ESAD Blog Hops

Hello and welcome to my Blog.  Tonight I’m hopping with some very talented ladies for another ESAD Blog Hop for the launch of the Stampin’ Up! 2018-2019 Catalogue.  You may have started with me or you may have hopped over from the lovely Carolina Evans.  Click on the next button at the bottom of my post to continue your way around.  You won’t want to miss seeing any of these amazing projects we have for you tonight.

There are so many wonderful new products in this Catalogue I had a hard time choosing which one to use.  In the end I picked Varied Vases.  This stamp set has 34 photopolymer stamps and a matching punch.  You can buy it in a bundle and save 10%.

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today I’m joining 27 fellow SU demonstrators for an ESAD blog hop featuring products that are on the Retirement List.  You may have started with me or you may have hopped over from Jo Stubbings.  Click on the next button at the end my the post to continue on the blog hop and check out all the amazing projects.

I decided to choose a stamp set and die bundle that had been sitting on my shelf for a while now.  I couldn’t let You Move Me go uninked any longer.  Have you seen this bundle used before?  The image flutters when you pull it out of the envelope.

I’ve used my favourite retiring DSP, Bundle of Love, with the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits (sadly, also retiring) to create my project.  I couldn’t decide if I wanted a blue or pink version so I made both.

I’ve used Sweet Sugarplum (retiring) and Blushing Bride ink for the pink version.

And Island Indigo (retiring) and Tempting Turquoise (retiring) ink for the blue version.  I’ve added in some retiring Very Vanilla Sold Baker’s Twine and retiring Metallic Enamel Shapes also.

If you click on the links below you can see short videos of my interactive cards in action.

My assistant Marvi was quite interested in the Baker’s Twine and decided he might like to eat it.

Next on the hop is the lovely Sharon Dalton.  I had the pleasure of meeting Sharon in Sydney at On Stage.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today I’m joining in with another ESAD Blog Hop featuring products from the 2018 Sale-a-bration Catalogues.  You may be starting with me or you may have hopped over from Cheryl Algie, either way you’re in for a treat with 19 very talented ladies sharing their creativity.

We have two amazing Sale-a-bration Catalogues.  This year Stampin’ Up! have added in a second level of free product.  You have the usual spend $90 and choose a free product and you also have spend $180 and you can choose from these three amazing free products.

For my project today I’m using the Celebrate You Thinlit Dies and the matching stamp set Amazing You.

My card base is Basic Black with layers of Bermuda Bay and Whisper White.  I’ve stamped the flower and words from Amazing You in Archival Basic Black ink.  I stamped a second flower then coloured it with Bermuda Bay.  I then fussy cut it and popped it up on dimensionals over the top of the original flower.

I’ve layered strips of Myths & Magic Specialty Washi Tape on some Whisper White card stock then die cut the word “Celebrate” with the Celebrate You Thinlit Dies.

The three leaf die cuts are from Bouquet Bunch Framelits and I’ve done one in Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, one in Vellum and one in Myths & Magic Specialty Washi Tape.  A Clear Faceted Gem finishes off my flower quite nicely.

My lovely assistant Marvi was helping me photograph the card.  Being a card model is clearly exhausting for him.

Next up on our ESAD Blog Hop is the very talented Nicole Wilson.  Just click on the next button to hop over to her fabulous project.

Thanks for stopping by.
