Merry Christmas Everyone!! This is Tammy and I get to share my version of Eight Maids a Milking! It's homemade flavored coffee creamers stored in recycled Starbucks bottles.
I started with a 4-pk of Starbucks Frappuccino
My family enjoyed drinking them for me and then I just removed the labels... they came off easy too!
I gathered my ingredients (recipes at the bottom of this post) and started mixing...
My front labels are two cricut frames from the new (not released yet!) SONGBIRD cricut cartridge with a cute 'Maids a Milking' stamp from the 12 Days of Christmas set by PENNY BLACK. I cuttlebugged my bottom frame with the Swiss Dots embossing folder (my personal favorite).
I printed the flavor labels from my computer using the GRINCHED font and punched them out with a circle punch. Put one flavor label on the back and one on the top.
There you go... my version of "Maids a Milking"... lol. I am making several sets of these to give away as Christmas presents. Hope you liked it!

Love this idea. I'll have to try this one.
This is one awesome gift idea. You are one creative and super inspiring stamper. Thanks for the recipes for the coffee creamers. I might just have to put this one my list of things to make. I know to many people that love coffee. Thanks so much.

That is one of the most clever ideas I've seen yet! I love it! What a perfect gift for the coffee drinkers in your family!
Tammy, these are awesome! What a great way to re-use those bottles! What kind of adhesive did you use for the labels? Did you put the ingredients on the bottles?
What an awesomely yummy project!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
These are awesome! I love all the recipes you included with the project! Great gift idea and SO FUN! You did an amazing job!! LOVE THEM!!
Hugs, Joy
Thanks Everyone!!!
Kelly: I included the recipes in a Christmas card that goes with the gift. As for the adhesive, I used my ATG gun.
Tammy,
They are lovely. Thanks for the recipes as well.

What a great idea, I will have to try this. Thanks for the inspiration
OMGosh I just made my first Altered Frap set last night. I put in chocolates and cocoa mix. I really like this idea of coffee creamers. I plan on making another set, so I think I will make the coffee creamers. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thanks everyone! Carmen: I had a hard time deciding between the cocoa and creamers... so I plan on doing the cocoa next. You will love these creamers... my family has been taste testing them all day! LOL!
We're going to try the pumpkin one with the Splenda. I'd love more with splenda or fake sugar in it....send them to me at gladiola64@hotmail.com
Love the idea, but don't drink coffee, so where can I find chocolates/cocoa recipes to use?
Thanks for sharing the recipes. What a great gift!
What a cool idea! Thanks for the recipes. I have lots of coffee-addicted friends and this would work beautifully! I love, love, love this!!!

Waht a great idea. I love this and will definitely keep it in my album for next year. Great idea. Thanks for the recipes! They may be used sooner. :)
These are just too cute. You could also fill them with a cocoa recipe and top it off with baby marshmallows for non coffee drinkers. Love your idea and the cow is adorable!
Merry Christmas Tammy!
These are so cute and you are so creative! I will be making a set for each of my 4 daughters Christmas, they will love them too! Thank you for sharing with us.
Sincerely,
Cindy

Love this idea. Chocolate covered Cherries are my favorite candy!
I'll have to try these.
Does the extract cause the powders to clump?
I have many of these bottles, but not the carriers! Quess I'll have to try and make my own.
Thanks for ALL the inspiration.
Tammy, this is a terrific idea! I immediately had a friend come to mind for this gift so I guess I'll be trying your recipes. TFS!
Way cute! I love the mini milk bottle look - can't believe I never thought of this before!
Cute, cute!
These look so professional -- very, very nice!
This is a tastey surprise!!
Very nice, Love gifts from the home.
Oh, wow! That is a great gift for a coffe lover like myself. I also love recycled art very much!
Tammy, I love altered frapacino bottles, and yours are "moo-tastic"
Such a cute idea. Can't wait to make these. I love how you recycled the frapacino bottles/carton for this. Labels are darling. Thank you for sharing recipes. I recently made your chocolate covered cherry cookies you gave with the hello kitty gable box, they were a hit!
I wish I would have seen this a few days ago ! I've been so busy with baking I haven't had time to sit on the computer :( My dads would LOVE this!
Pure genius, Tammy :)
What a great idea for recycling and the flavored creamers sound wonderful. I have some of these bottles and have been waiting for a great idea to use them. Thank you so much for sharing.
very clever! love the gift 'packaging'
What a great idea. I will have to make some of these. I sure am up to the task of drinking the starbucks to get the empty bottles. Thanks for the recipes.
Cute ideelleru@sbcgloba. I would like to know where the cow image comes from. If you know, please let me know.
cowbelleru@sbcglobal.net
This is one of the best ideas that I've ever seen!!! LOVE IT!! I'm going to have to think about doing this for next year for gifts. Thanks so much!!
These are a great idea. I have not tried the recipes yet but they sound SO good. Thank you.
