Boozy Wine bottle.. BUGALOO DIGI STAMPS



Morning All out in Crafty land

 

Today has started well by finding out I'm a C.R.A.F.T. Winner over at the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge blog and soon I will be receiving 4 free Ribbon Spools from Fantastic Ribbons Good times !!

 

 If you would like to be in with a chance of winning a Prize why not pop over there and check out this weeks Challenge and while you're at it don't forget to look in on Tuesday Alchemy's Challenge too. Two really good Challenge blogs worth a visit...

 

In today's project I've used a Bugaloo Design. I had a lot to choose from and you will be seeing more of them later but for now I think I will stick to using this one with a Christmas theme and do something appropriate for the season.

This boozy lush is JJ , and the digi stamp is called 'JJchristmas- cheers' I wonder if she is based on a real person,  anyway it seemed the right thing to do to put her on a wine bottle Sleeve.

 Its the easiest thing to make and looks cool if you are giving a bottle as a gift, This bottle will be consumed later in the evening as I'm told a glass of wine a day is good for you (I'm up to December 12th 2014 so far !!!)
It's also supposed to help with the odd headache but by the look on JJ's face, its gonna give her a major one in the morning.


 Boozy Wine Bottle Sleeve

You will need:
Red Card
HunkyDory Polka dot Patterned card
HunkyDory snowflake Patterned Red card
JJ Christmas- Cheers digi Stamp
Spectrum Noirs
Spellbinders Floral Oval Die set
Double sided tape
polka dot Acetate
Glitter
Silk Flowers
Sentiment
Red and Gold ribbon

Step 1
Take a piece of A4 Red card and cut  so it is 15cm x 29cm. put it on your Hougie board if you have one in a landscrape position and score at 7cm,14cm 21cm and 28cm you will have 1 cm left which will be your 'lip' to stick it together with

Step 2

Cut an aperture in the first panel this is where the design is going to cover. Colour your digi image and cut out I used Spectrum Noirs Red DR5 for the bow,straw and berries, the dress and holly leaves were Green DG3, DG2, CG2, the boots were DG3 and the glass and her hair were CT3 and OR1. The flesh i.e the face, arms and legs were a combination of Pro-markers satin , Putty and Almond.  You will find her on the Bugaloo website under sassy girls and my my, isn't she just that!!

Step 3

 Cut a 9cm square in red card and score at 1cm on all four sides, once that is done cut a tag out of the corners so you can later fold and stick to make the top of the bottle sleeve cover. It will form the top of the sleeve and will slide over your folded box/rectangle box shape sleeve when you have decorated the front.  Cut an aperture in the middle of your square for the neck of the bottle to slide into, don't be mean with the size of the hole you don't want it to get stuck half way up. I used a 4 cm die on mine from the spellbinders set  Sprightly Spockets'  but a plain Circle cut out or hole punch will do as long as its in the middle. Save the cut out from the sleeve top and you can mount your sentiment on it later ....

Step 4

 using your Spellbinders Floral Oval Dies cut 1 medium and 1 large diecut from the 2 patterned cards. Cut out the centre of the smallest diecut using the dots around the oval as a guide  Take smallest metal die (not paper diecut ) and cut an aperture in the larger die, fit smallest diecut into largest diecut and back with Acetate, ,As Alexander meerkat would say 'SIMPLES! 

 Step 5

 Fold Red card into rectangle shape and stick down lip and then add lid and stick on , Decorate with some double sided tape wrapped round the box top and bottom and then cover with glitter , add some silk flowers in the corner and a sentiment at the top and you are finished.

I also thought it would be nice to make a matching card to accompany the wine sleeve

The centre design is the same with an aperture in the middle of the card but I decided to change the colours a little on the back ground . The gold star paper is from the HunkyDory range, I believe this one (as where the 2 patterned cards above) were  found in a paper set that came free with their magazine. and the corners are some old favourites I use a lot from the Marianne Designs dies Range. The Sentiment in the left hand corner is also HunkyDory.
 

 

 All you need to do now is put it on your bottle and tie some ribbon round the lid of the bottle to make it that perfect gift for the perfect host or you could just stay indoors in the warm by the fire and admire your handy work as you polish off the bottle , don't forget DRINK RESPONSIBLY AND NEVER ALONE XX
