Hearts of Elegance Birthday

Even though Stampin’ Up!’s Hearts of Elegance Bundle is perfect for those Valentine and love-themed cards, I also think it’s great for all-occasion, card-making projects. Find this bundle as part of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives.

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.
