Stamp Set Showcase Week 22 (6) 25 Days Advent Countdown

Yes ... At Last!

After almost 3 days we finally have our Broadband back!

I did try to do my blog posts via my mobile, but with my fat fingers, the spelling was dreadful and just took far too long with our extremely poor mobile phone connection.

So this week is missing a couple of blog posts, and I hope you will all forgive me?

My hubby is relieved too, as I have been like a bear with a sore head, Gr-umping around because I couldn't get online

At least it gave me a chance to start making some of this years gifts, and first off is out alcoholic beverage offering ...

It is a Mars Bar & Gingerbread Liqueur .... and far too scrummy too!

And of course, I had to do a tag to go on them,.

I used My Digital Studio to print the instructions on the reverse of the tag using an Edwardian Script (I forgot to photograph that though .... hmm ... tut tut to me ...

The Tag was made using the Angled Tag Topper Punch using Kraft Cardstock,

The Tags were then Stamped using Cherry Cobbler Ink and the Seasonaly Scattered Stampset (the MERRY stamp).

I then stamped a CHRISTMAS greeting, also in Cherry Cobbler, and punched it out using the Modern Label Punch,

Finally, I used lengths of Gold Sequin Trim,, Linen Thread, Cotton Ribbon, and a now (and scraps of retired Ribbon & Organza Trim). In the products list below, I have substituted the retired ribbon for currently available ribbon.

The Ribbon was attached to the tag with a teeny safety pin, and the whole tag was tied onto the bottle with Linen Thread. I have since added a cinnamon stick and a sprig of faux floristry Holly Berries when assembling the tags
