mmm...Stampin' Time

This wine bottle gift box was made to hold a full sized wine bottle, just in time for Christmas.

Yes, it will hold a full sized bottle of wine.

I used SHADED SPRUCE 12″x 12″ CARDSTOCK, as well as the stunning PLUSH POINSETTIA SPECIALTY PAPER and the RED VELVET PAPER PACK.

I used Real Red and Shaded Spruce as my main colours, with the white from the flocked poinsettia paper and sentiments STITCHED SO LOVELY DIES elements (even though they look like Very Vanilla in this image).

This image shows the wine box from a slightly different angle, with the decorated lid off and to the side.

This photo shows the wine gift box from another angle – looking down from the lid.

And, finally a close up of the poinsettia details on the front of the gift box.

Who would you gift box a bottle of wine for Christmas – friend, work colleague, neighbour or family member?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

The card I shared yesterday used some Designer Series Paper from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON pack. For today’s card I chose another piece of paper from that pack – this time, the Christmas inspired poinsettia one.

I wanted to create a clean and structured look for this card.

Three panels were cut using one of my favourite die sets, the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES. I spaced them evenly and popped them up on dimensionals. There was just the right amount of space for two lengths of JUST JADE 1/4″ RIBBON, with a bow tied into each piece.

The WORD WISHES DIES gave me the Merry Christmas I wanted. I cut each word three times using Poppy Parade cardstock with ADHESIVE SHEETS attached. This allowed me to layer the two words and create some lovely dimension.

Lots of RED RHINESTONE BASIC JEWELS added all the bling I wanted.

I added strips of the DSP to the inside of the card and the envelope.

The use of just few colours is one of my favourite approaches to card making – Just Jade, Poppy Parade and Whisper White for this project.

Happy stamper … happy stamping.

I recently dusted off my BEAUTY ABOUNDS STAMP SET for a card that I made during my Facebook Live on Wednesday. It was the Terracotta Pots card I posted yesterday – I used the small bokeh stamp from that set.

One thing I discovered when I opened the case was that my BUTTERFLY BEAUTY DIES were still inside the stamp case – and I haven’t used them in a long time. So, that inspired me to use them today.

I wanted to see how the butterfly die cuts would look when placed over some Designer Series Paper. The FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON 6″x6″ DSP provided lots of options. Finally, I chose the Bumblebee floral.

The two butterflies layers were die cut using, two of the 2020-2022 In Colours, Bumblebee and Cinnamon Cider cardstock. Before I die cut the butterflies layers I placed ADHESIVE SHEETS to the cardstock so that I didn’t need to add glue – that worked a treat!

I am pleased with the way the floral elements fill different areas of the butterflies in such varied ways.

To fit the butterflies onto the card front, I needed to cut the DSP at angles.

The sentiment was chosen from the BEAUTY ABOUNDS STAMP SET and stamped in Cinnamon Cider onto Very Vanilla before being cut using one of the STITCHED RECTANGLE DIES (I used a ‘two-step’ die cut – I cut out the shape and then laid the die on top of the piece a second time, locking the die over the stitched elements to create a shorter length).

Some Cinnamon Cider Ribbon was placed under the sentiment piece before being popped up onto dimensionals. The final touch – a few 2020-2022 IN COLOUR ENAMEL DOTS.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the second half of the sentiment onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and also stamped one of the butterflies from the stamp set. The same butterfly was stamped onto the envelope.

I am so pleased with how this card turned out!
