{Spring Pop Top Can}




This is a very cool, easy, and fun project that leaves the recipient wondering how you got those personal gifts inside a sealed can!

We started out the class with a door prize, which was a finished pop can. My lovely lady Chantell won and she got to open the can (served as a demo for how the finished project worked) and received all those great little treats in the photo!

So I planned two projects for this class, but we had such fun and the ladies got so really into designing their own . . . we only had time to do this one. (The second one we'll do in the next few weeks in another class) Everyone was very pleased with the results, and they all turned out differently. We used the Looks Like Spring stamp set, the Spring Bouquet flower punch, and the Spring Showers or Spring Flowers designer series papers. For the month of October, when you purchase the stamp set and punch, the papers are FREE! (see promotions page) Just look at what beautiful things you can make with these accessories!

I took a few pics of some of the other finished cans that were done in different colours than my sample. These have endless possibilities. I want to make one using the Unfrogettable set and the santa hat from Crab & Co. and then filling the tin with red and green mints.

We filled our tins with some candied peanuts I had roasted up in cello bags. Some other ideas:
tea
hot chocolate
flower seeds
jewelry
baking mixes
bath powders
small soaps
a candle
candies, treats, fudge, homemade goodies
and any other small item . . .
