RG Avenue New Release...Pucker UP!

Hello there inky friends.  Today I'm sharing a fun little gifty bottle to beat the summer heat!  I created this digital tag for a yummy little treat bottle full of some tart homemade vodka.  Have it straight up (better pucker up!) or add it to some sweet fizzy soda like Sprite or 7-up.  DEELISH!

Lovely Lemonade Stamps and digi files

I found the little clasp lid bottle at Hobby Lobby and grabbed some fun ribbons to tie onto it while i was there.  

To create the tag, I arranged the images in the Lovely Lemonade (digi version) set onto a Word Document and then changed the color to fit the theme.  Next, I used the tag shape on MS Word to outline the images in a tag shape.  To allow for a white border, I added a hollow tag with a white outline around the edge.  I printed it out, cut it and poof, it was done.  EASY PEASY. 

Before attaching the tag and ribbons, I filled the bottle up with some Ketel One Botanical Grapefruit and Rose Vodka.  This is my favorite vodka to drink on its own because it has a very slight natural sweetness.  After filling the bottle with vodka, I added two packets of Lemonade Kool-Aid.  Yes, the powdered packets with NO SUGAR.  I shook it up and gave it a taste. TALK ABOUT PUCKER POWER!  WOOEEE!  I knew it would be an amazing mixer for some Sprite.  

After closing up the cap, I attached the ribbons and attached the tag with a yellow button and some black twine.  It's ready for the weekend!  HEE HEE! 

To make this a non-alcoholic gift, You can fill your bottle with homemade (or purchased) instant lemonade powder...or add some cute little lemon candies inside! 

Thanks for hopping over to check out my tasty project today.  I'll be back again to share another project created with the final stamp set in the Designer Kit bundle.  See you then!!!

RGStudio360 Presents: Weekly Bundle: Monstrously AWESOME!

Hello there inky friends!  Today's the day!  RG has launched his weekly bundle!  This bundle is such a fabulously fun bundle to create with and I decided to go full-on PARTY Mode with this one!  This set is perfect for Valentine's Day and Birthdays, is just too fun as a Craftivity tool for little kiddos and is just a blast to play with.  Just think Mr. Potato Head...Monster-fied!

To save even more, find a CSD who can offer you an additional discount!!! 

So now, let's get on to the deets about my project!  I created some Monster Pops that packs a big punch (and a TON OF SUGAR)!  I started out by creating the monster image (in digital form).  It was fun mixing and matching all the parts and I finally decided on this design.  I printed it out twice and colored with Copic markers.  

 I wanted to create a monstrous look so I kept my Copics nice and juicy and blended them to allow the colors to bleed into each other. 

I coordinated my colors with a mixed berry sprinkle mix I purchased from Sprinkle Pop.  I love the variety of sprinkles (including the metallic covered spaghetti)! 

To create the yummy treat, I used some cream cheese frosting to attach a marshmallow to a piece of brittle (tastes like roasted marshmallows) from my mom,  then I stuck a festive paper straw into the marshmallow.  After that, I applied more frosting (as glue) and added some sprinkles.  Since the monster image is made with non-edible parts and marker ink, I just balanced the monster on top of the treat so it could easily be removed before eating...YES, I ate my treat after the photos were taken.  MMMMMM...Good!

Thanks for hopping over to check out this project!  I hope you are inspired by this project.  I'll be back to share another fun creation featuring this adorable collection!
