Wine Bottle Sleeves

When I watched the video by Linda Parker on how to make these amazing wine bottle sleeves I just had to try it.  You can see Linda's video's here.  Linda is a very talented lady who shares her creativity with us, which makes us some very lucky paper crafters.

I made some with a Christmas theme using Linda's measurements, what an amazing gift for Christmas.

When I visited the bottle shop to get some wine for these great little gifts I found the large and little bottles of wine which fit Linda's measurements, I made my Christmas gifts using these measurements.

I also spied a little bottle of Yellow Glen which was slightly larger than the little bottle of wine.  I purchased this thinking that the sleeve would still fit, well it did not.  So off to the work bench to work out the measurements etc.  I nailed it on the second go (I scored the wrong side the first go).

To make the wine bottle sleeve to fit the mini Yellow Glen bottle you will need a piece of cardstock 7 1/8" x 7 3/4".  Score on the 7 3/4" edge at 3/8", 1 5/8", 2 7/8", 4 1/8", 5 3/8" and 6 5/8".  Score the 7 1/8" edge at 1 3/8" each end.  The Designer Series Paper strips measure 1" x 4 1/8" and you will need a 1 3/4" circle for the base.  Follow Linda's tutorial to make the actual sleeve.

I made the second set of wine bottle sleeves using a Smoky Slate, Silver and Whisper White colour theme.  These would be great gift for a special occasion or a hostess gift for dinner or party.

Thank you for visiting.

Wine Bottle Sleeves

Reason for the Season

Hi everyone, just sharing with you the little gift boxes I made using the Large Pillow Box Thinlits, stamp sets Reason for Season and Circle of Spring, Festive Flower Builder Punch along with the Tags & Labels Framelits dies.

After watching a Stampin' Up presentation by Katie on Youtube, I made the first box for a Christmas gift.  In the presentation Katie showed a flower that she had made to show how versatile the stamp set and punch were.  My second box was inspired by Katie's blue flower.

For my large pillow boxes I have used the exact same layout, just changing the theme from Christmas to Birthday and using different DSP.

I have used the Merry Moments DSP on this box with a colour scheme of Real Red. Mossy Meadow, Whisper White and Silver

On this box I used a colour scheme of Soft Sky, Whisper White and Silver.  I did create the flowers using Shimmery White as I misted the stamp images with water before I built the flower.
