More from Holiday Stamp Camp!

At my Annual Holiday Stamp Camp we make five  3-D projects that are perfect for gift giving or keeping for yourself.   One of the favorites was this decorated wine bottle.

Isn't this adorable??   I have wanted to do a wine bottle project for a long time…but never wanted to drill a hole in the bottle to add lights….until one of my Team Members…Sue Gosz showed me these awesome cork lights from Amazon!!! 

So easy!!!!  I was sold!
So onto the bottle!!  And as far as the bottles…..no I did not drink 35 bottles of Riesling Wine…although it may have been fun….I did get the bottles from a craft brewery online!!


Next…..You will need our Stampin’ Up! Multi Purpose Adhesive Sheets and our Stampin’ Up Sparlke Glimmer Paper.

         
MULTIPURPOSE ADHESIVE SHEETS
Price: $10.00   

SPARKLE GLIMMER PAPER
Price: $5.00
After I adhered the adhesive sheets to the back of the sparkle paper…I cut the sheets to 4 inches wide and everyone just needed one 4 x 12 inch piece.  And here are the directions…..

1.  Cut the bottom of the sheet to make a curvy snow hill….no wider than 2 inches.  Adhere to the bottle.
USING YOUR BIGSHOT…..ALWAYS CUT THE GLIMMER PAPER WITH ADHESIVE SHEETS FROM THE BACK SIDE….DO NOT CUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE GLIMMER PAPER ORYOU WILL HAVE A STICKY MESS!
2.  With the rest of the Sparkle paper……cut 3 trees from Winter Woods Framelits.
3.  Cut the 2 deer from the Dashing Deer Framelits.
4.  And using the rest of the Sparkle Paper cut as many snowflakes that you want with the Blizzard Framelits.  
5. Peel off the backing and adhere!!   Super easy and quick.




6.  Add a tag with our Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon.   Sentiment is from Merry Christmas to All. 


7.  Add the cork lights and enjoy or give as a gift and make someone happy!!   The pictures don’t do it justice!!


Hope you enjoy it!!  Check back tomorrow for another great project!!
