Christmas Wrap Up!!

 The top two have Bugaboo images. The third one if  a Sew Many Cards image. All colored with Copics and Stickles added.

 The below mouse is from The Greeting Farms and the cute girl is a clear stamp set from Some Odd Girl.

 

Here are all five larger cans. I added rosettes to the tops with bottle caps. Three of them have the 1 inch snowmen from Inspired Stamps. The other two have a be jolly stamp.

I made three more of these in a smaller size, I forgot to take a picture of one :( It was fun watching the boys try to open these.

 I made several glass jars with chex mix that I made. I love how these came out.

 I used Inspired Stamps on these two, the tops and the tree above.

 I love the rosette on this one with the circle stamp.

 I made heart candy cane chocolate bark. Just put the two candy canes together and pipe in melted chocolate.

 

 

 I used a Bugaboo stamp for the above image. I cut a tree from Christmas Cheer and used Peachy Keen faces for the jar below.

The snowman was cut from Doodlecharms and I used a Peachy Keen face on it. I used the perfect pearls for the dots on both.

I made these three pop top cans for gifts. I put gift cards and candy inside. These were a hit.

 The first image is from The Greeting Farms and the next two are from Bugaboo.

I made a ton of gifts and since Xmas is over sadly now over so I put many of them in one post. Hopefully this will give you some ideas for next year ans you have an excellent memory :) Merry Christmas everyone!!

Pop top cans

I saw this idea on cricut.com and loved it. I tried it for Christmas presents for my nephew's and niece's for Christmas. I filled them with candy and a gift card. They were very easy to do.
I tried the first two with hot glue to seal and do not recommend it. Then I used Gorilla glue (which is at the craft stores. I got mine at Micheal's for $5). Some of the bottoms did not look fantastic so I put ribbon around the bottom. I recommend putting a lot of pressure on the can after gluing and leaving it on there for a least an hour.
When you are looking for cans to use make sure the bottom is not rounded on the edges. The saftey can opener(I got mine from pampered chef for under $15) will not work on it. The bottom edges should look the same as the top edges.
Also I recommend a thin scrap booking paper since it bends easily and can be glued easily to the cans. I used spray glue for the paper since it is cheap and goes a long way.
Here is the link to the tutorial I used for inspiration. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/pop_top_can/

Add a tag with Christmas stamps on the other side on these two larger cans.

Have fun with making these. I think you will love the results.
