Tied together with Love

I punched wholes along the wide pink ribbon then took off the handle then threaded the ribbon on then tied White and Balck in between. The Black ribbon has white stitching on it so it matched the paper perfectly

You know me I have to Have Ribbon.

As Part of the swap we had to include

1 card

2 tags

10 Twinchies ( 2x2 embellishments)

So I used my scraps and made these.

2 tags

10 twinchies

Are you sick of paint cans yet ?

Anyway here is Mymost recent Paint can this will be sent to my Partner at the end of this month. But shhhh its a secret swap . So we don't know who our partner is . I hope she likes it as much as I liked making it I tryed to make it look like a Elf shoe so sewed a shoe that slips over the paint can. it has a pocket on the side too. We had different Chelledge projects to include in our can. I will post more pictures of those once the swap is over I don't want to give my self away too much. But in the pocket at the side is a book mark and some tags that were 2 of the challedges I also tied the can opener on to the handle then slipped it into the pocket and added a ribbon Poinsetta to the top of the opener Somyou can see that in the picture. Then of course I went Ribbon crazy on the handle. This was so much fun to make .

Here is a valentines can that I made the girl that I swapped with was a tinker bell fanatic. I have a Cricut machine and a Tinkerbell cartridge to cut the die cuts which any of you local ladies are welcome to come over and use by the way.
I embossed the hearts.
and used red floral wire to wrap the hearts around the can. Tinkerbell has little gems on her shoes and hair. just to add the Bling.I always tie ribbon on the handles to decorate. For those who know me I am addicted to Ribbon so try to use it on almost every project. Luckily I have a Ribbon outlet near me and a Trimtex outlet store so am able to fuel my addiction pretty in expensively LOL I actually ended up adding more ribbon to the handles than shows in the pictures I just tie small pieces on until the handle is covered.
The other can I made is a more traditional valentine theme heart paper Love quotes and title.

The "Marie" can was one of the cans I received. Isn't it clever how she laced up the side with thin ribbon. and the paper underneath is sparkly these pictures don't do it justice

Not your average gift Wrap. Throughout these last couple of years i have been involved in some fun swaps. One being a apaint can swap they have been different seasons themes.
Basically you take a empty Gallon paint can . Which can be purchased at Coles hardware and some paint stores for 2-3 dollars. Then decorate it with a certain theme then fill it with Goodies.There is no end to the possibilities .These can be decorated for any age group. The Pictures are some of the paint cans I have receieved and the ones I have made too. Especially this time of year it is fun to come up with creative gift wrap ideas.that can disguise the gift. Fill with candy, bath goodies, small toys, cookies, the list goes on. even decorate one in Husbands favorite sports team and fill with his favorite snack.they can be covered in Fabric, paper, gift wrap there are many tutorials or patterns online. But if you have any questions don't hesitate to call me or maybe you want to come over and i will help you make one.
