and Lagoon (Bazzill); Real Red, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla (SU!), Spring Fling Collection dp (Pink Paislee)
Ink: Real Red and Chocolate Chip
Accessories: large oval punch, 1" punch, ticket corner punch, large and small star punches, corner rounder, sponge daubers, vintage brads, Real Red and Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, River Rock and Wild Wasabi double-stitched ribbon (all SU!); aqua stitched rib

Amy this is so awesome. I know that it will be greatly appreciated. I think it is so sweet that she has packed his lunch for that long. What love. I think in todays world we could all take a lesson from our elders. This is just terrific. I cannot wait for the release of this set. It is a must for me. You did such an awesome recycle job on the lunch tin. Love it. TFS
