Woohoo! It’s time for the November edition of the Remarkably Created Blog Tour! This month we’re featuring the new Stampin’ Blends Markers. They come in 12 of your favorite Stampin’ Up! colors (a light and a dark in each color) plus Ivory and Bronze. And there’s a Color Lifter! You can buy them all individually or you can purchase all 27 as a collection.
My project today is a cover for a wine bottle. A bottle of wine is such a popular gift to take to a party or a dinner, and of course, you want to give it in something nice. This cover is perfect for year round, any occasion or holiday. And it’s easy!
Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 11″ x 12″
scored along the 11″ side at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″, 7″, 8-3/4″, 10-1/2″
scored along the 12″ side at 2″ and 10″
burnished all score lines with a Bone Folder
Cut using Paper Snips, according to the diagram:
removed two smallest rectangles and angled the leftover tab (in blue)
cut vertical score lines along the bottom just up to the first horizontal score line
marked along the top side with a pencil at 7/8″, 2-5/8″, 4-3/8″, 6-1/8″, 7-7/8″, and 9-5/8″
cut from pencil marks to the intersections of the vertical score lines and the first horizontal score line – this cuts away the green areas
used a 1/4″ circle punch to cut a hole in each triangle, about 1/2″ or so from the top – you may want to use a smaller one, like the 1/8″ Circle Punch, depending on the size of your ribbon
Stamped with the Half Full stamp set:
bottles, wine glasses, and sentiment in Memento Black ink onto the six largest rectangles of the Whisper White Thick CS cover
bottles in Archival Basic Clack ink onto a scrap of a Gold Foil Sheet
Fussy Cut using Paper Snips:
tops and labels of wine bottles stamped on Gold Foil Sheet
Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:
bottles in Old Olive
wine in glasses in Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight
Assembled the project:
gold wine bottle tops and labels adhered over the colored wine bottles on the cover, using Fast Fuse
skinny tab at one side of the cover adhered to the inside of the opposite side, using Fast Fuse
inserted wine bottle to make the next step easier
folded in one bottom tab, then glued the opposite tab to it
rotated the bottle and glued the next pair of tabs, then the last pair.
NOTE: Do one pair at a time so they line up and create a symmetrical hexagon when you’re through. The only tab that doesn’t get glue is the first one, so it won’t stick to the bottle. All the other tabs are glued to the one(s) above it.
starting in the front, ran about 22″ ribbon through the holes in the tops of the triangles, always front to back
ran the ribbon through the first hole again, back to front, then tied a bow, and trimmed the ribbon ends

Today’s project is a double Z-fold card made using the Ribbon of Courage Bundle (Ribbon of Courage stamp set and Support Ribbon Framelits dies) for the ICS Blog Hop.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but there are lots of other types of support ribbon colors. See the chart below. I used Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum as the main colors, and the sentiment is all purpose, so you can decide if it’s for Breast Cancer or something else.

On the TA September Blog Hop, we are sharing some of our favorite products from the 2017 Holiday Catalog. It’s impossible for me to narrow it down to just one…or two…or three… But for today I decided to go with the Merry Little Christmas Mega Suite.
There are so many wonderfully coordinated products in this suite, for card making AND gift wrapping! It includes the Merry Little Labels Bundle (Merry Little Labels stamp set and Everyday Label Punch,) the Carols of Christmas Bundle (Carols of Christmas stamp set and Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies,) Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) and coordinating 12″ x 12″ card stock (CS) pack, Merry Music Specialty DSP, 7/8″ Striped Ribbon, Acetate Card Boxes, Green Sprigs, Jute Twine, and Mini Ornaments. Holy cow, that’s a lot of cool stuff!
Here’s what I made:
I used some of the products from the Mega Suite to make this gift box
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
12″ x 12″ Kraft card stock (CS) scored 3″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6″ x 6″)
Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 9-9/16″ x 9-9/16″, then scored 1-3/4″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6-1/16″ x 6-1/16″)
This is the same basic diagram for both pieces. Cut solid lines and score dotted lines.
Stamped with the Merry Little Labels stamp set:
sentiment in Basic Black ink onto a scrap of Kraft CS
Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:
sentiment with an oval die
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
scalloped oval from Basic Black CS, just a little bigger than the sentiment oval
Assembled the box:
folded all score lines on both pieces of paper and burnished with a Bone Folder
glued the tab at each corner to the inside of the adjacent side – do this for all four corner and for both pieces of paper
put the lid on the box, then wrapped Jute Twine around it and tied a bow
glued the sentiment oval onto the Basic Black CS scalloped oval
adhered the sentiment to the top of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals, being careful not to put any along the center, so the twine can slide underneath
