If you ever need a lesson on etiquette – don’t come to me. My mom gave me a copy of
Emily Post’s Etiquette
I do know how to set a table, though. And, I do know which forks and spoons I’m supposed to use. I also know that you should always bring a small gift when attending a dinner party as someone’s home.
Typically, I’ll bring a bottle of good wine in a nice bag – maybe a cute wine tag if I have time.
With warm weather approaching and countless cookouts and picnics on the horizon, I thought I’d share this project which could be the perfect hostess gift for sunshine filled parties…and a great alternative to the oh-so-common bottle of wine.
This project was inspired by these fabby bottles from the Container Store:
set to add some fizzy fun ..and Hero Art Let’s Chill
set provided the perfect sentiment!
I’m loving the colors in this card – and they coordinate PERFECTLY with the current Play Date Cafe Challnge #80 – so bright and screaming for summer!
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
- Dissolve sugar in 1 cup of water of medium heat to make simple syrup
- Add simple syrup to fruit juices
- Add sparkling water

So beautiful! You can come to a BBQ at my house anytime! You are such a thoughtful guest.
So fun! Love it!!!
Recipe looks tasty too!
I’m with you on the whole etiquette thing…
Wow, this is a great idea! Love the card and bottle of orange drink! Thanks for the recipe too!
How cool! I don’t cook, but if you come – and bring your orangeade- I’ll happy order in! 🙂
Mmmm – looks refreshing! Love the way you added the banner to the pop-out orange from Fruitful. And I can’t wait to try that recipe this summer!
Such a sweet card, Amber…you’re right, it coordinates perfectly with the PDCC and summer! Thanks for playing along with us!
I am seriously jealous of places like the Container Store (and Michael’s and Hobby Lobby and Joanne’s etc). This island is lovely but it’s useless in the crafts department…
This is an awesome summertime hostess gift. Can’t wait to try some of that orangeade!
I am with you on the jealous front Jen… would kill for a Michael’s! What a fun gift Amber and I love that card 🙂
OMG! You are seriously killing me with this one! Too fun! Great job Amber! This is sure to please!
Yum, Amber! Very delicious card, and recipe! THanks for sharing them with us at The PLay Date Cafe. 🙂
Awesome. You are just too darn creative!!
great way to dress up a plain bottle. such cute stamps!
How COOL! Love that awesome bottle and card!
Oh is this wonderful! Gotta love all of that orange and that super cute image!
Love, love, LOVE this project, especially the simplicity of the design and the way your orange pops up and you let the stamps do the talking! FANTASTIC! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!
This is just too ‘cool’ (parden the pun)! Love your image & bright colours, they are sooo Summery. I am jealous… we are just heading into Winter.
This is such a cute idea and that card is perfect. Fantastic use of this week’s colors. Thanks for playing along at The Play Date Cafe.
