Hello and Happy Sunday! It is hard to believe that Christmas is just TWO WEEKS away!! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing quick & easy hand-stamped gift ideas. Maybe I cheated a little, because technically I just bought the bottle of wine, but these hand-stamped bottle toppers give it just the right personal touch, am I right?
Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. If you love the Painted Christmas DSP as much as I do, hurry over and place an order while it is still available AND on sale! Unfortunately, the Handmade Wishes stamp set that I used on the front of my topper is no longer available. To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code QK2EEZND with your online order at checkout through December 30th).
This shows the back side of the bottle topper - I added a little strip of the DSP and a sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set. Just add your name and a short sentiment and you're done!
Here is a view of the full topper. I wanted to show you how I made it... the dimensions can be found below. These are super easy to make and you can get two from a single sheet of card stock. Mix and match two sheets of card stock and you can use the punched out pieces as a mat (like I did with this one).
Dimensions and instructions:
- Cut base card stock 11" x 3-1/8"
- Score at 4-1/2" and 7-1/2" on the long side
- Slide the decorative circle punch in the middle section and cut out the center - the sides of the punch should fit perfectly in between the score lines
- Front flap DSP 4-1/4" x 2-7/8"
- Back flap card stock 3-1/4" x 2-7/8"
The great thing about these toppers are that you can adjust the dimensions to accomodate the bottle and/or your punch for the center hole.
Here is another example of a topper using a different pattern from the DSP. These are fun and quick to make!
Here is one more view of both bottle toppers. I hope you give this a try! For even more handmade ornament ideas and inspiration, please be sure to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what Karla and Rachel created this week.
Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!
