Hi all, today I have a creation for the Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop. This week, the Design Team have been asked to create something using a Scor-Pal - I have used my trusty Martha Stewart scoring board!
I have made a Christmas wine bottle wrapper - we do tend to give gifts of whisky and other spirits for Christmas, so I think I will be making a few more of these, so much cheaper than buying ready made ones!
To recreate this bottle holder you will need to start with some sturdy 12 x 12 card.
Then using the bone folder, score at 2 1/2 ", 5 1/2 ", 8", and 11".
Turn the card 90' and score along 21/2" to create the bottom folds.
Fold along all score lines, and snip the folds along the bottom as shown:
Add some sturdy scor-tapealong the edges. My boo-boo - I added tape to the fourth bottom panel on the right hand side - this will be the base of your wine holder, so try not to do this1 However, I just added a piece of patterned paper to the bottom, so it worked out ok!
After assembling, this is what you should end up with!
so, now you can decorate your holder in any way you wish! I chose to go with a christmas theme, and taking some Real Red Stampin' Up! card, I stamped the beautiful snowflake flourishes and embossed with Stampendous Aged Silver powder.
I added a tag stamped with Tis The Season in Cottage Ivy ink onto some Naturals ivory card, and sponged around the edges with Sahara Sand ink. Added some little red gems for a bit of sparkle and a large gold wired bow.
The snowflakes really shine, and have a beautiful aged effect with this embossing powder, to which I also added some clear gems for a bit more sparkle!
I cut a handle using some of the patterned paper and some of the green for a mat, and attached using some pearly brads and lots of adhesive!
It's surprisingly strong!

I like making tags for the wine bottles, bur this is a nice switch-up and it comes just in time since I have a birthday gathering to attend on Friday. I was already prepared to bring a bottle of wine. As always, there's plenty of inspration over here.
