Hearts of Elegance Wine Bottle Tag

A bottle of wine (or a nice bottle of nonalcoholic sparkling water) makes a great gift throughout the year. But especially during the holiday season for host gifts at the holidays, for new year’s celebrations, and for special people on Valentine’s Day! Have fun dressing up that bottle with a handmade tag.

In today’s post, I share a wine bottle tag created for Valentine’s Day and one for Christmas. See this blog post for a tag designed for new year celebrations. The Valentine tag uses products from the Hearts of Elegance Suite Collection, including the Hearts of Elegance stamp set, Hearts of Elegance Dies, Marbled Elegance 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Paper, Gold Twisted Thread, and Adhesive-Backed Heart Sequins. Save 10 percent when you purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle. Find these online as part of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives offerings.

Reindeer Fun Gift Packaging

Stampin’ Up!’s Reindeer Fun Bundle offers lots of opportunity to create super cute handmade greeting cards. (Click here to see one post.) But, I’ve also made some adorable DIY gift packaging. By folding the bag and adding a decorative belly band, you create two pockets that allow you to include any number of small gift items. I added a hot chocolate packet, candy cane, and chocolate. But you could include a greeting card, gift card, other candy, etc.

Stampin' Up! Reindeer Fun Bundle

In today’s post, I share two versions of this fun gift packaging idea with you.

Measurements and Details

  • Flat paper sack measuring 7 1/2 x 5.
  • From the bottom, fold up approximately two inches.
  • Add a belly band measuring 12 x 2: Reindeer Days 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, creating a front pocket. I adhered the belly band in the front and covered it with the circle.
  • Stylish Shapes Die circle die cut with Real Red card stock and embossed with Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Powder.
  • Deer stamped with Early Espresso ink on Basic Beige card stock. Added harness with Real Red ink. Die cut with Reindeer Fun coordinating die.
  • Real Red & White Baker’s Twine

See another version below. I used the holly dies from the Reindeer Fun Dies with the Festive 12 x 12 Glimmer Paper and the Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper.

Pop-Up Gift Card Holder

I don’t know the official count of how many days are left until Christmas. But, I do know, I should start to prepare!

Gift cards have become popular present options. And, it’s nice to have a fun wrapping mechanism for them. A look at Pinterest shows so many gift card holders in an array of designs. Today, I show you one of those: a pop-up gift card holder.

Here’s what the inside looks like:

Here are a few measurements to help you get started:

  • Real Red card stock measuring 4 1/4 x 10, Score at 2, 5, 6, and 7, 1 inch x 7 inches
  • Designer Series Paper: two pieces measuring 1 3/4 x 4 and two pieces measuring 2 3/4 x 4. I used the Take a Bow 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
  • For the sentiment, I used the Season’s Greetings from the Greetings of the Season stamp set. I die cut it with a circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and layered it on Real Red and Garden Green circles.

Sentimental Christmas Book Treat Boxes

I really enjoy making little treat boxes and bags to give as class favors, party favors, and gifts to friends. Stampin’ Up! makes this easy with the array of products it offers. In today’s post, I use the Book Treat Boxes to make a gift card holder or candy holder.

Aren’t they super cute? They remind me of the Lifesaver holders from when I was a kid. Find these Book Treat Boxes in the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. The plain white design allows you to customize these any way you like. You receive 10 boxes for $10.

In today’s post, I share a cute box covered with Stampin’ Up!’s Sentimental Christmas 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.

Sentimental Christmas Book Treat Boxes

Measurements

Here are a few simple directions to help you get started:

  • Sentimental Christmas (or patterned paper of your choice) measuring 9 3/4 x 4 1/4
  • Sentimental Christmas image punched with 2 3/8″ circle punch
  • Pretty Peacock card stock die cut with circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (about 9″ to tie a bow)
  • Petal Pink and Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems
  • Self-adhesive Velcro dots

Imagine all of the ways these can be decorated with different papers, images, and embellishments.

Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper

This festive patterned paper features traditional holiday images: holly and berries, candles, snowflakes, candy canes, Christmas trees, and more! Fussy cut individual elements for quick accents. Or cut the lantern and candy cane paper into six pieces to make quick card fronts. This paper was hand-drawn in colored pencils for original designs you won’t find anywhere else.

In addition, with each purchase of the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3 to support children’s literacy around the world.
