I made up this gift for some friends that we visited yesterday. Inside are packed several individual size packages of m&ms.
When we get a can of fruit that has a pull tab on top, we always open the bottom with a can opener. Our can opener makes a small cut on the side of the can instead of the bottom. This allows us to rinse the can and refill it with goodies (like candy). All we have to do is glue the bottom back on and the recipient uses the pull tab on top to open the container.
The cardstock wrapped around the can is Pure Luxury Soft Sand. I added the stitching to the top and bottom before I adhered the paper to the can with Scor-Tape. The label image from the Gina K. Designs Lovely Label stamp set was stamped with VersaMark onto PL White Ivory cardstock and embossed with Chocolate scented embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment (also from the Lovely Labels set) onto the cardstock using Pear Tart Memento ink.
I wrapped green ribbon around the can and tied it in a bow. The label was trimmed with scissors and mounted with mounting tape to the can. I used a circle cutter to cut the PL Green Apple cardstock for the top of the tin, adhered it with Scor-Tape and embellished the the tin with several blue buttons.
