Hello everyone and welcome back to another Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! We are a group of 16 Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world, that were chosen to represent Stampin' Up! over the course of the 2019 year, through blog hops, Facebook posts and corporate blog posts. Each month we will be be focusing on a particular set of products to bring you inspiration from around the globe Stampin' Up!
Our focus this month is the beautiful Toile Tidings Suite of products. This suite if full of traditional holiday imagery and classic Christmas colours. It has not one, but two stamp and die bundles; Toile Christmas and Tidings All Around. It also includes coordinating wrapping paper, designer series paper, beautiful ribbons and sparkly enamel dots. Using both stamp bundles I created a perfect little tag for gift giving and an elegant card. The Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper also makes it easy to create customized bows of varies sizes to adorn treasured gifts.
For the gift tag I started with my go to Stitched Nested Labels in the largest size and cut out a Crumb Cake base. I stamped the cardstock using Crumb Cake Ink and the leafy images. Using the wreath die I cut out one from Shimmery White Cardstock and the other from Vellum. To create a watercoloured wreath I used Garden Green and Old Olive inks on the Shimmery White, varying the amount of ink versus water ratio to create different depths of colour. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark Ink then heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and fussy cut out. Of course no wreath would be complete without some "berries" and a little bling so I added a few Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel Dots and painted on a little Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint. The gift box was wrapped using the awesome coordinating wrapping paper and Garden Green Double-Stitched Ribbon.
For my card I kept with the tag theme and decided to make another one for the front of my card as a focal point. This is a great way to showcase the elegant Cardinal image. Starting with a Thick Very Vanilla base I layered on a piece of DSP. The base of the tag was made the same was as above and I also heat embossed the main image in gold. Few vellum die cut leaves were tipped with a little Wink of Stella shimmer and then tucked in behind the stamped sentiment banner. Now I am one who can never has enough of some subtle glitter and shimmer so the cardinal was also lightly filled in using the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Both banners are interesting. I like the mix of shades used to tint the crown but I also like the idea of keeping the principle as a focal point on a map ... Bravo Jennifer!
