So you’re down to the wire now and grabbing bottles of wine as gifts and wondering how to package them? How about a bottle tag? I CASEd this one from my ornament tag from last month.

These are easy to whip up – I know, I just made this one at 7am. A change in vacation plans means that today is the last day that I’ll see my boss this week. But it’s okay, I don’t think that Peter reads my blog so I’m not ruining the surprise. I cut a strip of whisper white card almost as wide as the bottle (almost 3 inches) and eight inches long. I scored it at 3 inches and cut a hole in the short piece with the circles framelits – how handy that the framelit can be used to measure how it fits over the bottle. I then embossed the longer end using the softly falling TIEF. Then out came my favourite sleigh ride edgelits again – I truly hope that you bought these because they are now retired – and some real red paper. For some reason (not awake yet perhaps?) I decided to put on the santa and his sleigh going from right to left, attached with dimensionals.

For the back, I stamped one of my favourite greetings from Flurry of Wishes in real red on a scrap piece of paper. Well, Merry seems most appropriate here, no?

I hope that this helps with your packaging. And I hope that Peter likes it.

Happy Birthday to Eimear, my sister’s upline and my surrogate one – they live in the UK and I’m in the US so we’re in different trees. But I’ve been adopted which is lovely. Oddly I thought I was adopted as a child since my siblings had intense ginger hair and mine was blonde. Logically, they should have been the adopted children since my hair was the exact same colour as my mother’s!

See you tomorrow,

Liz
