Great Taste

I was lucky to be able to participate in one of Paper Crafts Magazine’s recent special issues, Stamp It! 3 Ways. Along with the talented Lindsay Amrhein and Julie Campbell, I worked with the Sugar Rush set from Paper Smooches and created a fun, summery drink mix packet holder as my project. You can see it on page 76 of the issue. It’s out on newsstands and in crafting stores now.

The photo in the magazine is so much better than mine, but here it is anyway. I went super summery, using an orange cardstock to make the bottle tag. I dressed it up with some coordinating dotted orange on orange patterned paper, matted on yellow cardstock. I picked yellow to tie it in with the colors I used when I colored up the glass image to look like a cool, refreshing glass of lemonade. The “you have great taste” sentiment is stamped in orange ink on a yellow sentiment flag piece. A little button tied with orange twine finishes it off. Once it’s hung from a water bottle and filled with a drink mix packet, you’re good to go.
