Personalised Wedding Bottle Tag

Morning Crafters,

Another Wedding style blog for you all today from Wenche Jensen with this beautiful bottle cover. Such a great idea to add a personal touch to a gift for the Bride and Groom.

Items used:

Creative Expressions Teresa Collins 8'' x 8'' Paper Pad CRE8X8

Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Paste Frosty Dawn CSPASTSPFROST

Dazzler Aqua Collection 8mm and 12mm 32 Embellishments DAZMIXAQUA

Craft Dies by Sue Wilson - Frames Tags Collection - Pierced Flags CED4304

Frames and Tags Collection Maggie CED4315

Frames and Tags Collection – Tessa CED4308

Shadow Box Collection - Mr and Mrs CED9304

How to Create a Personalised Paper Bottle Cover:

I die cut out all the parts I need. Almost like a puzzle ;-)

I want some extra sparkle on my project, so I use a stencil and Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Paste on the circle.

While the Glitter Paste dries, I can assemble the other parts. I fold the banner so that the length suit ok to bottle then I will hang the decoration on. This I stapled to the doily and paste on a Dazzler embellishment to hide pin. I choose to use a pin to be certain it would stay together.

I staple the Banner Die Cut, and hide again using a Dazzler.

When the Glitter Paste is dry I mount the circle onto the doilie with 3D adhesive pads, for some dimension.

The text and hearts are die cut from white foam, to give more definition

I hope you enjoyed this blog and I have given you some wedding inspiration for your big day or a friends.

How to Make a Elegant Wedding Guest Book

Step 1. Prepare the MDF elements by priming them with a 2 coats of gesso. Allow to dry properly between layers.

Step 2. Stamp multiple images of the two smallest Filigree Peony stamps, using Colour Cloud Ocean blue. Use the corresponding Perfect Peony dies to cut out the flowers.

Step 3. Take a ball ended tool to shape the flowers. Work onto a soft surface, like Phil Martins stamping mat, and moving the tool in circular movements in the centre of the flower. Add self-adhesive flat backed pearls to the centre of each bloom.

Step 4. When the gesso is dry, begin applying Colour Cloud Ink to the MDF cover. Use the smoothie sponges to apply the colour. Either in a dabbing or circular motion, depending on the preferred finish. Allow to dry thoroughly.

Step 5. Apply sparkle texture paste through the heart cluster mini stencil, as a backdrop for the MDF embellishments.

Step 6. Extend the texture paste through a portion of the stencil further up the page. Allow to dry.

Step 7. Use Colour Cloud ink and gilding wax to colour tint the MDF elements. Accent areas with Cosmic Shimmer glitter jewels. When dry fix onto the stencilled area of the book cover.

Step 8. Use silicone glue gel to apply the stamped flowers around the MDF shapes, ‘catching’ short lengths of ribbon and loops among the petals.

Step 9. Using Cosmic Shimmer Glue fix all your items onto the front to create this simple elegant Wedding Guest book.
