Saddlewood Acres: Wine Bottle Tag by Maria

Wine Tag/ Label in Blue and Silver - The Friday Mashup 188

Yesterday I made a wine label for a customer of mine, and I liked the Pool Party and silver one so much I thought I would make another one for the challenge with The Friday Mashup here

This week's Mashup Challenge is:

Create a project using "Silver or Gold".
Create a "Christmas Project".
or Mash it Up! and create a "Christmas-themed Project with Silver or Gold"

My choice was to make a Christmas wine tag/label using the colours Lost Lagoon and silver.

The wine tag/label was die cut using Lost Lagoon cardstock and the banners framelit I managed to make it 9 7/8" long by placing the unnotched end over the cut edge of the framelit rather than under it (then it didn't cut). It is 2 1/4" wide. I scored it 3 " from the top and used a 1 1/4" circle punch to make a hole for the bottle neck (in the middle). To make this opening look a little more decorative, I took a scrap of silver foil paper, punched a 1 1/4" circle in it, then centered a 1 3/4" scallop circle punch around it, and punched. The resultant scalloped "hole" fit the bottle neck hole perfectly.

The Lost Lagoon tag was matted with decorative silver striped vellum, which I die cut the same way only with a smaller banner framelit. This was cut in 2 secions - one 6 1/4" long, and the second piece 2 5/8" long. The vellum was attached using vellum double sided tape. After the vellum as attached to the flap, I again used the 1 1/4" circle punch to punch through the existing hole.

In the middle of the tag I attached a silver foil piece 3 by 1 1/4". The top and bottom edges were scalloped with the scallop edge punch.

Then I made a cone embellishment using the "All is Calm" DSP, which I punched into 1" pieces using the 1" square punch. Each piece was rolled into a cone and adhered to a punched circle using a hot glue gun. In the center I placed a snow flake die cut using a retired sizzlet die. A 1/2" silver foil circle was attached to the center followed by a large rhinestone. It was attached using the hot glue gun.

The sentiment from "Many More Messages" was stamped with Lost Lagoon and embossed with clear embossing powder, then die cut using the Labels framelit. It was matted with silver foild paper. Of course I had to place some rhinestones under the sentiment.

To finish the tag, I made a bow out of the 5/8" silver satin ribbon and adhered it to the bottom of the tag under the embellishment.

Greeting Card Kids Tag and tutorial

Next week is my last class before Christmas, and my plan is to have a variety of tags on hand for my students to make.
One thing I wanted to do was make a tag using the envelope punch board. While searching for samples, I came across this lady (The Paper Princess) who had done a remarkable video on tags using the Envelope Punch board here
After watching the video, I decided to make one of the tags, and do a step by step pictoral tutorial while I was at it.

I used the stamp set "Greeting Card Kids" to make this tag, a stamp set I haven't used at all this holiday season.
Here's how I made the tag:

Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock any size you wish, but I chose 2 1/4 by 4 1/4"
Insert this piece into the Envelope Punch board at the scoring guide and punch.

3. Turn the tag over and punch the other side the same way. This is what your punched tag now looks like.

4. Mark some cutting lines on the tag, or free hand it. I prefer to be a bit more accurate and draw the cutting line.

5. Cut these pieces off. This is what the tag looks like now.

6. Now make the tag topper. You can make this any colour you want to coordinate with other elements in your tag. I chose to make mine in red.
First cut a piece of Real Red card stock 2 1/2 by 1 1/4" and score at 1 1/4" on the long side.

7. Fold this piece in half and crease with the bone folder. Open it up and insert it into the envelope maker at the 1 1/4" mark and punch. Turn over and punch the other side.

Close the punched piece and again crease the fold with the bone folder. This is what the topper now looks like.

8. Punch a hole in the top. Reinforce this hole by punching a another hole in a different colored cardstock and use a 3/4" circle punch to punch around it. Make two of them. I made green ones, again to go with the colour scheme of the tag. Adhere these around the punched hole.
