Can I Just Say…
Aug 21st, 2008 by Jen
HAPPY FRIDAY!! Actually, Happy ABC Friday! First, here’s the winner from last week’s Sketch For You To Try participants…
#29 Jen Tapler with THIS CARD. Congrats Jen! Please email me your info {link under my pic}.
If you’ve been reading the last couple days, I know that I {heart} my project for today. I don’t mean to sound like I am gloating, seriously. Sometimes though, you just create something and you want to shout, “I did this!” So, are you laughing at me, with me or just rolling your eyes now? LOL! Let’s just say there was an “A-HA…light bulb ON” moment when I realized the tubes fit into the box.
Psst…your eyes are deceiving you. All the labels line up straight. HA! Ok, so I was a little sloppy there! So what the heck is this, anyways? It’s a coffee lover’s gift set that was created for the Verve Stamps Project Parade inspiration piece…
So how much are you craving one of these calorie-free-in-your-wildest-dreams beverages?? Yea, me too. See ya at Starbucks, k?
I created this from a clear plastic card box and four clear plastic tubes. Both can be found HERE. A few more shots of the project…

The labels were generated on the computer, printed out on label paper and then stamped over and punched out.
Here’s the template. Please note that this falls under copyright and I ask that you do not use this for distribution or personal gain. THANK YOU!!
Cut along red lines. This is not to scale and should be used as a reference for your project.

See you manana for another SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY!

Fabulous creation! This my sound really dumb on my part but what exactly is in those tubes? I know chocolate chips for sure but the others I’m not sure. Flavored creamers? Instant coffee mixes?
