Hi everyone. Thanks for dropping by.
If you have come from
www.paulinebennetts.com/stampede (Pauline Bennett's blog),
welcome. This is the first time I have joined a ESAD blog hop. Hope you enjoy it.
What is ESAD?
ESAD
stands for "Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators" and it is an
on-line group just for Australian and New Zealand Stampin' Up!
demonstrators.
We love what we do & love to share with our customers, friends, and
wonderful blog visitors. We also share what we love in our ESAD
Demonstrator community, through swaps, challenges, sharing knowledge,
ideas & friendship, and we're always there to help and support each
other.
I have chosen to use the absolutely gorgeous Sweet Sorbet DSP. I just love the design and co-ordinating colours of this. These colours are Basic Black, Xrips Canteloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Pool Party, Sahara Sand, Summer Starfruit, Whisper White. As you can see, it's a very versatile DSP to use.
I've chosen to make one of the very popular at the moment, Pop Up Cards. This is also my first attempt at this tye of card. With such beautiful DSP it was easy! Just some fiddly cutting and then mounting before adding bling to finish. I've also incuded a lined envelope to match. Just finishes your card off nicely.
You can see I've used the DSP and Pool Party for my cardstock, with a touch of Crisp Canteloupe and Vellum.
Inks are again Pool Party, Crisp Canteloupe and Pistachio Pudding.
Stamp set is the SAB Petals Parade and Label Something from the main catalogue and for bling I've used Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamonds, Crystal Effects and Rhinestone brads. I've also used the Bitty and Elegant Butterfly punches and Beautiful Wings Embosslits.
Sale a Bration (SAB) time for us is an extra exciting time of the year. It's a time where you can get FREE products and we all know how much we like something FREE, especially if it has to do with crafting and Stampin Up. For every $90 you spend from 28 January through to 31 March, you will receive your choice of free items from our SAB catalogue....see what I mean by exciting!.....
Your next stop in the blog hop will be
Tamsin Adams
http://www.tamsinadams.blogspot.com/
I'm certain she will have something wonderful to show you too using products from our fantastic SAB catalogue.
Hope you've enjoyed your stop here. There's a lot more to see, so grab a cuppa and head off to get some great ideas from our other participants.
Until next time, take care,
Stunning. What a great use of the DSP. I'm really going to have to try a card in a box.
