Stampin' Up! - Heart of Christmas 2019 - Week 10

Tonight, for week 10 of the Heart of Christmas I will be bringing to you another card from the gorgeous Toile Tidings stamp set and Christmas Cardinal dies. I brought you a card a few weeks ago but thought I would go back and do a little series using this stamp set and dies.

Today is such a beautiful day in Melbourne but as in springtime we will be back in the cold weather again by the weekend. I quite like the warm part of spring weather not the up down nature of it. So grab a cuppa and have fun hopping along with the team tonight!

Well my card this week I tried to use a lot of the elements of the Toile tidings suite that can be found starting on page 5 of the 2019 Holiday catalogue.

I have used Thick Very Vanilla as the card base and layered basic grey over the top and another layer off normal very vanilla. In the top very vanilla layer, I have used the swirl dies in the Christmas Cardinal die set to cut out a pretty border then placed a piece of the Toile Tidings DSP right up close.

I have used a strip of Basic grey right down the center of the card with a piece Garden Green Double Stitched ribbon.

In this lovely stamp set you not only get the gorgeous cardinal but the lovely branches as well and I have stamped the largest branch on very vanilla in soft suede and cut it out with the dies. I have also cut the large branch out with the in vellum to soften the look. I have cut the smaller branches out in soft suede, garden green, and vellum to go under the gorgeous male red Cardinal.

To colour the cardinal, I have used the Stampin’ Blends, light and dark real red and light and dark soft suede after stamping him in black memento ink! He is such a beautiful bird to colour and I love that we have a die to cut him out with. I have popped him up on some dimensionals.

I have stamped the sentiment in Soft suede from the stamp set and the die set cuts this out as well. It is such a great set to have and if you buy it in a bundle you save 10% so I would highly recommend you do that if you can. Buy in bundles!
