Warmest Wishes & Christmas Cheer

Isn't this a nice sentiment?  warmest wishes & Christmas cheer - love it.  And such perfect thoughts to put on a tag for a holiday wine gift!




The red plaid card stock is from my box of scraps.  This tag measures about 2 1/2" x 7" so not much paper or card stock was needed.   After cutting the tag, I ran the card stock through my Big Shot using a scalloped circle to make the hole for the wine bottle.  Then I added a pretty green ribbon and bow to the sentiment tag.  We always spend Christmas at a family member's house so this tag will go on a lovely bottle of wine for the hostess.

The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions "Big Bold Christmas" stamp set.

This cheery tag will be posted to Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge and Christmas Card Challenges Anything Goes

The last week of the month is usually kind of slow for me and I have no appointments or meetings this week -- plenty of time to spend in my cave.  Have a great week!

First Christmas Card

Oh my - my first Christmas card of 2015.  Last year I participated in a weekly Christmas challenge, but I knew I would not have time this year and I have missed it.  So I thought I had better get started.

I wanted to enter the Can You Case It Challenge and Christmas Card Challenges -- two challenges with one card.  Fun!!

Here are three pictures of my card.  Love the Santa and folded card.  I will be making more of these to send to family and friends.  Wish I had saved the website with the card tutorial, but there are several available on the Internet or on Pinterest. 






Sorry about the blurry picture. 

Have a great weekend!

Paper Smooches Anything Goes

While going through Pinterest the other day,  I came upon this cute gift card holder.  I just purchased an envelope punch board and thought this card would be a perfect first project -- and I love the punch board!  Really easy to use with great directions, too.

So, I'll be posting the gift card holder to the Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes Challenge this week.



The little birdie, notes and 'how tweet of you' are from Paper Smooches My Peeps stamp set.  I added a little bling to the notes.  I just happen to have an i-tunes card to match the notes, too!
