We are counting down the days to Christmas and our 12 Days of Crafting Challenge. One of my favorite things to do when I set my table for Christmas dinner is to include a small gift at each place setting especially when I have children at the table.

My project for day 10 serves two purposes. First it contains a stocking stuffer type gift and it is also a place card. I used a premade white gift box 2.5x 2.5 inches as I bought a whole package of these from Amazon several years ago. I kept the box simple by just wrapping a strip of silver metallic card stock around three sides. For the poinsettia top I used the cut files from the Simply Winter set. Two petal pieces were cut from cherry kisses (true red) cardstock, one from honeysuckle (pinkish red) and the leaves from silver metallic cardstock. After assembling together I added a few highlights with a Copic marker (R49) and splattered a white paint mixture randomly onto it with a wet paintbrush. An enamel dot provided the center.

For the place card portion I printed the sentiment from the Snowy Sayings Digi set onto textured cardstock and then cut with a tag die. After cutting a second tag from the same silver metallic cardstock used before, I offset and attached to the poinsettia.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…..Nancy here to share my crafting project for Day 7 of our 12 Days of Crafting Challenge.  One of my favorite neighbor and hostess gifts to give is a bottle of wine so I decided to create a wine tag. I plan on doing several of these so my design needed to be easy to replicate.

I used the Every Day Tags and Simply Winter Cutables along with the Snowy Sayings Digi.

When cutting the tag I eliminated the tag hole so I could cut one big enough to insert over my bottle with a circle die. Note the mountain folder between the circle and the rest of the tag.

I then cut the holly and berries from the Simply Winter Cutables from patterned cardstock and attached with a bit of glue and foam dimensionals.

After placing the tag on the bottle of wine, I wrapped festive colored ribbon around the top of the bottle several times ending in a bow.

Now it’s your turn to create a wine/tea/coffee/cider holder or tag! I can’t wait to see your ideas! Play along by adding your projects to the inlinkz button at the bottom of the challenge. You could win a $20 store credit to The Cat’s Pajamas. You’ll have until December 26 to play along.
