Can you explain the Delmonte can? Do you decorate it to give as is with the contents, or do you somehow open it, empty it and refill it with something else? I've seen these a couple times now, but wasn't sure. Your projects are great!

Karen ~ you use one of those can opener's that unseal rather than cut (I got mine from Pampered Chef). Open it from the bottom, pour the fruit into another container & was can, removing label. I then did my Plaid Maker on 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock, cut a piece 1.75 x 7.75 and attached it to the can using Tacky Tape. Then I just stamped another piece, colored it, matted it & attached with SU Dimensionals & natural hemp. It was a hit at my Stamp Camp today!(y)

OH.. .MOST IMPORTANT PART... Before decorating, fill can with candy, small gift, incentive stamp, etc., then reattach by putting small dabs of Crystal Effects on the can bottom where the can "body" attaches to it. Press the pieces together & put something heavy on it. I let mine set up over night with heavy cans on them for a good hold.
