The interesting thing, is Melissa chose Martha at Martha's Creations  and of course I went to check out her blog. She does AMAZING tags and tag cards! How is that for good timing, considering the tag craze I've been on the past week.  :-)

Speaking of tags:

I made two very similar Christmas gift tags using two foil decorated word panels that were fussy cut from a sheet of K&Co Christmas paper.

 

I stamped a (Fiskars) To/From stamp twice onto scrap white card stock, cut them out and attached one to the back of each tag.  The red print on the back of the tag is also foiled in areas!

The 2nd tag has a strip of the foiled red print paper across the center, and I used bakers twine and a button instead of red sheer ribbon. The base tag layer was cut using a Stampin' Up die. I am LOVING this die set.
