October 30, 2009 by Jenny Walters Leave a Comment

Fall is the perfect time of year to start turning fruit into wine! The great thing about it is that it gives you plenty of time to prep your fruit wines for the holidays. Homemade fruit wines are such lovely gifts; useful, thoughtful and one-of-a-kind!

We’ve decided it’s high time to start making sure you fruit wine afficianados have high-quality, well-designed wine labels to choose from. We’re premiering the new product line with these exciting new designs, take a peek and let us know what you think!

Our Sweet Cherry wine label features sumptuous design touches like a subtle crackle finish and tasteful plaid pattern. The cherries are plump and ripe, and the label design is classic. The colors on this label can be changed to suit your taste.

Patterned off a vintage soda-shop, our Limoncello label has charm to spare! The black and white checkered floor and fresh lemon slice give this label a vibrant, attractive design.

We just love the juicy strawberries pictures at the top of this label. This label was designed in the style of strawberry jam jars, and would look sweet and bright against a bottle of strawberry wine.

We’ve just begun to tap the surface of fruit wine labels, so if you have an idea for other fruit wines we could design for please leave a comment!

Inexpensive Wine Gift Ideas

Much like the elves in Santa’s workshop, our graphic designers have been busy this year! They’ve come up with some brand new holiday wine labels that are so cute none of us can seem to pick which ones we want to use on our gifts to friends and family!

The reason we love personalized wine labels so much for holiday gifts is that, not only are they adorable, they’re also an easy, inexpensive way to jazz up what is really the perfect gift for wine lovers: Wine!

I mean really, how many corkscrew sets and wine glasses do they really need? What they really want to see is a nice bottle of wine to enjoy!

If you’re planning to slip a bottle of wine into your loved one’s stocking this year, take a look at some of these new holiday wine labels:

This quaint little village is peaceful and covered in a light dusting of snow. The text area of the label ensures you have plenty of room to write holiday wishes, including the story of where you found the wine! Silent Night is a beautiful label for both red and white wine.

Take a close look at the Santa’s Wine Stop label and you’ll see Santa’s carrying the perfect gift! Good for him for not enjoying some for himself! The festive colors and thoughtful touches (note the star with hanging grapes at the top!) make this label a natural Christmas favorite.

Oh, this Snowman label makes us so happy! He’s just so cheerful, and the colors are so bright! We could see this working really well on a nice bottle of white wine, or perhaps maybe even some limoncello!

Wine Bottle Candles

How cute are these wine bottle candles?! Kristen, one of our very creative customers, used empty wine bottles and custom wine labels to make unique table decorations at her family’s reunion this summer.

She designed wine labels with her grandparents’ wedding picture on them, and then adhered the labels to empty wine bottles. She filled the wine bottles with citronella oil, and, drilled a hole through the wine corks, and fed a long wick through the corks and down into the oil.

Instant custom wine bottle candle!

The thing we love about these is that you can store them and re-use them for future events. All you’d need to do is design new labels for different events and then stick them on over the old labels. Just think how lovely it would be to sit around outside, talking and laughing by the light of these candles while the bugs stayed far, far away.

Great job coming up with a “green”, DIY party decoration Kristen, and thank you for letting us feature your project on our blog!

Breast Cancer Fundraising Idea

October 8, 2009 by Erika Leave a Comment

As I’m sure many of you know, October is breast cancer awareness month! If you’re interested in helping fund research to find a cure for breast cancer, one of the best ways to do this is to participate in one of many breast cancer walks that take place across the country.

Once you’ve signed up, it’s up to you to come up with ways to help your team raise as much money as you can. Our favorite way to do this is to hand out or sell personalized bottled water.

Bottled water is the ideal handout at a fundraising event, especially if there’s walking involved. It’s portable, useful, healthy, and easy to customize. You can add the name of your team, the date(s) of the event, and a pink ribbon logo to make it coordinate with the event.

Some teams get really creative with their labels! We printed these labels for a team of women participating in a 3-day walk for breast cancer. From their sassy team name, “Babes for Boobs”, to the adorable logo they created for their team, these ladies went all out!

We also love it when companies get involved. Nordstrom helped spread breast cancer awareness by handing out bottles with these labels during the month of October.

If you’re interested in spreading breast cancer awareness or raising money for the cause through the sale of personalized bottled water, check out our pre-designed breast cancer awareness label or please get in touch. We’d love to be involved with making your event a success!
