FRIDAY

TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY 11

Going to a party and need to take a bottle of wine, or giving someone a bottle of wine as a Christmas gift?  Here is a quick, easy way to decorate your gift.  This is my husband's homemade Strawberry Wine.

 Not sure why this turned out so blurry.  My picture looked great, but I took a couple and when I loaded them here, they seemed to not be so clear.

This easy topper can be decorated in any way you want.  The possibilities are endless.  There are also quite a few ideas on Pinterest.

The basic directions are as follows.  I haven't included any step by step pictures since it is pretty straight forward.

Cut your cardstock at 2 3/4" x 8 1/4".  Score at 2 3/8" on one end.

I used one of the Dies from the Delicate Lace Edgelits (pg 217 AC) for the bottom of my project, but you can change that up in many ways if you do not have that set of Edgelits.

Cut two pieces of DSP (here it is Dashing Along) 1/4" smaller than your cardstock on all four sides.  You need a piece for the top and a piece for the section that hangs down.  Adhere to your cardstock (here I used Cherry Cobbler) with Tombow Glue.

Use one of your smaller circle framelits to cut a hole in the center of the small top section.

Cut that same size circle and the next larger one out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and adhere with Tombow around the hole you have created.

For my images on the front I used the Half  Full Stamp Set (pg 22 AC), stamped with Momento and colored with Blender Pens.  I also put a little Wink of Stella on top of the coloring.

I used the Pretty Label Punch for all the images and also used two of them in Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper for the back of the wine glass image.

To finish off the project I used Silver Edged Ribbon because it has some bling and I love it.  I didn't even realize it was retired, but it is.  Sure hope you already have some.

Come back on Monday for the last of the 12 Days of Christmas projects.
