Acrylic Paint Cans
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.
What an adorable idea, Joy! Love the cans, as well as that little dress!
They both are beautiful. Love them!!!
So cute! Love it all!
P.S. love your blog too, and wanted to let you know that I linked to it from my blog. Let me know if that’s not cool! Thanks!
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].
That is so pretty! I keep eyeing those paint cans and the topper stamps! This isnt’ helping! 😉
your cans are darling Joy! I need to use my ladybug topper stamp I got from you and make one of these!
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!
