Bottle Tag

by Kris Hankins



I often take a bottle of wine to someone as a thank you gift or hostess gift. I feel like something is missing when I present it to them, so I came up with these hanging bottle tags. They can be customized for birthdays, events/occasions, and for the seasons.

Instructions

• Cut a 3” x 8” piece of double-sided cardstock.
  I used a “flourish” print from Tim Holtz’s Shabby Vintage paper pad.
  (I love these new 36 sheet pads. They have such an assortment of fun papers).
  
  


• From the back, score the paper at 2 ½” from one end using your ScorIt.


• Round the corners of the tag using Zutters Round-It-All.
  Punch a 1 ½” hole centered in the top portion of tag. (After throwing away many cheaper corner rounders, I am so pleased with this rounder!
  It is sturdy and cuts through thick media like chipboard and thin metals… not just paper).
  
  


• Stamp the front corner of the tag with a “text” stamp using Adirondack denim ink.
  
  


• Over stamp the entire front of the tag with a “flourish” stamp using Brilliance Pearlescent Platinum Planet ink.
  This will leave a subtle, shimmering stamped image over the entire front of the tag.


• Cut a 2 ½” x 2 ½” square from standard white cardstock.
  Stamp “thank you” using Adirondack denim ink.
  Also over stamp this piece with the flourish stamp and Brilliance Pearlescent Platinum Planet ink.
  
  


• Cut a 3/4” x 5” strip of contrasting Tim Holtz Shabby Vintage paper.


• Gather up some clear “Dew Drops”.
  I found the easiest way to apply dew drops is to attach them directly to mini-glue dots while they are still on the roll/backing paper.
  
  


• To finish, glue contrasting strip of paper onto bottle tag.
  Adhere the sentiment to a layer of denim cardstock and glue onto face of bottle tag.
  Lastly, add the clear dew drops evenly down the strip of accent paper.
  
  

Now, take a “dressed up” bottle of wine to your next hostess.
