My sweet hubby 'hired' me to make him wine bottle tags to give to some of the executives at the new office space he just finished. They'll be moving in shortly so we went with the "New Nest" theme.
These were a lot of fun to make. I tried a new technique too! Can you see the embossed clouds? Well, I cut nine Sizzix cloud dies out and glued three together. I placed them down on my cutting mat where I wanted them on the tag and then ran them through my big shot and used the die cuts as embossing folders. I was VERY pleased with the results and now I'll definitely look at my dies a little differently going forward.
I also used my new Impression Obsession branch die and gave the leaves a fall theme. The bird is from Darcies with the top wing popped up. You can't see it, but my hubby's business card is hanging from the string where the bottleneck will go.
I made 9 in total, but here are 5 of them.

This is the nicest wine tag I have ever seen, well done Maria and great idea with the clouds and the embossing, it looks lovely too.
Wow, these are fabulous, Maria! Love that die cut branch with the multi-colored leaves and love the birds! And how brilliant are those embossed clouds??! Thanks for the tip for embossing with dies. I so need to give that a try!
WOW! Very lovely tags and thanks for sharing that swell technique how to make clouds. Look so well embossed. Clear and crisp.
Yes, NY an NJ are badly hit... I was watching on CNN and it made me a bit sad.

I wanted you to know I received your cards for the Card Drive for Addison. The girls will love them and special thanks for making cards for the two little ones! I have added your entries into the drawing!
The embossed clouds is a cool touch, and I love the punches of orange against the blue.
Maria, I've never even thought to use a die this way - and I just got that cloud die too!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
