On My Supply Shopping List
First off, let me apologize for being slow lately. I've been very busy, and hardly on the computer at all. Saturday I had a lot of people over so I spent most of the end of last week either cleaning, shopping or cooking in preparation for it. Needless to say, I'm still exhausted two days later. I do, however, have a recipe I'm going to share for amazing cookies I made for the event, but that will probably be at least a week from now before I can do it. We'll see!
Anyway, thanks to a friend of mine who is about to launch her own craft line, I've become once again motivated to work on one of my brands that I had half-abandoned a while ago from lack of time and, to be honest, my constant crafting ADD - note my acknowledgement of "one of my brands", because yes, there have been many. I've already shared my packaging concept with her, and she was excited, so I'm excited. While looking around a variety of packaging and container sites, I saw these cute little flat tins from SKS Bottle. I think it would be an awesome way to package little cards or gift certificates. They might not suit everyone's tastes, but I think they'd be perfect for anyone whose line had a modern flair to it. SKS also has a kind that has a sliding top - that could have a lot of fun possibilities, too!
Hah! I was just on this website this morning looking for the very same idea, except I need them in color so I'll be using another website. :)

Christine - I sent you a PM the other day... or did you mean on the blog? The BBQ burned me out, man... it was sort of crazy. Thanks for the pep talk, I'm getting excited to work on it again!
Julieta - I've never seen them in color before - definitely pass them on when you find them, I'd be interested to see how they look!

Very cool source for all things container-like... look forward to seeing the final product you will be putting in your tins!

So far I can only find colored candy tins in white and red. I have one more contact to check out. If I find anything, I'll let you know.

Hmmm. Went to that website again, and you can upload your own artwork to the size you want. Maybe just upload blocks of color?
