I Love You Beery Much

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.


 And there you go. One "beery" nice Valentine gift for your man!

  4. I can't get it to print right. It prints part of the words and then prints a black rectangle.

  5. Hi 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.

  6. Both 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.

  7. Hi 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!

  9. Hi, 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)

  13. Hi Crystal,

    It seems a lot of internet browsers are printing the labels the same size. You can go to the link...
