Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue Blog Hop

Good Morning everyone!

I hope you’re ready for the ESAD Blog Hop! Better go grab yourself a cuppa as you’ll be hopping for a while!
What is ESAD you say?
ESAD stands for Extra Special Australian (and New Zealand) Demonstrators and it is an online group just for Australian and New Zealand demonstrators for Stampin’ Up!
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 its 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.

You may have arrived here from Genelle Littles’s blog, where I am sure you have seen some wonderful creations. If you are starting here, when you have finished looking at my projects, just click on the link at the end of this post to “hop” to the next blog, then keep on “hopping” till you have circled back to Genelle’s blog.

I have four projects to show you, all using some of the exciting new products, including the Big Shot die-cutting machine (new to SU! in Australia) and dies, new cling mount stamps and three new in-colours.

The first is a card using a cute new stamp set, Tote-ally Tess, and two of the three new In Colours – unfortunately, the photos really don’t do the colours justice!

Card: Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White
Stamp Pads: Stazon (Black), Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry
Stamps: Tote-ally Tess, Crazy for Cupcakes, Sprinkles, Sweet Little Sentiments
Other: Big Shot, SU! Top Note Die, dimensionals, Dazzling Diamonds, Close to Cocoa and Creamy Caramel Stampin’ Write markers

I decided to make a purse next:

Another purse – no stamping on this one, just one of the lovely papers in the new Cottage Wall DSP!
