Julie Elak is kicking off the series and she is sharing a fun idea for dressing up a purchased candy container.
Looking for a fast way to add some fun to a can full of treats? Grab some patterned paper and your favorite YNS Christmas stamps and get inking!
I started off with a can of yummy raisins that I wanted to pretty up for the holidays. 
Take patterned paper, ribbon and add a card of sorts to the top, to turn it in to…
Cut out 2 circles, one slightly smaller than the other to match the top of the can. Decorate as desired. Create a card for the top by scoring the smaller circle and adhering the scored section to the larger circle. The inside sentiment is from the Paw-liday Pups stamp set – humans love treats too and the sentiment fits with the can full of sweet treats.
So what will you be decorating this year?

Great idea for using card making supplies. And the camouflaged can means if I give them to myself no one will know how much I’ve already eaten!
Such a great way to personalize a gift or treat!
A delightful way to add festive flair to a ‘simple’ gift! The moose is absolutely adorable! Looking forward to the 12 Days series; the ideas are always wonderfully inspiring!
