I had so much fun designing with this new set of stamps, I couldn’t stop at just one card! My first card above started with a purple card base and a white top folding piece with a hole punched in the front. I masked the same hole shape on the inside, sponged with purple distress ink and stamped the Happy Hour sentiment. The wine glasses were stamped on grey and again on purple, and I paper pieced the grape wine. I stamped the corks on cork paper and cut out. I love how the sentiments in this set are just perfect for wine lovers with a sense of humor!

My second card features the bottle of wine, wine label, small glass of wine and corks from the Wine Time set. I did my usual paper piecing and embossed the bottom half of the front with a Happy Birthday embossing folder. The strip with the brad on the side opens to reveal the perfect sentiment for the birthday girl: 

Did you guess my letter? I highlighted it several times. My letter is I.

Have fun blog hopping and collecting the letters and good luck on the prize draw!

I am entering these cards in the Anything Goes challenges at Simon Says Stamp,  613 Avenue Create and Through The Craft Room Door.
