DeNami Gift Tag Blog Hop!

Hello!  Today I am participating in another DeNami blog hop.  This time gift tags are the theme ... so fun!  Welcome to all the "hoppers"!  If you came from  the blog of Michele Gross, you are on the right track!  If you want to start from the beginning or if you get lost along the way, click on the Blog Hop Badge above and it will take you back to home base.  Now, let me get to my gift tag and my card!  Yes, I know the theme is gift tags, not cards.  But, right now I am in a major push to complete my Christmas cards so I decided if I could combine my gift tag with a card, I could add it to my stack that will be sent out.  And, I might give you some ideas too!  I will show you the tag first and then my card with the tag enclosed!  Enjoy!

 

What do you think?  For the tag, I left the sentiment off when I stamped it because I really wanted to highlight the image.  In it's place, I added a line of pink rhinestones and the strip of pattern paper.  You can't really see it in person, but I really glitzed it up with crystal glitter!  One more note about the tag. For the ribbon tab I used a nestibilities die folded over and then punched my hole through it to put my ribbon through.  Since the ribbon was pretty wide, I pulled only one piece through and tied a piece of linen thread around it.  And the card ... well, I love how it came out!  I simply made a pocket to store my gift tag in. I did however, have to go with a larger size card that an A-2 since the stamped tag is pretty large.  My finished card size is approx. 4 x 6.  I created the opening by creating  an oval piece with nestibilities. Don't you love the pink and red combo?  Merry and bright, perfect for Christmas!
