Happy Holidays, Crafty Friends! As we find ourselves in the midst of festive celebrations (and perhaps a few cocktails!), let’s raise a glass to creativity! Unity is joining the fun with two delightful new stamp sets: "Pour Decisions Background" and "Corks & Giggles." So, pop the tops off your Copics, and let’s make some colorful crafting decisions!
Coloring Tips for Wine Bottle Fun:
I turned to images of wine bottles for inspiration and recommend focusing on one bottle at a time for ease. Feel free to look up colors from your favorite wines—or the recipient’s!
Bottle Colors:
Greens & Blues: G07, B26, YG97
Yellows & Reds: Y11, R02, R21, R89, Y26
Once colored, I used C1 to create subtle shadows on the left side of each bottle, adding depth and dimension. For a finishing touch, I blended Hickory Smoke Distress Ink around the edges, drawing attention to the center.
Crafting the Perfect Card:
Trim your artwork to 4" x 5.25" and prepare a black mat at 4.125" x 5.375".
Stamp a fun sentiment from the "Corks & Giggles" set on white cardstock. Use the Scallop & Stitched Sentiment Dies to cut it out.
Die cut a black version of the same shape from the middle of your mat (no one will see this part—waste not, want not!). Layer the white sentiment over the black, punch a hole, and secure with an eyelet using a Crop-a-Dile. String ribbon or twine through the hole for a festive touch.
Adhere the sentiment with foam tape, layer everything onto your card base, and voilà—a Wine in a Million card!
Supplies Used:
Pour Decisions Background Stamp
Corks & Giggles Stamp Set
Scallop & Stitched Sentiment Diess
As we wrap up this year, I want to thank you for crafting along with me. It’s been an absolute joy to create and inspire together, and I look forward to more creative adventures in the coming year.
Wishing you a wonderful start to the new year! Until next time... Happy Crafting!
