I used the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper and Celebration Tidings Bundle to pile on the layers for this simple Christmas card. I love the basic patterns and classic Christmas colors in the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper. *One side is red and the other side is green. This paper is not just for Christmas!Stampin' Up!

Nothing’s Better Than… Something To Wine About

I don’t like to “whine” but this tag is something to wine about! It was so much fun to make and it was quick & easy! I recently visited my sister and made this tag to go with her hostess gift.

Stampin' Up! Nothing's Better Than Bundle and Celebration Labels Dies wine tag idea - Great hostess gift idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The tag is made with the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle and Celebration Labels Dies. I love both these bundles! Here’s a look at everything you get with the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle. I love all the word dies!

I am featuring the Celebration Tidings Bundle in my free tutorials this month. Check out my Just Stampin’ Rewards below! The dies and stamp set are so versatile and I have used them for so many projects already.

Here’s a close up of the tag:

Stampin' Up! Nothing's Better Than Bundle and Celebration Labels Dies wine tag idea - Great hostess gift idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

This tag is pretty self-explanatory to make; however, here’s a few tips:

  • Use the Adhesive Sheets (found on page 162 in the Annual Catalog) #152334 when die cutting the word dies. These make is so easy to adhere!!!
  • To get the different shades in the glasses I stamped off the Merry Merlot ink for the second glass and used a sponge dauber to add a little Crushed Curry on the back of the stamp.
  • I cut both the DSP and Merry Merlot cardstock with the same size die then just trimmed outside the stitched edges on the DSP for a thin border to keep the size in proportion with the bottle.
  • Punch two holes at the top of the tag with a 1/8″ hole punch. It is easy to loop the ribbon around the bottle of wine and thread through the holes to tie a bow. I absolutely LOVE this white faux linen ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack!!!
  • Check out the full product list below for everything I used to create this tag!

I often give a bottle of wine as a hostess gift and this steps it up a bit. My sister and I enjoy making wine slushies (aka adult juice). They are easy to make. Usually I get the mixes every year at a local craft show but this year it was cancelled due to the pandemic. However, my wonderful neighbor found where we can order them online. There’s many different flavors! (My favorite is the pomegranate mix.) Here’s the link if you want to give these a try!

Celebration Tidings Halloween Treats

Halloween is certainly going to be different this year.  Our small town usually has a huge Mummers Day Parade but due to the pandemic it is cancelled this year. I am happy that we are still planning to celebrate Halloween for the kids in our neighborhood and everyone is asked to follow certain guidelines. We will set up a table outside with treats so when kids trick-or-treat (socially distanced) they can pick up individually wrapped packages and not have to ring doorbells or have face to face contact to get their treat. I always love to see the kid’s costumes each year so I’m planning to sit outside (socially distanced) from the table so I’ll still be able to say hi to everyone!  I want to make it extra special for the kids this year so I am starting early to make a variety of treats so even those with allergies will have something to enjoy.

I used the Celebration Tidings Bundle. (I can’t stop playing with this set!!) The stamp set has you covered for several holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day) or any occasion using the “Just For You” sentiment. The 5 Layering Dies make it perfect for all size treats and more!

The Stampin’ Up! clear envelopes work great for packaging treats! Stampin' Up! Celebration Tidings tags for Halloween ideas - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper to create the tag toppers for these. Simply cut out the DSP with the die, then line up the notches in the Paper Trimmer and score down the middle. Fold over the clear envelope and adhere with a few glue dots. You can easily open the envelope on the back without having to remove the tag topper. I used the smallest die for the sentiment layer. I love how the spider and bat coordinate with the DSP. The sentiment and spider are from the Celebrations Tidings stamp set and the bat is from Banner Year stamp set.

For a non chocolate Halloween treat I bought a big box of assorted chips.  I had fun decorating these! *You could put these fun bags to put in your child’s lunchbox for a special surprise!

I used the two largest dies for the tag toppers on these. I love how the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Papers coordinate with the chips! The second smallest die was perfect for the added sentiment layer. I cut the DSP and white tags in half to get double from each die cut piece!

The Celebration Tidings Bundle is so versatile! The dies can be used as tag toppers, card fronts, and more! You can see more projects I created with this bundle HERE or HERE.
