Gift a Bottle of Wine with a Wine Topper

Who does not like getting wine as gift? I mean apart from those of you who always make good choices in your life. I certainly like wine and if I am being particular the odd drop of champagne brings bubbly fun into my life. 
Imagine if you were to top that bottle with a homemade sentiment. I am sure that it would taste even sweeter and you would stand out from all the others who opted for the bottle bag  at the bottle shop checkout instead! 
I spent a bit of time creating this wine topper in "inkscape" and have it saved as a png file that you are able to access so that you too can join in the fun. I am still working on developing my skills so that I can create my very own SVG's based on my own drawings.
Here is my link to the .png files you can use as a template if you don’t have a cutting machine, or you can upload them to Cricut as a cut image – select complex /print image but make sure you remove any white background. You can then save to have on hand for all your future projects CLICK HERE 

If you want to see some examples of how to create you design then check out my latest YouTube video below.

Gifts for Teaching Friends

I got busy on the weekend and started putting together some gifts for Christmas. I am going the handmade and up cycle this Christmas rather than purchase even more crap from the shops that people don't want.
To make these I
-used a Kaiser craft wooden off the page book
-I took the five wooden pages and painted them up pink with a white paint wash
-I added some paper to size on the front
-The strip of paper I only glued at the back so that the postit pads could be replaced by just sliding the last couple of pages through.
-I stamped the names using an amazing script stamp set I purchased from Simon Says Stamp
-Added ribbon bow to the top and some bling strips from the $2 store

Wallah!! terrific gift for a teacher!

Christmas Wreath Project

I was at the craft shop one day and I bought about 5 foam wreaths and a shirtload of pins with the intention to create wreaths for everyone! Throwing them like Frisbees at my friends as gifts to bring joyful Christmassy goodness to the season. Needless to say they ended up in my cupboard until.... drum roll...... I saw a you tube video from stampinwithtami on how to make paper wreaths... well I was set......
Yep what a sinch!
Gathered all  my materials and got started.
Mmm hangon
This is beginning to look like a dogs breakfast.......

Indeedy doo I got about a quarter in then realised I would have to dismantle this baby and give it another go. In the end this is my finished project.
However I am going to share my tips with you should you wish to make the same journey without peril and a mouth like a sailor.

1. Invest in a quilling tool. This will enable you to keep skin on your fingers. I've heard the lyrics "play til your fingers bleed" whatever you do don't "craft til your fingers resemble a fried lobster!" They wont set you back more than a few dollars.


2. Curl from both ends to meet in the middle. That way you can from the middle without having to unroll. I like this tightly rolled Shirley Temple look reminded me of my nana after a perm job.
 
3. Layer two together as a cross. I also highly recommend the use of a small amount of glue on the underside before pinning as well. I was having a lot of trouble with the pins coming out as I made my way around the wreath and this made sure that everything stayed where it flippin well should of.
 

4. I started in the middle of the wreath,. Went all the way around in a circle then began another row until I filled it all in. I ended up only using three double sided pieces of 12x12 cardstock that I had cut into 1cm strips. This is a smaller decofoam shape the size being 200mm (30mm thick).

And there you have it... finally a project in completion... until I finish the others of course LOL

I have also included the video where I got the idea from below

Its getting to that time of the year again when I need to start thinking about gift ideas for everyone. Stampin up® have some great little boxes that you can purchase to decorate or you can create your own from scratch. I quite like these and had to share.

Butterfly Frame

Only got to play a little bit with some products on the weekend. I created this little frame using the Flight of the Butterfly stamp kit and the brights pattern stack. I cut around the stamped butterflies and added some glitter and gloss :) The frame was from the $2 shop and I white washed it with acrylic paint. Quite like how it turned out :)
