More drink gifting for Christmas
Hello it's Jane here this morning with some more Christmas gifting inspiration for our November challenge. For my first project I made a gin gift tag, today it is the turn of wine, red wine to be precise.
I use these handmade gift tags to make my drink based Christmas gifts more personal. They are always well received and you don't even need to gift wrap the bottle, just hang it around the neck!
If you would like to see how I made it pop on over to my blog here where all is revealed. I might even have a spare glass for you...no to be truthful I'm not a wine drinker. It's beer, gin or champagne in our house.
Cheers!
Bye for now,

Good morning and a very happy Monday! Well, Christmas is getting ever nearer, and all gifts need a bag to go in, so that is what I've made using products by Lisa Horton.
There are more photos here on my blog if you would like to take a look.
Hi everyone! I can't believe that Christmas is nearly here so it was nice to get a head start making these fun Snowman Tags for this years Christmas presents.
I used the Mr. Frost Sizzix Thinlits set by Tim Holtz and the sentiment was from the Sketch Greenery Stamp Set by Tim Holtz; to see how they came together please pop over to my blog Let's Art Journal. x
Hello everyone, I've some ideas for adding something special to your Christmas tags and wrapping

Hello everyone,
For this months challenge I have made some gift tags and I have to confess that it was a struggle as I am not a fan of Christmas. Anyway I managed to get something made ! lol
As always there is a video to show how I made them. Link below.
Monika
If you like my vintage pocket watch ornament
please hop on my blog where you can find a tutorial and many photos.
Have a happy November!
For our Christmas gifting challenge I made a gift tag to attach to a bottle of gin. It really does make your Christmas gift so personal and this sentiment is such fun. There is no need for wrapping paper either!
I am a huge fan of gin and this new stamp set from Visible Image works perfectly with their existing Christmas stamps. Pop on over to my blog here to see how I made it...and perhaps have a glass of gin while your are there...or is it too early?!? You will be able to see my tag hanging from the neck of my favourite brand. Happy November everyone, the countdown to Christmas has begun.
I am back on the 19th with another drinks based tag idea for your Christmas gifting.
Bye for now,
I have been making coasters all year, 2 at a time in order to be ready with a set at Christmas! This one involves gilding flakes. Come by my blog to read about the process and see the other coaster!
Hello and happy November! For the challenge this month I made a bunch of gifting tags.
