With Creative Stirrings’ permission….the divas did their OWN spin on a fabulous….. Can ‘O Dates
A HUGE thanks to the FAB-U-LOUS and ever so talented Aileen from Lil’ Buckaroo Designs for helping me to put this together. LOVE YOU, girl! {If you ever need someone to design some FABULOUS invitations for you….SHE is your gal!} With her expertise….we were able to combine her design and my logo images to come up with the PERFECT gift.
This can easily be put together in a hurry! It seriously took me less than 20 minutes….once I had the container! I purchased the bucket from Michael’s for $4.99. I then printed the four printables on white cardstock & cut everything apart. The only other materials you would need would be a cutting board or scissors, ink {optional}, ribbon, and strong scrapbooking adhesive.
We have TWO different color schemes you can download. The first one matches our site! Woot, WOOT! Brown & Pink…..what do ya think??
Then we decided to go a more traditional route….and create a color scheme that would appeal to most couples. I present….the red, black, & white version!!
Super cute, huh!! OHhhhh……you are gonna need ONE more thing….. We also included We came up with some date ideas of our own….and combined them with ideas from Creative Stirrings, with her blessing. {Thank you!!} When I put together my own “Can ‘O Dates”…..I inked the edges a little bit, used strong scrapbooking adhesive to attach the printables to the can, and placed the date strips inside. It’s cute enough that you don’t even have to wrap it….just set it on the Gift Table with a card! 🙂 What a PERFECT wedding present, huh!?! NOW – this doesn’t JUST have to be for weddings! This would also be a fun gift for other couples in your family for Christmas! 🙂 AND……who says others have to have all the fun?? You can put this together for you and your OWN spouse tonight! Check out what one of our creative readers, Robin @RobbyGurl’s Creations, did with our printables….
She just happened to have a bunch of formula cans on hand and decided to create darling presents for family members for Christmas! By resizing our printables, she created the darling journal above as well as the cute smaller version of our “Can ‘O Dates.” If you want her files, click HERE. To see her original post, click HERE.
