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 so love what we do and not only do we love to share it with our customers, friends, and wonderful blog visitors, but we share our love for what we do with each other as demonstrators. We run swaps, challenges, tutorials, product know-how, and cyberstamps, and we are always there to help and support each other when it is needed.
So if you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, then please feel free to click here to join our wonderful group.
Now that the business side of this post is done so let’s move on to the ‘creative’ side.
You may have arrived here from Alisa Tilsner’s blog, but if you are starting here, don’t worry…..you can make the complete circuit just by following the links at the end of each post. There are 25 stops along the way, so that’s plenty of inspiration for you showcasing new products from the Autumn/Winter Mini released today. If you’d like your own copy of the Autumn/Winter mini please feel free to email me and I’ll pop one in the post. You can also view it online here.
My creations are made using a new stamp set, matching punch, some gorgeous new designer series paper and the new Adorning Accent Edgelits. With Mother’s Day just over a month away I decided to create with this in mind.
I’ve only had time to make this card and covered notebook but will probably add something else to it to complete the gift. Everyone needs a little choccie treat too now don’t they.
Here’s a closer look at the card. Isn’t that Adorning Accent Edgelit gorgeous? I really love the colours and design of this print in the Twitterpatted DSP pack too.
Supplies:
Stamp sets: Mixed Bunch, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Basic Gray, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Twitterpatted DSP
Ink: Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red, Baja Breeze
Accessories: Blossom, Word Window, Modern Label & 3/4” Circle Punches, Big Shot, Adorning Accent Edgelits, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet Dies, Basic Jewels – Pearls
I hope you like what I’ve created and hopefully I’ve inspired you in some way. I’d love for you to leave me a comment and let me know.
You’re now off to visit Peggy Quarmby’s blog and see what wonderful creations she’s made.
Till next time….
