Acrylic Paint Cans

Published by joyofstamping at 7:34 am under Projects

My friend’s baby was having her first birthday party. I saw this cute dress and knew it was for Makayla. I didn’t pick up a gift bag (duh moment). But, when I got home, I remembered I had acrylic paint cans from Stampendous. I had never used this size before…. but once I did…. I was IN LOVE!

I used the Acrylic Set by Stampendous called Happy Flowers. The dress was such an inspiration for colors. I also used the Birthday Topper. I love these stamps because they are a PERFECT size for these paint cans.

Then, I whipped out my crimper….. which I haven’t used in over a year. I crimped a larger strip to place around the can.

I had fun with this project…… so much fun that I made another paint can….. LOL!

 

I was sad to learn that Roses In Winter was going to be retired. This is a set I will keep anyway…. along with Do the Hula and Balmy Breezes.

    I think the paint can is the perfect way to package a baby gift - her parents can save special things in it.

    I love the paint can…just beautiful! The dress is adorable too. RIW is one of my all-time favorite sets [crying big crocodile tears that it’s retiring].

    I keep looking at the paint cans but I don’t think I could make it look as good as you did

    I had to do my niece’s dress this way! Thank you for the inspiration, my friend!

    What a great idea! I found your site after seeing what Jenn did with hers. I love your store, BTW — I’ll be putting one of these containers on my next order. :) What a perfect way to package a gift!
