Remember on Wednesday when I told you about the sugar scrub I made for my daughter’s girlfriends at college? Well she also needed some quick gifts for the guys – and since we figured you can never go wrong with candy for those men in our lives I went back to my ever growing stash of Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino bottles and grabbed two of the larger size bottles – LOL.
Here is what I came up with for her guy friends – I kept them simple since after all they are guys. And since this was final week I knew the sugar rush would come in handy during those all night study sessions!
This first bottle is filled with Christmas Candy Corn and I used the Warmth & Wonder Hostess Set (131880/131883) from the Holiday Catalog stamped in Baked Brown Sugar Classic Ink. I just love this elegant little deer image and since it fits into our 1 3/4″ Circle Punch it’s great for all kinds of quick gifts and projects.
I first wrapped my bottle using a 9″ long piece of Season of Style Designer Series paper that I cut 2″ wide. I used a piece of Sticky Strip to attach this to the bottle. Punched a 1 3/4″ circle of Designer Series Paper and attached that with Glue Dots. (I didn’t wrap the side of the lid with Designer Series Paper this time since the mocha’s brown lid coordinated with my project.) I adhered my image and layered it onto my 2 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch Baked Brown Sugar piece and quickly pieced some holes in the scallops using my Paper-Piercing Tool and Stampin’ Pierce Mat and finally I added a couple of Dimensionals to the back so that it would stay really well on the slick glass surface. Voila! all done with gift number one and onto the next one.
I wanted them basically the same but different so this second bottle uses the single stamp A Gift For You stamped in Cherry Cobbler and punched out using its coordinating punch, the Label Bracket. Easy pease – after I decorated it I just filled the bottle with some spice gum drops. Twenty minutes later she was set to hit the road!
