Today, I've finished creating 50 wine bottle tags using the Hang Your Stocking Stamp Set and coordinating Christmas Stockings Thinlits Dies. The colours are inspired by the Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper featured on the Christmas tags and the layout by the Noel Christmas card I recently created. These Christmas bottle tags are for the customers of a local business...

This card also shows off the three gorgeous Christmas Trinkets Embellishments - love that card jewellery!
