Seasonal Wine Topper

Today's inspiration is a gift label/wine topper. This is a great way to spruce up a gift bottle of wine and to add some personality to your 'wrapping'. This is also a great way to use up some scrap pieces of paper for your cutting.

This topper was inspired by the one that Cindy Brumbaugh made last year. Retired Supplies Used: Scentsational Season stamps and Framelits, Good Greetings Stamp set

Happy Winter!

I was supposed to post this card yesterday to welcome in Winter, but it seems like I missed the first day of Winter by a day. The days are now starting to get longer again :) Hooray! Welcome Winter!

To make the 'shaker' part of this card, I used a clear envelope and just cut it (on the side that opens) at 3.5". Then you add in your sequins and seal it back up using Sticky Strip. I also added some extra snowflakes on the white piece I added to the interior of the card, just for some extra pizzazz.

Happy Easter!

After seeing the cute bunny posted on Stampin' Up!'s blog earlier this week, I decided that I had to make a couple of these for my boys. I did make a couple changes though.  I used the largest oval framelit for the body, just to make the bunny a little bigger.  

I also used the smallest heart framelit for the nose.  I also used the owl punch for his eyes, and for the heart on the banner.

For the bunny, I used the Natural Composition paper - to give them a little dimension.  I like how this paper is already embossed and that it resists ink.  For the egg that the bunny is holding, I used the 2 x 1 3/8" oval punch instead of the one suggested, especially since my bunny's body was larger.

I also inked the embossing folder before embossing the egg, just for fun ;)

If you've never applied ink to an embossing folder before embossing, you should really try it! 

I also added googly eyes.  You can never go wrong with googly eyes!  I'm sure glad I stocked up on them from the Holiday Catalogue.  Maybe they'll make it to the 2013-2014 catalogue?  I really like how the bunny turned out!
