V-Day Gift

For Valentine's day this year, I wanted to relish in the good times my boyfriend and I spend together. The best moments usually occur during various random adventures, so I thought, "what better way to celebrate spontaneity than with a variety pack of beer?" I designed each bottle differently, and since Jeff loves trying new kinds of beer and values good design, he absolutely LOVED his gift.

  8. Thank you all for the amazing comments! I'm glad you like them!
    For those of you interested in making your own, here is how:
    Remove existing labels from the beer bottles by either soaking them overnight and scrubbing the remaining residue, or use an adhesive remover such as Goo Gone.
    Next, print your labels on sticker paper, cut them out, and adhere to the clean bottles!

    I'll try to get some pdf templates up for those of you who would like them :o)

    If you'd like some custom designed labels or other paper products, feel free to email me at staci.paul@gmail.com
