Crafty Creations Challenges: Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Crafty Creations Blog Hop and Two-Week Challenge! You should be arriving here from Jaime's blog. If this is your first stop you can always start by going to Claire's blog.
The two week challenge is: A Card or Gift of Gratitude or Thanks. I decided to make one of each: a tag for a hostess gift as well as a card. First, the tag:



This was partly inspired by a bottle of wine friends brought to our house the other evening. It had a promotional tag on it, and I noticed the paper loop hanger at the top. I usually make a tag that ties on with ribbon, but thought it would be fun to try this style. Is this sentiment not perfect for the gift of a festive libation?
And my card:


Green glitter embossing tinsel is hard to beat for Christmas, and I thought it was perfect for this stylized tree. (As always, the shine shows up much better in real life, as does the lettering in the sentiment. Photography's funny that way, sometimes. ☺)
Thanks for stopping by! Remember to enter Crafty Creations two-week challenge for your chance to win one of the many sponsored prizes! Your next stop on the hop is Donelda's blog.

    Green glitter embossing tinsel?!?! Talk about getting merry!

    Two fabulous cards-I love the folk art-y tree, but modernized with the glitter, and I love your clever wine tag. I did notice there was not an available wine bottle to put in the picture...seems like someone may have been getting merry a bit early! ;)

    Like the bottle tag. Would like to know details as to how you cut the tag to make it fit the bottle (I do not have a bottle tag to look at to know what is needed to make it hang on properly). Like the banner piece added to tag. Not sure if I'm late for the blog hop & will be entering a thank you card tomorrow 12/27.

    What a gorgeous tag and card set! I love how the wine tag doesn't have the entire hole cut out. The green glittery embossing is fabulous, of course, and totally makes the card!
