A Toast to the Host, Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop

Hello friends!  Welcome back to another Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop! Today I'm spoiling you with not just one, but three projects!

The season of giving is just around the corner.  I thought there was no better time to start sharing some ideas for prettying up gifts.

The Here's to Cheers stamp set and coordinating Cheerful Tags bundle are great for creative packaging, like this wine bottle gift tag, for instance.

All kinds of summer celebrations are popular here in Australia at this time of year.  I've gone with a colour scheme of copper, sahara sand and blushing bride in this project set.  I wanted to show how the products, whilst a perfect choice for festive celebrations, might suit other occasions like weddings too.

Peek-a-boo, don't you just love bringing an element of the inside of a card to the front?

And now a little gift tag!  The pretty paper with the leaves is from the Fancy Frost Specialty Designer Series paper (great name!!).  It comes in many patterns - all in white - which can be used as is or with a splash of colour using your choice of technique.  I've added subtle sahara sand sponging on mine.

Thanks for stopping by - please continue with the blog hop and see what Jess has for us today!

I hope you enjoy our projects - happy crafting!
