Autumn wine tag with Wine Blueprints by Tim Holtz

Hello everyone, I'm here with a wine tag that I made for our September challenge where the lovely Debs chose the theme and will be your host. The theme is: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness the first line of Ode to Autumn by John Keats. So we would like to see projects with autumn colours, fruits, flowers, anything which reminds you of early autumn.

For me early autumn remind me of grape and wine making. So I made a wine tag with Tim Holtz Wine Blueprints stamp sets, the big and the small one.

For making this tag, I cut out a wine tag shape with MFT Wine Tag Die-Namics from Neenah Desert Storm paper. I stamped the image of the bottle, I masked it and then I stamped the grape. The text is from a Penny Black stamp set, called Autumn Splendor.

First I coloured the images with Copic Sketch markers, then I continued with pencil colouring.

In the end I splattered my tag with brown ink (Walnut Stain Spray Stain). I also inked the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress ink.

So if you have an autumn project, please don't hesitate to join our September challenge where a randomly selected winner can have a £20 voucher in the Country View Craft Shop.

Halloween wine tag with spiderweb and skull

Okay, I promise this is my last wine tag in this Halloween season! No more until next year!

The tag was cut out with an MFT-Die Namics Wine Tag die. I really love the shape and the size of this die.

Then I stamped and heat embossed the spiderweb from Tim Holtz Webs&Damask stamp set. After I blended Distress inks onto the tag, Bundled Sage and then Peeled Paint. But then I wanted to make the colours more vivid, so I also added Twisted Citron.

The edges were inked with Gathered Twigs and Black Soot.

I cut out the skull from 300gsm watercolour paper and then I put Gritt Paste on the surface. When it was dry I smudged it with diluted paints and Distress Crayon. And fussy cut a background paper to place behind the skull. This paper is a retired Kraft-Core paper and as you can see, I sanded a little bit.

The bone was cut into two pieces, because it was easier for me to put it on the tag.

I put double-sided adhesive the back of the bones and skull and I started to adhere them to the tag.

Purple wine tag with Jack-O-Lantern

And I'm here again with another wine tag. 

This was the first time I used Tim Holtz Layered Jack-O-Lantern Thinlits die, although I have got this for ages.

I coloured the pieces with Distress inks using the markers and the ink pads. For the first layer, I used Rusty Hinge, then Vintage Photo and because I didn't find it dark enough I added Walnut Stain. The second layer was Rusty Hinge, and I added Vintage Photo to the edges. The third layer was coloured with Spiced Marmelade and I inked the edges with Vintage Photo. The little pieces around the eyes and mouth were coloured with Wild Honey. And every layer was sealed with Distress Resist Spray. Although I've already told it here, I never spray the Resist Liquid directly to my project. I always spray to a plastic sheet and then I add this liquid with a sponge using tapping movement.

I glued them together with Matte Ranger Collage Medium.  

For the background, you can find the tutorial, here.

Tag with wine blueprints by Tim Holtz

After the beer tag, I'm here again with a wine tag. The technique is quite similar to the beer tag but here I used the Schmincke masking fluid to cover the stamped and coloured images instead of masking paper.

And here I printed a real wine label instead of handwriting. Now it was really tricky to reduce the wine label to the exact size of the stamped label. It was a Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine label that I reduced, cut out and glued to the bottle.

Here is an image of covering the grape with Schmincke masking fluid:

And like my beer tag, it's not two tags but the two sides of the same chipboard tag.

Card with wine blueprints by Tim Holtz

I have a friend whose husband loves wine. But he not just loves them he knows them, he is quite an expert. So lately he started his own business, selling fine Hungarian wines in Luxembourg. The name of his online shop: BOROMIDD (it means: drink my wine!).

So I made a card for him:

Do what you love, love what you do - this is really him.

Now, this should be the place of a detailed tutorial, but this time you can find it on the Country View Crafts blog.


I hope you like it! Thanks so much for stopping by! xx
