Make a Vintage Wine & Barrel Card Full of Encouragement

It’s not good to keep things bottled up; wine or other things. This fabulous encouragement card is just the thing to cheer someone up.

Any wine lovers out there? Today our designer, Maurilia, created a vintage wine & barrel card full of encouragement! Maurilia said, “I’ve been wanting to use this lovely wooden barrel for a while now and I thought it paired well with wine of course!” We love how this turned out. Follow along to recreate this beautiful design in your own craft room.

Die cut off white paper using 5708-01D Wood Plank Panel Die to create your back ground. Die cut the outer most scallop die from a tan paper using the soon to be released 5924D Rectangle Combo 6 OPC Die.
Die cut the barrel using kraft card stock from 5708-04D Wooden Barrel and Crate Die. Shade all the pieces using shades of brown Distress Oxides.
Die cut the wine bottle and wine from a maroon color paper. Use kraft stock in tow light colors to for the label, the cap and the wrapper. Use vellum paper for the wine glass. Adhere all pieces together.
Die cut greenry from dark green using 5709-05D Spring Greenery 4 Die .
Use a light piece of tan cardstock as the background. Use the script stamp in 3006 Splatter Stains Stamp and stamp all over the background using Distress Oxide in Vintage Photo. I was seeking a subtle look so once the stamp was inked I stamped on scrap paper first and then used the second generation ink stamp onto my tan panel. This technique will create a subtle vintage background. Use this same technigue for the wine bottle label.
Use the second to smallest die in 5903D Victorian Label Nested Dies for your sentiment using 3428 Cheers Stamp Set in Distress Oxide Aged Mohogany ink.
Lastly assemble your card on a folded card base. Adhere the Vintage script tan panel. Next adhere the off-white wood plank panel. Apply foam to the scallop rectangle frame for dimension. Trim the barrel at the bottom and tuck in the lower right corner of the frame. Tuck the wine bottle and wine glass in the wooden barrel top slit. decorate with greenery. Adhere the wine sentiment on the top left corner.
I usually like to add a little something to the inside of my cards. Usually it is leftover die cuts that I place inside. Here I took the inside of the wine glass in vellum and added the wine in maroon and some greenery behind the glass. Choose another sentiment from 3428 Cheers Stamp Set.
