Wine Bottle Tags

This week I finally got a chance to check an item off my must do list, WINE BOTTLE TAGS.  I have loved this idea since I first saw it years ago, but this is the first time I've actually made them.



Isn't this just the best idea for dressing up a bottle of wine for a gift!  COZY CHRISTMAS turned out the be the perfect stamp set to make these easy tags.

I made three tags that coordinate but all have their own look.

All of the sentiments were stamped the same.  I did the sentiment in Archival Black ink then stamped the it a second time on separate paper in Real Red and cut out "season" and "home" to add over top.

Here's the quick details so you can put together a set for yourself!

** Cut your cardstock 2 1/2" x 8" and score at 2 1/4".

** Punch a circle in the 2 1/4" portion of the tag using the 1 3/8" circle punch.

** Embellish!  I adhered designer paper 2 3/8" x 5 5/8" to the tag portion then added a sentiment and SNOWFLAKE ELEMENTS.

Once you get the basics done, you can change your designs and come up with lots of variations.  In fact, I did a second set that I'll be sharing on Friday to give you even MORE ideas!

And speaking of ideas........

How about 5 awesome ideas that are ready to go with complete instructions!  Yep, it's almost time for the December Mini Session to be released and it's full of inspiration as always, allfor just $8.95!  To find out more and subscribe, go to Create with Connie and Mary.  I hope you'll join us!

Cozy Christmas in Black and White

I've gone with a bit of a different color scheme for today's Christmas card.....it's all in black and white.



It all started with the WINTER WONDERLAND VELLUM STACK.  Some of the designs are black so I thought why not do an entire card with black and white.  COZY CHRISTMAS has a lovely little scene that works perfectly with the vellum that has the pine trees.



I added a layer of the BLACK GLIMMER PAPER from Halloween, it fit well with the sketch challenge I used for inspiration.

It's the sketch from Try Stampin' -or not- on Tuesday.   Now you can see how the black glimmer paper fit in so well!

I added in a couple of the larger silver sequins from the Cottage Greetings card kit and a white embossed sentiment to finish off the card.  And as always the envelope is stamped to coordinate.

I hope you'll join the challenge with me.  You have two weeks to add a card to the line up.  Just visit Try Stampin' -or not- on Tuesday for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

Cozy Christmas

I have a really fun shaker for you today!  I made a cozy little snow globe with Cozy Christmas.



Bet you didn't expect these colors for a Christmas shaker card!  I know it's a little unusual, but I think it works.  Guess where I got this color combo?? Yep, it's from Create with Connie and Mary!



I love being able to use black glimmer paper for something other than Halloween, so that's how this card got started!  I pulled out my glimmer paper and the Winter Wonderland Vellum.  The black stripes look amazing with the black glimmer.



I kept the center of the card neutral with Smokey Slate which makes the bold red glimmer sentiment really pop.



I couldn't resist adding in a few silver sequins, I figured the card could handle just a little more bling!  Lots of glimmer today for this fun shaker with non-traditional colors.  I didn't have Cozy Christmas on my radar at first, but I am so glad I bought it!  That's it for me today, see you Saturday for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!
