Wine Tags.....Who Knew?

Hello!  Getting down to crunch time.  Here's hoping all of your crafts are turning out well!

You know my looooove of tags, right?  Why have I never made Wine Bottle Tags?  Talk about love of crafting.....here we go!

This tag will be entered into the following Challenges; Power Poppy, Time To Rewind (this falls under: Gifts From The Heart , 3 Designer Papers and Embellish This!),  Simon Says Wednesday, Tag It, Simon Says Monday, Holly Jolly Stamping, Penny Black, Anything Goes With A Stamp, and Mod Squad, All That Glitters.

 

I used the Flourishes stamp sets, Home For The Holidays and Star Of Bethlehem (thanks for the reminder, Barb!).  I made a template for the wine tag, it's white card stock that measures 7.5" x 2.75", scored at 2.5" and a circle die cut on the small end.  Simple!

 

I started decorating the white card stock with Designer Papers, including that pretty Green Glitter Paper.  Spellbinders Classic and Scallop Circle dies.  I also used the negative die cut from MFT's Western Star Border and Stitched Traditional Tags.   

 

Images colored with Copic Markers.  Sakura White Glaze Pen and Adhesive Pearls, and Baker's Twine for accents.  I think the sentiment works perfectly for wine....yippee!   

 

So fun....so festive....so practical!

 

Thanks for popping in!

 

Merry Merry!



Home For The Holidays

There's no place like home for the Holidays.  Right?  I think we all can agree on that!  Whatever your traditions, however many relatives you can jam under your roof, it's a time for love and laughter.  I LOVE Christmas......I truly do!  I remember when we were little my brothers would make me go downstairs and retrieve the stockings, I was more than HAPPY to do that!  They would lie in their warm cozy beds and open up their socks full of trinkets, while I sat on the hard, cold linoleum floor.  Can you tell I was the baby of the family?  :)  As soon as the last of the wrapping paper had hit the floor, they'd roll right over while I just wanted them to ooh and aah over my new Barbie.  Men!  lol

Sorry sometimes when I walk down memory lane I get lost.....but I'm back now.

Today's card is for a few Challenges:

Curtain Call, Welcome Home 

Penny Black, November Challenge

Simon Says Stamp, Anything Goes 

 

 

This beautiful stamp is part of the Home For The Holidays set available at Flourishes.  Colored with various Copic Markers.  I also used some Sakura pens to add a little sparkle, green throughout the vines, copper for the pine cones and hanging ornament, and red for the berries and doormat JOY (my most favorite word, in case you did not know!)  I also added some fine glitter to the stoop to mimic the sparkle of fresh fallen snow.   Background shape cut with my Cameo, and Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  Even the Hubby liked this card, so that's saying something!  :)

 

Definitely some time left on these Challenges, you should go check them out!

 

Until next time......enjoy~~
