Introducing Uncorked...

Today we are introducing the new Uncorked stamps, dies and the Uncorked Word Dies by Papertrey Ink, perfect for those upcoming parties you may be attending! First, I made a quick wine bottle tag.

The tag is cut with the Wine Bottle Tag die. Then I used the Uncorked stamps and the Keep It Simple: New Year stamps. "Cheers" is cut out with the Uncorked Word Dies. 

The little dimensional star was made by cutting the new Small Sketched Stars from gold cardstock and layering them, offsetting the points in each star.

The gold twine was from Michaels, and it's wired, so you can actually tie it around the wine bottle and wrap the ends around a pencil to create the fun twirls in the twine. It will stay however you put it. Fun and festive!

Next is a card made with Uncorked and the Uncorked Word Dies again. I used the Wine Bottle Tag die again, but used it upside down and trimmed off the banner part. The polkadots are stamped with Polka Dot Basics III in the background.

Quick and easy.

Also, if you want to dress up the inside of the card for a December birthday, you could do something like this with the new Birthday Classics: December stamps. Today's post would go really well with THIS little card set that I made previously! :)

Getting the most out of your kits...

I have a little tutorial up over at Gossamer Blue! When playing with the September kit, I discovered something fun you can do with these pretty Solstice stickers.

Of course you can use them as is, and they are gorgeous! But I had started a project that had a lot of gold on it already, and when I went to add more gold stickers, I felt like they were getting lost in the design. So...I discovered that you can flip them over, peel off the backing and add color to the back of them! You can watercolor them, paint them, or even add embossing powder and heat emboss them!

The background of my card was watercolored with gray paint splashes, and then I began assembling my card with the main Sept. kit contents. I layered a polkadot clear tag over the Crate Paper peach sticker and added the "And" ephemera piece. The gold medallion was tucked under the "And" piece.

Last, I added some sewing machine thread, one of my watercolor heart stickers I made and a cork heart. The striped tab was tucked under the left edge.

You can send this as a card, or even use it in your project life pages as a decorative card with your photos.  Stop over to Gossamer Blue to see the finished result!
