DeNami Blog Hop: Summer!

Happy Sunday! I hope you're enjoying your trip through all of the fabulous creations on today's DeNami Designs Blog Hop!

You should have arrived from Deb W.'s blog, and now you're visiting me (Suzanne Bier)! If you arrived directly onto my blog and want to start at the beginning, just visit the DeNami blog for the full list of hop participants!

Our theme for this month's hop is SUMMER! 

Don't forget to leave comments for ALL the participants as you hop along...TWO lucky commenters will each win a $20 mini shopping spree on the DeNami Designs web site!

For this hop, I customized a tutorial that I found online to make a smaller version that fits on a water bottle! It has a little pocket on the front, which is the perfect size to store drink mix packets for a picnic or other summertime fun!

Notes: To make this narrower version, I cut the card stock strip at 4 1/4" x 11", which will let you make 2 treat holders from one 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of card stock! The score lines I used are 1/4" apart instead of 1/2" as shown in the tutorial. I also border punched the top of the pocket before I stuck everything down.

DeNami stamps used: Surfer Chickie, Umbrella Garnish, Party Time Stamp Set.
The sentiment used on this card is from another manufacturer...I stamped it to show placement on this example.

(This size could fit four regular bottle drink packets...unfortunately, I didn't have any of those, so I used the 2-quart size for my example!)

Your next stop on the hop is the super-creative Barbara Murphy! I'm sure she's created something totally summer-ific for the hop! In case you want to start at the beginning, the full list of participants is on theDeNami Designs blog!

Don't forget...you have until Monday, July 9, 2012, 11:59 pm PST, to leave comments on all the blogs (to be eligible for one of the two $20 DeNami mini shopping sprees).

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop!
