Canine Be Yours?

Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I've been busy getting some projects completed and mailed. One thing I have been wanting so badly to do, was decorating paint cans (or pails). I have always seen how other people have "cutened" them up, and I just loved the look of it!  So I thought this would be the perfect time!  I found the 2 pails at Michaels and then got busy thinking how to decorate them! Since my oldest niece loves Panda's, I went searching for a cute panda.  Lo and behold I found the most adorable one at Little Scraps of Heaven. I then decided to use "You're Beary Sweet" as the sentiment on the tag. For my other niece, I found a cute dog (also at LSHD) and after "tweaking" him (he was sitting but I made him stand), he was perfect! For this sentiment, I used "Canine Be Yours"!!  I filled the pails with Hershey's kisses and threw some ribbon on them, and voila....I think they turned out so cute!

 Then for my sister and BIL, I went a little simpler. I found the Pull-up treats holder at SCS and used that to cover their Hershey's milk chocolate bar. I used some stamps from Papertrey Ink called Tiny Treats: Valentine to decorate the front and was finished in no time! (but don't tell them, I want them to think I slaved over this for hours!!!)

I did use my crimper for the first time on the bottom of these holders. You probably can't tell from the picture, but it added a nice finish touch. Thanks for looking!  I better get back to some more Valentine's gifts that I need to finish up!
