ESAD Autumn Winter Mini Catalog 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.



Ok so now on to my creation.  To date I have completed a total of 5 scrapbooking pages, I really find them challenging, but there I was playing around with my new toys and there was a recent pic taken of my daughter  (who'd just been dancing in the rain) which seemed to go well with the gorgeous new Cottage Wall DSP.

Blog hop layout
 

So I jumped in and took the plunge, and whilst I took a lot of time deciding where everything should go, it ended up being a really simple Layout.  There's heaps of new goodies used too.  

I've used some ink, cardstock & ribbon in one of the gorgeous New In-Colors - Rich Razzleberry (The other two, Soft Suede & Melon Mambo are wonderful too!)

The long awaited Top Note Die's been cut out using my Big Shot in Kraft Cardstock and only part peeks out below the photo to provide a space for journalling.

Below this is a strip of Whispher White that has been punched with the Scallop Edge Punch & run through the "Polka Dots" Embossing Folder.  This together with the strip of Orchid Opulence popped through the crimper add the texture without overpowering the layout. 

The Flower &  "Love Life" quote comes from the stamp set - Cottage Garden.  This quote has been stamped on a piece of Whispher White that has been cut out with a Sizzlet from the set of Lots of Tags.  Behind this is a piece of Orchid Opulence that was cut from the Curly Label punch, then cut in half and stuck on so it just peeks out bend the quote.

Finally the Two Step Bird Punch!  Love it - as you can see the branch part of this punch is so versatile.

Here's a close up:

  5. This page is soooo great! I always try to fill any spaces on my projects so I LOVE that you only have one photo as the focus on this page. And the accents around the photo are just perfect.

  17. Hi Corinna! When you stop and look at all the Aut/Win catty products here ... you really have incorporated an incredible amount! I hate cutting up gorgeous papers like this for cards ... they sometimes need to be seen in all their glory! (Like you have done here!) Love the idea of sending your scalloped border through the Big Shot to give the polka dot embossed effect! Great ideas! TFS Stampin' Hugs, Andrea xxx

  22. Corrina, I'm a scrapbooker (well I would be if I ever stopped blog hopping!!) so it was great to see all those SU ideas on one page. Thanks for the inspiration. I think maybe the Bit Shot might make my wish list now! :)
