Fall Wine Tags

I update my Etsy shop for fall and made pumpkin shaped wine tags.  Just like the others, they are laminated and are reusable.  I include a dry erase marker to write your name on the tag, and when the party is over you can wipe it off and reuse the tag at your next gathering!


Party Favor Tags

My sister asked me to make tags for party favors for my niece's 4th birthday.  I committed the cardinal crafting sin and didn't take a picture of the finished product, but they are almost finished in this photo.  I punched a hole in the top and added curing ribbon to tie on the favors. They came out adorable and were easy to make.

Admit Two

A good friend and her boyfriend just moved in together and I made this this "admit two" ticket drop box for their new apartment.  They can drop tickets to concerts, movies, and other adventures in the box and remember the good times when they look at the tickets collected.  I used the Cricut to cut the tickets and letters, and the cuttlebug to emboss the little tickets at the bottom to give them some texture. I sawed a slit in the top to drop the tickets in, it was a lot of work but worth it. I love the finished product and so do they, when I came back to take a picture they had already dropped movie tickets in it!


Monogram Wall Decal

I made a monogram wall decal for one of my favorite friend's housewarming gift.  Her initials are NLF, but in monogram format it comes out to NFL :)

Mommy's Birthday Card

This year I had to send my mom her bday card instead of handing it to her, so I wanted to make it extra pretty.. unfortunately the butterfly wings were smooshed flat when she received it.  I'm loving my Cuttlebug, but lesson learned- don't try to write on embossed paper! It looks like crap.

Embossed Birthday Card

UPDATED 7/25/12

I just got a Cuttlebug machine (an embosser) and I am OBSESSED. I now have completed the trifecta of paper crafting: Cricut, Cuttlebug, and Xyron sticker machine.  This is my first card using the Cuttlebug. The green polka dot, pink "happy birthday", and pink inside are all embossed with different templates.




I finally finished the card- I am giving two bottles of Dreaming Tree wine (Dave Matthews' wine) so I decided to include a favorite DMB quote in the card, as well as make wine bottle tags with DMB quotes to tie around the bottle necks.
