Gallon Sized Altered Paint Cans: http://www.rubberroadadventures.com/1105KarenGAlteredPaintCan.htm
Quart Size Paint Can: Measurements: I was doing some quart cans for another swap and decided to actually write down the measurements for the paper for a quart-sized can in case it would help anybody: I used two sheets of cardstock 6 3/4" wide by 4 5/8" high. The seams overlap a little. I used ModgePodge/double side tape to adhere the paper. If you use modge podge you need another layer of the modge podge to seal it.
For the lid, I used my Cricut to cut a perfect 3" circle. If I had the option (but I don't), 3 1/4" might be a little better but the perfect circle is wonderful!
It looks like you can make 3 cans with two sheets of paper if you have an allover pattern.

Dyan can we get this as a sticky please?

I'm going to try to do some classes for the slide mounts when I start putting mine together for the swaps.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

NO problem.. There are a few more on here I need to hunt down.. I just didn't have time this morning.. had to fix a tire on my van and than we went to the zoo for the afternoon...just got home!!!
I plan on working on some slide mounts tonight!!! I had PM'd Dyan so I knew she'd sticky us as soon as she read her mail!!!


DYAN

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

thanks Dyan!!!

Nan we were looking for you on the 3 word thread.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I'll pop over there... I've not even looked at that thread.. got 4H on the brain...again! ERK!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

updated w/ chipboard instructions!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Just in case someone is looking for a tutorial. here are the ones we have had so far on the boards...

 

[red1der1]

Thanks so much for doing this.

 

[aroyer]

I am so grateful for this thread! I just did BAMB's tutorial on chipboard- it was so easy and it's pretty darn cute! Thanks!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

how did it go?

 

[aroyer]

Pretty well. I didn't trim the paper close enough in some places and so the filing didn't work as well in some spots. But honestly, I didn't want perfect edges, I wanted it too look distressed, so I am really pleased with it. I inked the edges and they are cute. I made parenthesis {} with a monogram in between.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Glad to see this thread getting some use!!!

 

[spreadingpixiedust]

Thanks for all the great tips. I am new to scrapbooking and am having trouble feeling confident enough to make final decisions. I have spent hundreds of dollars and only just started really doing the work.

Thanks for your help. I'm ready!

[wdwdancerwannabe]

I'm wondering if maybe there could be a link of techniques to use w/ the cricut?...
Maybe pages that have cricut cutouts on them? ... just a thought what do you think?

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

we are working on it. It's in my agenda of this to do once DH starts his new job.

 

[PrincessNancy96]
