Sale-a-bration Celebration …

Good Morning!

With Sale-a-bration starting next week we at ESAD thought what better time for a Blog Hop! So go grab yourself a cuppa and some toast or bikkies and sit back and keep clicking through the gorgeous creations the girls here have created for your viewing pleasure!

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.

So if you are a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator located in Australia or New Zealand, then please feel free to leave me a comment with your Email address and I’ll contact you with information on how to join our wonderful group.

I would dearly love to share the catalogue with you today here but I’m unable to do that till next Tuesday however if you’d like your own copy be sure to email or leave a comment and I will get one in the post to

I have three little projects for you today and I do hope you like them as I totally loved making them and it just so happens these are the first items made at my new desk.

First up …. Envelope Cards.  I saw these a few weeks ago and thought ‘Oh I gotta make some of these’ and they really are so much fund to make.

Here’s my first one which is a 3×3 Envelope card …

This card uses the Petal Parade stamp set and the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper – earn these for free during Sale-a-bration – you get one Sale-a-bration item for every $90 you order – yep thats reduced from last year!

Now for the open ‘card’ ….

How neat are these cards?? I love them 🙂

Yep I love them so much that I had to make another … this one was way too much fun to make …

The banner on the front simply holds this card closed – too easy!  Love that cute floral paper too – again it’s from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper and for the inside ….

So so sweet with those little banners from Banner Blast Saleabration Set which coordinates perfectly with the new Banner punch! Oh so cute. This one got the Teen Seal of Approval so it has to be ok right?? I think maybe that Teen and her Teen friends need a little cardy day dont you think?  Oh and see the perfectly placed string?  That is compliments of my Smokey Slate Stampin’ Write Marker!  See .. no strings attached!  Ok … so I need another coffee!

These cards will be part of my Stamp Club starting February so if you’d like to join please drop me a message.

Now the next little project I have for you today is a sweet little box of cards – I know this might come as a shock but I think I’m just a little fond of little boxed sets of cards!

Oh look! there’s that patterned paper again!  I do have to say I quite love how this one turned out with the belly band and the embellishment on top. It all came together so perfectly.

So what’s inside??

We have three little 3×3 cards with matching envelopes ….

Cute hey?  I’ve actually made a few sets of these and I’m off to a local shopping centre today where I’m having my Team Gathering and I actually going to hand some out to random people so if you live in or near Campbelltown you may just run into me …. or me into you – let’s just hope I find the courage to do so!

Now … where to next?  It’s time to hop on over to Chloe’s Blog and here’s the entire list just in case there is a link that doesnt work or someone’s post hasnt quite got online in time – there are 25 all up so just keep hopping till you get back to me and you are all good.
