Another Wine Topper – same design as here – but done in Pistachio Pudding. They are kind of addicting 🙂 And here’s a more masculine topper using Santa Stache.
Now I’m wondering if this would fit over a different sort of bottle! Hugs, Fran
Nothing like a bottle of something sparkly as a gift for someone special! This wine bottle topper uses the super cute Mingle All The Way as the perfect stamp for this tag. The tag itself is 3 1/2″ x 9 ” scored at 3″. The bottle neck opening is 1 3/4″ I embellished the tag with Silver Glimmer paper and a cute, cute tag from Under the Tree Tag a Bag Accessory Kit (page 7 in the Holiday mini – 135865) Then I stamped the sentiment and added some Dazzling Details in the glass.
Supplies
Stamp Set – Mingle All the Way
Card stock – Garden Green, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer
Ink – Memento Tux Black
Etc – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Blendabilities, Star embossing folder, Banner Framelits, Under the Tree Tag a Bag Accessory Kit, Dazzling Details, Cherry Cobbler ribbon, 1 3/4″ circle punch
So now I have something cute to dress up my gift giving this holiday season – and so do you! Hugs, Fran
This little ghost is strolling through the pumpkin patch to wish you a Happy Halloween. The background is done with the double time technique using Mingle All The Way from the Holiday mini in White Craft ink. The ghost from Fall Fest is embossed with White embossing powder on Basic Black card stock and die cut using the matching dies. The pumpkins are stamped in Tangerine Tango on Whisper White card stock and die cut, along with a few leaves. More fun than spooky, but your trick or treaters will enjoy the fun look!

Happy October! One of the Creative Crew challenges at Splitcoast this month is a Halloween/Fall Focus. I did a Fry box created with the Motley Crew Designer Series paper and Ghoulish Greetings. The Fry Box die is one of the easiest dies out there – die cut, adhere on the sides and decorate. I embellished the sentiment with googlie eyes on the sides and decorated the polka dot cello bag with googlie eyes too.
Not much of a Halloween fan or need a Fall treat? I flipped the DSP so that the just the leaves on the trees were showing and made a Fall Fry box.
The sentiment is from Gratitude For Days and the embellishment on the top is 3 Autumn Wooden Embellishments colored with ink pads and glued together.
I hope you’ll take some time to hop over to the Creative Crew Gallery for October and see all the wonderful creations. Want to play along? Create a Halloween or Fall project and upload it using CCREW1014HF in the keyword section. Hugs, Fran
