When giving someone a gift of wine, I think adding a special tag makes the gift so much more personal. I love making tags so today I wanted to show you a beautiful butterfly tag that would look great on a bottle of wine. It's very pretty and easy to make, adding a beautiful splash of color.
If you would like to order any of the items used to make this tag, just visit my Stampin' Up! Online Store today.
1) Sponge some color onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. I used Bermuda Bay and Blushing Bride ink. Then stamp the 2 largest butterflies from the Watercolor Wings photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark and emboss with Gold Embossing Powder.
2) Cut out the butterfly using the Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies.
3. Cut out two banners using the Banners Framelits Dies. Emboss the smaller one with the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Decorate it with a strip of Gold Glimmer Paper and a piece of a Delicate Doily. Stamp the Just for you and punch out with the Decorative Label punch and add to the banner tag, along with the butterfly.
4. Add a piece of Baker's Twine for hanging.

One of my favorite things in the Stampin' Up! 2015 Holiday Catalog is the Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies. You can make some very pretty cards with it when paired with the Happy Scenes photopolymer stamp set. However, even without the stamp set, you can create some great things.
Today's featured item is a darling luminary I first saw on Pinterest. I put my own spin on it by adding the cardinal to the front. Besides the Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies, it uses the Sleigh Ride Edgelits Dies. Both are a must have, in my opinion!
The luminary is made by cutting out 4 windows from Basic Black card stock. Then a thin strip of the same card stock is folded in half and used for adhering the windows together to form the box. Inside is a battery-operated tealight.

First of all, thank you all for the many prayers and show of support for my son Eric. He is still fighting a tough fight, and we are hoping to keep him out of the hospital until we can get him to see his new doctor on September 30th. Please continue to pray for him. And thank you for your patience as I took some time off to deal with the doctors and his care.
Back to stamping, though...Today's card features the Best Thoughts Hostess stamp set. I love flowers, as most of you know, so I was excited to see that this was a set you could get with a qualifying order or stamping party. And to make the set even better, there was a butterfly image included! Flowers and butterflies go together like bread and butter! If you would like more information on how to get this stamp set, email me at stamping@karenhaden.com today!

5. Stamp a piece of Whisper White card stock again with the flower image and color that image. Carefully cut it out and adhere over the flower on the front of the card, using with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Hi Stampers,
I may not be posting for a few days. Sometimes life gets in the way of our best plans and this is what is happening with me right now. As many of you know, I have a handicapped son who is not doing very well. Two weeks ago he had a very bad seizure and was rushed to the hospital because he aspirated. He spent a week in ICU and then was moved to a medical floor. After another week in the hospital, he is still not thriving. His physician and I talked at length this morning about the best way to proceed with Eric's care. He will need a surgery in order for him to be able to take nourishment and receive the many medications he is on. This will take place on Monday. I am arranging a care-giver to stay with my live-in 87-year old mother so that I can leave her to be with Eric. Thus, I need to put my stamping on hold this week. Please keep my son in your prayers and I hope to post some great projects again soon.
Be sure to check my Stampin' Up! Online Store on Tuesday morning to see the latest Stampin' Up! Weekly Deals.
Happy Stamping,
Karen
