Water Bottle Gifty Idea

Rasberry Ice Tea Anyone?

 

For a 16 oz water bottle

Cut a piece of Cardstock at 3" x 10 1/2"
Score each end 3" up
Fold bottom up
I cut a piece of 2 3/4" square of Texture paper for the Close To My Heart Silhouette Collection & layered it  on top
Add brads in corners and embellishments
Punch hole on top end for the opening
Use the punch piece to layer the front
Cover bottle lable if desired
 Add Drink mix to go
Can also include a coupon and business card inside!

Hello Kindred Spirits!

 

It’s official! I’ve joined the land of blogging!  I love to scrapbook, make cards and do paper crafts along with Home Décor! (Which I will be teaching in Florida!)
I hope you decide to sign in and come back and visit me soon!
  If you sign in, you will get goodies from me!  I plan on posting often and I have so much to share!
I’ll start by sharing pictures of My Shabby Chic Retreat!
It’s taken awhile, but my garage has morphed into my sanctuary.  My Happy Scrappy Place! Where I can light my candles, play my favorite music, feel INSPIRED and get CREATIVE!
So here are a few pictures of my space to INSPIRE your space!

Many items have been purchased at flea markets, yard sales, Ikea, Big Lots, The Dollar Tree, eBay, Michaels, Craigslist and more!

These boxes hold all of my cool Close To My Heart Acrylic Stamps!

These are the best quality clear stamps on the market!  Try them and see for yourself!
