Warmest Wishes & Christmas Cheer

Isn't this a nice sentiment?  warmest wishes & Christmas cheer - love it.  And such perfect thoughts to put on a tag for a holiday wine gift!

The red plaid card stock is from my box of scraps.  This tag measures about 2 1/2" x 7" so not much paper or card stock was needed.   After cutting the tag, I ran the card stock through my Big Shot using a scalloped circle to make the hole for the wine bottle.  Then I added a pretty green ribbon and bow to the sentiment tag.  We always spend Christmas at a family member's house so this tag will go on a lovely bottle of wine for the hostess.

The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions "Big Bold Christmas" stamp set.

This cheery tag will be posted to Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge and Christmas Card Challenges Anything Goes 

      

The last week of the month is usually kind of slow for me and I have no appointments or meetings this week -- plenty of time to spend in my cave.  Have a great week!

Merry Christmas Wine Bottle Tag

Today is September 30.  I just cannot believe how fast this month has gone by.  When August and summer ended, I thought I would have sooo much time to make cards, crochet and read.  Boy, was I wrong.  I've become very involved in the local woman's club and that is where all my time has gone this past month.  I'm not sure October will be any better so I'm looking forward to November, I think.

But I did have some time yesterday to make this wine bottle tag and I'm sure I will use on a  Christmas present! 

 

I'll be posting this card to Christmas Card Challenges #44 -- Anything Goes

There are some terrific cards this week - amazing talent.

Take care,
Kathy

Christmas Gift Tags

Gift tags are always fun to make.  Below are two I made this season. 

The mistletoe tag is made with the same stamp I used for the card.  I love this stamp -- the greens and red are so pretty together.  I added a gold sheer ribbon which I think gives it a more formal look.  String or yarn would be great for a casual touch.  I taped a 'To / From' sticker to the back.

The Merry Christmas tag was super easy to make as it is a free  printable.  Simply cut around the edges of the tags after printing, punch a hole and add ribbon.   I used the same gold sheer ribbon, but a red would be great, too.  Depending on the wrapping paper, black might be work.
