New Stuff Is Here!

I just got my order of the new catty stuff and I’m going to have SO MUCH FUN! This bottle topper was made with a couple of the new In Colors along with a new Designer Series Paper. I worked up this idea as a possibility (with some revisions for the season) for our church bazaar/bake sale in November. This was so easy to make after I got the dimensions figured out. Lookie:

First the recipe:
Stamp sets: Tart and Tangy, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP
Ink: Basic Black, Pixie Pink
Punches: Scalloped Circle, 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" Circle, Tab, Scalloped Border
Other: Sticky Strip, double sided adhesive

Using the Melon Mambo card stock, make your drink holder a length of 11" and a width of 2.75". Score 1.25" from one end, and 3.25" from other end. Long end will fold up to make pocket, short end will fold back to go over bottle.

On short end, punch hole with 1 3/8" circle punch. In Crushed Curry CS, punch hole with 1 3/8" Circle Punch. Centering hole in punch, punch again with Scalloped Circle Punch to get scalloped ring. (It’s easier to do it this way than to punch the scalloped circle first and then try to punch the hole out of the middle) Glue to hole in drink holder.

For design element on bottom, stamp lemon slice in Pixie Pink ink. Punch out with 1 1/4" Circle Punch. Punch Melon Mambo CS with 1 3/8" Circle and Crushed Curry CS with Scalloped Circle punches. Layer together as shown.

Cut piece of Razzleberry Lemonade DSP 2.75" wide and 3.5" long and adhere to holder starting at top score line. Fold bottom edge up along score line (DSP should be below edge of pocket) and adhere with Sticky Strip. This will keep the pocket from popping open when you insert the drink mix tube. Punch a strip of Crushed Curry CS with the Scalloped Border Punch and attach to top edge of pocket. Center lemon slice on pocket with dimensionals.

Punch Melon Mambo CS with Tab Punch and fold. Stamp words from Teeny Tiny Wishes and adhere as shown with double sided adhesive.

Insert drink mix tube.

Drink Up!
