...Instead of cards
I've had the idea to send out a select few Christmas greeting "tags" instead of "cards" this year. These are styled traditionally for my recipients.
The fun will be that they can be hung on the tree, a cupboard knob, chair finial, other decorative hook... Saved as a decoration is so better than tucking cards into a drawer (never to be seen again).
And finally, of course, one for me in a style I currently enjoy.
Merry and bright to all.

I used 3-D stickers, punched shapes, and wooden birds.
This flying geese tree was made from the corners I cut from the tops of the tags.
This one I found on Pinterest here
The backs.

They are all beautiful and will certainly be treasured by the recipients! I love the idea of a tag for a card!
I'm almost speechless. Best tags ever. Squeal!!!
The backgrounds are so beautifully complex and then all the images added make for such outstanding arty tags. The background is brilliant too. These must have been great fun to make.
Of course I have to choose a favourite and it is ..... drum roll ..... the second with the gorgeous tree and the cheeky little bird with his green scarf.
Great idea to make these to hang all over at Christmas, and after too.
Flaming hell Annie these are by FAR the best Christmas tags EVER made!!! Oh my they are so delicious I just want to eat them up...well okay maybe not that but I would put them all in pride of place in the house.
Wonderful stuff,I know you are one super talented crafty lady but WOW,you have blown everyone away with these beauties :))))

Annie those are all so darn cute!!! I like that penguin and snowman the best, but my sister would love the nutcracker because she has collected nutcrackers for a few years. I am sure those would brighten up any tree or package or even strung as bunting would be very festive. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas.
Third line should have said "The backs are brilliant too".
Typingless as well as speechless.
Your tags are fantastic! What a great idea instead of traditional cards. You are so amazingly creative and talented.
Your tags are wonderful. Great idea to use them as cards.
Oh Annie, Look at how fun and festive those are! You never cease to amaze me!
Like I've been saying all year……YOU ARE TOO DARNED CLEVER……AND TALENTED TOO!!! What a cute and marvelous idea!! And so creative and fun! Why didn't I think of it???? Duh! I think hanging on a tree would be marvelous! (Hint-hint!!)

Terrific Tags Annie. You have managed to create just what I had in mind last December for this December and yet never got done! Love how you made each one unique and how you used even the little corners for a tree. Uber Clever Dear. Sharing Joy and Jingles...
