It's the day before Valentine's Day! I can't believe how fast this week has flown by. If you still need a gift for that special man in your life, here is an easy one that he is sure to love!
Go to the store and get a 6-pack of his favorite beer. Or, just for fun, grab one of those really big bottles.
If you chose the 6-pack, black out a border around the top of the box, and the middle of both sides, as shown below. (The 12" paper is just a little short to reach the top and halfway around the box, so this way it will just have a black strip showing.)
Grab a piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper and cut it in half, so you have two pieces of 6x12 paper.
Line the paper along the bottom of the box, and center it... then glue it in place. Do this for both sides.
If you are doing the big bottle, measure the height of the label, and cut the paper a 1/2" larger. Line the paper up so that it covers the label on the bottle and glue it in place. If your bottle has a small label at the top of the neck, you may choose to cut a small strip to cover that also.

Print out the label for the box by going here. If you are doing the big bottle, get the smaller label by going here. If you are having trouble printing the correct size directly from you internet browser, you can go here and save the image to your computer. You can then open the image and resize it as needed in any photo editing program, or even in Word.
Cut out the label and center it on the box or on the bottle.
I absolutely love this!! However, every time I go to the link on google docs it just says "loading" but it wont ever download. Could you check this? Would love to be able to use it!! :)
ReplyDeletenevermind, once I signed into google it downloaded! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like it, and that the download worked for you! I hope you have a happy Valentine's!
ReplyDeleteI can't get it to print right. It prints part of the words and then prints a black rectangle.
ReplyDeleteHi Debra, I'm sorry it's not printing correctly for you. Have you tried downloading it before printing? If you would like to email me at ascrapoftime@yahoo.com I would be happy to send you the files directly.
ReplyDeleteBoth labels are the same size :/. I tried printing the smaller one beause the bigger one covers the whole budlight box. It would look cuter to have the scrapbook paper border like in the picture above.
ReplyDeleteHi Tiffany, I made a JPG version of the image that you can save to your computer and resize it as needed in any photo editing program, or even in Word. I copied the link below. I hope you have a very happy Valentine's Day!

Hello, I am also having trouble printing the one for the large beer bottle. i just get the really big print for the box. Can you please help? I would love to use it for valentines day. i already tried copying and pasting the link you provided in the previous post but it didnt help...
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm sorry you are having trouble printing the correct size. The link above allows you to save the file to your computer and open it in another program. I actually like to use Word to print images since it is very easy to size it the way I want. You can also use any photo editing program you are comfortable with to resize the image and print. I hope this helps! :0)
ReplyDeleteHi. I'm also having trouble printing the label for the individual beer bottle. It comes out the size of the large label for the 6pack box. I even tried using the link you provided in the previous post and doesn't work. Can you please help? Would love to use it for valentines. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi! If you are having trouble printing directly from the internet browser, all you need to do is go to the link...

Both labels print the same size. I want to use the one for the individual beer bottle. I need it for a Heineken beer bottle, but it prints too big. Can you please help? I want to use it for Valentines day. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal,
ReplyDeleteIt seems a lot of internet browsers are printing the labels the same size. You can go to the link...
