This was inspired by the set that Carolina posted in the DD Gallery. This is an Altoids Tin (licorice flavor is silver and black) with a set of tiny cards and envelopes. Envies are made from copy paper wheeled with the Square pegs Jumbo Wheel and cut out using the SU mini template. Altoids tin is not painted, just a piece of gingham ribbon around the edge (with sticky strip) to cover the writing around the edge. Cardstock on top is also adhered with sticky strip.
This was the door prize I made for SoCal StampMania II. I'm thinking about doing it as a Stamp Camp project too.

Melanie - I think the finished card size was 2 3/4" x 1 3/4", but I don't have the set any more to double check. I based the card size on the envie from the template.
