Cut out the tags, regular scissors will do the job. Make sure you get all the white out.

free-printable-wine-tags-1Time to cut out the holes, I have a little trick to share below.

 

 

free-printable-wine-tags-13This might be just too basic, but YES, there was a time when I would almost injure myself not knowing this trick… Make a hole with a single hole punch BEFORE cutting out the hole with scissors. Trust me on this.

free-printable-wine-tags-12Almost done 🙂 Try them on your wine bottle to see approximately where to fold the tags.

free-printable-wine-tags-2Using a ruler (or just something straight) slightly bend the tag to make a fold. Don’t fold it all the way over, the paper fibers and color might break, and make an ugly fold.

free-printable-wine-tags-11If you want to personalize your gift further you can add name tags. I folded paper in two, wrote the names and cut it for these super-fast name tags. Make holes and add string or ribbon of your choice.

free-printable-wine-tags-4And we are DONE! Simple as that, personal and cute gift for the hostess with the mostest! Hope you enjoy.

Illustration Friday: Animal

November 17th, 2015 | Posted by Caroline in Illustration | Illustration Friday - (4 Comments)

I can’t believe I had so much trouble picking the animal for this challenge. All of my sketches and doodles are always involving some kind of animal, but now that the subject actually was “animal” it got tricky… I finally went with whale, but we all know that there are a bunch of (really cute) whale illustrations and art out there, I thought I’d pick a slightly different scenery this time. Whales are such mysterious and profound beings, and just so we are all clear, this is just a whimsical illustration. Whales should always be free (all animals should). Take care everyone!

I kept playing around with the illustration I created on the theme Whimsical last week. I thought they’d be really cute as greeting cards and pattern.

We made some cookies today and they all ended up having eyes. Just couldn’t help myself enhancing their features…

Free iphone backgrounds

November 14th, 2015 | Posted by Caroline in Free stuff | Illustration - (4 Comments)

These iphone backgrounds are probably two years old, and I remember sharing them on my old blog paired with one of my monthly backgrounds. But I think they still work, and with the holiday season fast approaching I think they should see the light of day once more. I hope you like them!
