I keep seeing these cute little clear paint can looking pails at craft stores and wanted to see how some of our elements would look on them. Especially some of our "strips" such as Clara's Christmas Strips or Rosie's Ribbon Strips. I used a 2.75" tall and a 3.5" tall clear pail from Archiver's, but you could certainly use any size and adapt the design and make it all your own!
Dimensions
Here are the exact shapes, sizes and colors I used. Use the Keep Proportions option to keep the shape’s proportions while sizing it to the width shown below.

Design Tips
- I embossed the winged heart with a swirly folder in my Cuttlebug and sprayed its bottom (white) layer with some snowy Glimmer Mist to add a sparkly sheen.
- I also tied a pretty ribbon by Martha Stewart Crafts around the small pail and tied it in a bow. I affixed it with double-sided tape to keep it in place while I tied the bow.
Paper Suggestions
For most of the solid-color cardstock, I used AC Cardstock. This is my fave solid color cardstock because of its texture, its solid-color core (not white-core) and because of how clean it always cuts for me.
