Rick was invited to a dinner party at his bosses house. Well….we all were invited, but only he went. He bought a wine bottle and asked me to make a thank you card for him.
I wrapped the bottle in Enchante Designer paper and made a 4″x4″ card to match. After snapping the picture I thought I should have used Artichoke cardstock instead of the Old Olive one for the scalloped circle.
For the paper wrap, I cut my designer paper down to 8″ x 9 1/2″. I added sticky strip on one 8″ side, wrapped it tight around the bottle and taped it down onto the other side of the paper. I then used the leftover 2 1/2″ x 10′ strip, flipped it over and taped it down on the first wrap. Lastly I added a white and green organdry ribbon and secured the card on it with a paper clip from the Aged Brass Hodgepodge Hardware kit.
Rick said it was a hit anyway! His boss is from New Orleans so Rick picked this stamp from the Carte Postale set for the center image. I used Pale Plum to ink up the stamp and added Perfect Plum around the edges. Then I sprayed it with my water mister and stamped it on vanilla cardstock. The card base is Perfect Plum cardstock stamped with Perfect Plum ink and the French Flair Background. I sponged the outside edges of the card. The saying is from Warmest Regard stamped in black Palette ink.
I hope Carte Postale and French Flair will be in the Fall/Winter catalog. Those sets are so pretty!!!
Mondays are always super busy for me. I am already on my fourth load of laundry, went to the post office (Julee…it’s in the mail already) and the bank, worked on SCS work and dusted the house. No stamping yet for me. I hope to get my fingers inky soon!

Absolutely beautiful! What a great gift idea.
This is beautiful. What a wonderful idea! How did you adhere the paper to the wine bottle? This would be perfect around the holidays. Thanks!
So beautiful. Is the paper just a sleeve that slips off of the bottle?
WOWSA! Gorgeous! What do men know about colors anyway? Did you tape it to the bottle, or make a sleeve? Love it.
