Here is a wine bottle shaped card that I have made using an Arty Farty template. The "air was a bit blue" at times as no matter how hard you try with a template you cannot get it 100% correct from one side to another so it was a case of taking bits off here and there. That's where die shapes come in as they are 100% correct every time but with this card being A4 in height I dread to think how much a die like that would cost.
For the toppers, backing paper and sentiments I have used my Katy Sue Designs "The Wine Buffs" CD. It took a while to pick what toppers I wanted but I got there in the end.
On the CD I found some "50" balloons so I printed them off and added some twine for the string.
I made myself a bottle tag by printing out a topper to use, die-cut a circle opening and then put it through a Crafter's Companion large dots embossing folder.
This card took me two days on-and-off to make. I sneaked some "50" confetti that I used my "50" die from Joanna Sheen with some scraps of card and hey presto there is confetti everywhere that you don't have to pick up!!
