I don't think tanzaku are specific to Tanabata, so I'd prefer not to link them, even if that's generally the context in which artists will draw them. The definition is just listed as:
短冊 [たんざく] - (n) small vertical card for poem

Kadomatsu is defined as:
門松 [かどまつ] - (n) New Year's pine decoration

Wiki says "Designs for kadomatsu vary depending on region but are typically made of pine, bamboo, and sometimes ume tree sprigs which represent longevity, prosperity and steadfastness, respectively."

I can't discern from this that bamboo is 100% required, so I'll hold off on that.
