Wine Down for the Holidays

Wednesday I'm teaching my first camp at Williamson's Orchards and Vineyards and I'm so excited for the experience and to gather together with crafting friends I haven't met yet!  I know we already have a few things in common.  We love the holidays, making special cards, and drinking wine.  That sounds like perfection to me!

One of the cards that I've been teaching that is completely inspired by this event uses the great stamp set in the holiday catalog - Half Full.  This stamp set would work for more than just the holidays but works great for those in your life that like wine and have a good sense of humor!

For this card, I ran a 5 x 3 3/4 piece of White through the Big Shot using the Softly Falling Textured Impression Embossing Folder (TIEF).  I added a silver foil snowflakes (LOVE THEM) and trimmed off what hung over the edge.  Then I mounted it on a card base that is 11 x 4 1/4 and scored at 5 1/2.

Next you add a 2 1/4 x 1/2 piece of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper to the snowflake using Tear and Tape.  Stamp a 1 x 3 1/2 piece of White and punch the end using the Banner Triple Punch.  Layer on the card with adhesive.  Then stamp a wine glass on a scrap of Whisper White and cut out with your Paper Snips.  This is layered on with adhesive.  I then punched 3/4 of a 3/4 circle of Champagne Foil and added it with adhesive.




For the inside of the card, I stamped the wine glass and both sayings on a 4 x 2 1/2 piece of Whisper White.  This is mounted on a 4 1/4 x 2 3/4 piece of Cherry Cobbler using adhesive and added to the card.  Then stamp the wine glass one more time on the scrap of a Cherry Cobbler and cut it out.  Color with the Clear Wink of Stella pen and attach to the inside wine glass using adhesive.


Supplies:
  • Cardstock: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Champagne Foil, Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Paper
  • Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Stamp Set: Half Full
  • Big Shot: Multi-purpose platform, cutting mats, Softly Falling TIEF
