Today I'm using one of the new sets from the upcoming 2018 Occasions Catalogue...only three more sleeps until it goes live...yay!
The set is called "Bubble Over" and it also has a matching set of 'Bottles & Bubbles' framelits available. One of the things I love about this set is its versatility - the bottles can be beer or soft drinks, so can be used for either adults or kids...winning!
While I was making this card for a very special friend's upcoming birthday...
...I thought how cool it would be to make a 3D bottle of beer. As the bottle shape is symmetrical it's so easy to make a 3D item from it.
I used the Big Shot to cut out 11 of the smallest of the two bottle dies, scored them down the middle, folded them in half and glued them together. I then stamped and stuck the beer label to a strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock to go around the bottle.
And of course to complete the look I thought it needed to be sitting on a beer mat (coaster) so made a very quick one out of a square piece of Sahara Sand cardstock and stamped it with a couple of images from the Bubble Over set. (It's hard to see in the picture as the colour is so faint but I used the swirly circle image from the stamp set to create the look of beer stains on the coaster).
And there you have it...
Now I want to make one that's a soft drink version as I think the cute little straw that comes with the framelits will sit nicely in the middle of the glued together bottles.
These would make a cute little 3D gift tag for a present, don't you think?
