I have seen so many awesome altered Starbuck's 4-packs on this site and wanted to try making one to resemble a gingerbread house. The top window is made from the wide oval punch. The door I had to make free hand since I couldn't find a punch that would work. The windows and shutters are free hand also but were easy to make. The wreath on the door was made from the large flower in the Boho Blossom punch with a circle punched in the middle. Smaller punched circles were added to decorate the wreath. The tops of the lids don't show well in the photo, but I stamped the circle stamp from Frames with a Flourish in Old Olive and put a white flower button with linen thread in the center of each one. I wanted to keep the lids simple so that they would not detract from the rest of the house.

cocoacrispie... I am not sure which candies you are referring to. The stamped images are from the Sweet Holidays stamp set. The lollipops were made from punching a 1" circle from card stock and then taking a marker to make a swirl design. As for the candies in the bottles, I put M&M's in two bottles, spice drops in one and red/white peppermint swirl in the one.
Thanks for all the nice comments above. I appreciate them!
