HOW TO GIFT WRAP WINE BOTTLES

Today is my Stamp It Demonstrator’s Group Valentines Day Theme Blog Hop. We’re all really excited to unveil our projects (like How to gift wrap a wine bottle), and announce a new contest giveaway. To continue on your journey through our projects, simply use the BLOG HOPPERS links below.

My Valentine's Day blog hop project is part 3 in my series of Twisted Gatefold Fun Fold cards. I used the Stampin' Up Floral Heart Dies combined with the Simply Marbleous Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper. I added a little bit of fun by adding a "window" in the silver heart card.

Learn how to make these cards in my video.

Twisted Gatefold Series Part 2: Daffodil Afternoon

Daffodil Afternoon Twisted Gatefold - Part 2

Twist & Shout! Today's segment in my Twisted Gatefold series features 2 stunning cards created with the Stampin' Up Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper that is available during Sale-a-bration. This paper is just to die for! I combined the paper with it's coordinating Daffodil Daydream bundle.

I used the "Easter Blessings" greeting from the stamp set, but these would make great designs for any occasion. Simply by changing the greeting you can make these birthday, celebration, wedding, congratulations and more.

Twisted Gatefold Series Part 1: Sparkly Bouquet of Love

Sparkly Bouquet of Love Twisted Gatefold - Part 1

Let's get twisted! This is the first in a series of stunning fun fold cards featuring the Twisted Gatefold. This card was designed with the Stampin' Up Bouquet of Love 3D Hybrid Folder and Supple Shimmer Specialty paper. This card twists open uniquely to reveal a special greeting.

Inside I used the "To the one I love" words from the Love & Happiness Stamp set. I've created a custom coordinating envelope to gift it in.

CARDS
I really liked the designs printed on the inside of the envelopes that came in the kit. Why hide them? I took the envelopes apart and turned them into backgrounds. While I'm going outside the box, how about turning eggs into flowers? And who doesn't love google eyes?

I have printable instructions and more photos and ideas below.

December 2021 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives – Part 1

LOTS OF PUN ALTERNATIVE CARDS - PART 1 of 2

The December 2021 Lots of Puns Paper Pumpkin card kit is full of fun and witty sayings that are sure to make you smile. I wanted to go outside the "Paper Pumpkin Box" and do something completely different. I took the "egg" image from the Lots of Puns stamp set and turned it into a flower. You can improvise with another outline flower stamp set to achieve a similar look.

I have printable instructions and photos below.

This is part 1 of my 2 part series of alternate cards from the December kit. I'll be sharing part 2 tomorrow as part of our PPX blog hop.
