The bulk of the holiday celebrations are behind us. Perhaps you finished your handmade Christmas cards. Perhaps you didn’t. Either way, have you thought about sending a new year’s card? I’m thinking you could design, create, and send these well into the month of January. I know I have and plan to!
In addition, I modeled the card layout using the sketches on page 22 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. This great layout works with a variety of stamp sets, papers, and sentiments. Be sure to look for other samples below.

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.
