ESAD OCCASIONS BLOG HOP

Welcome to my blog, I hope you have found some inspiration from these talented ladies. I have been really busy working on all new product as I am going on a stamp camp next weekend. I am teaching so I have a lot of samples, but until after camp I cant share sorry. But I am going to share with you a card I have made. I still have not put a sentiment on it, as I feel this one could be used for multiple occasions.  I made it for my mum to give a friend but she said it didn’t really suit the guy, but that’s ok, I have another masculine card to add to my collection. I have used the stamp Set called Moon Lake, this is a beautiful set and to me has so many different uses.

I have stamped on Whisper White in Staz on, then water coloured the image. For this I have just used my Aqua Painter and taken colour from the lids of my ink pads. For the back ground I have used the stamp set called Woodgrain. I have finished it off with some Twine around the image and tied it into a knot. This was a nice easy card to put together and easy to re-create.

I will share one thing I have made for stamp camp, and that is this beautiful flower made using the Bouquet Bigz Die.

I have placed it beside my scissors so you can compare the size. This is huge and takes a whole sheet of DSP. but it was fun to make, and I love the effect it will give as an embellishment on a project.

Thank you for stopping by.

ESAD Annual Catalogue Blog Hop

Good evening and welcome to the ESAD blog hop. I hope you have had a great time going through everyone’s blogs. Haven’t they done a fantastic job.

For my share I have made a couple of cards. The first two are using the new stamp set called Work of Art. This is my favourite set at the moment and is so versatile.

This one I made for our team swap. At the time I had a cast on my hand and I couldn’t use scissors very well so I had to make my card very simple, but I loved how it turned out.

Here it is with the envelope:

For my second card, I have also used the same set and also the new in colours. This card I made at a class I attended:

And here it is with the envelope:

ESAD Occasions Catalogue Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog, I hope you have seen some amazing and inspiring projects so far. Don’t you just love what Andrea Buckland shared.

I have a project to share with you that I have been working on now for a week or so, no its not a difficult one but when you are making 20 of them for a swap it is very time consuming. I have chosen to demonstrate the Spiral Flower Die. I have made up plenty of prototypes which I will show you using different colour combos and techniques. In the end I used a completely different colour combination. Here is my swap that I made, it is a cute post it note holder:

This is it all opened out flat:

As you can see it is a very simple piece but with a few different features in it. The rose is made with Daffodil Delight Cardstock and sponged with Tangerine Tango Ink to give the two tone effect. I have used Pool party Cardstock as my base and covered it with the new DSP called Watercolour Wonder. I love this paper. I have used a plain piece with the two tones on it and then stamped in Basic black ink with Peaceful Petals to add the images on it. To seal the post it note holder I have used our candy dot Brads. The top is cut using another new product called the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. It goes to show you can use it for just about anything.

Here are the flowers I had a play with:

They may all look the same but trust me they are not. Most of them are two toned, so I rolled two different colours together and they are rolled in two different ways. One is where you hold the two colours together and roll and the other is when you roll one then add another at the end and keep rolling.

The main colour in all these is Pool Party to go with the base of the sticky note holder. The top left one is rolled with sky blue. the middle one is the same colours but a tighter roll and I put the sky blue on the inside to see if that made any difference. the right top one is firstly rolled with Pool Party and then rolled with Island Indigo. The bottom left is rolled with Very Vanilla that is sponged with Island Indigo on the edges. The middle one is rolled with Smokey Slate and the lucky last is rolled with just two pieces of Pool Party that are also sponged on the edges. I decided the Blue just didn’t work for me and went for the yellow.

ESAD Blog Hop – Annual Catty

Good afternoon and welcome to my blog, I hope you have enjoyed the hop so far and enjoyed Emily Campbell’s post.

It has been a crazy few weeks in my house with three birthdays and two birthday parties. It hasn’t been easy with half of my family being sick last week, and trying to organise my sons party at the same time.

In May I was lucky enough to attend convention in Brisbane and was even luckier to win a prize patrol, in this pack I won the Beautifully Baroque stamp, embossing folder and a pack of DSP called Eastern Elegance so thats what I have used as my sample. I also attended a team training last weekend where we made swaps so I have included a few samples from my fellow team mates.

I have a card made from a new stamp set called Beautifully Baroque. It also includes the matching embossing folder and DSP called Eastern Elegance. It is quite a large stamp but I loved having a play with it and found embossing it in white and then sponging over it gave the best image.

This card is using the same stamp, embossing folder and DSP but was made by Irene Wardlaw:

And here are a few cards also made by demonstrators in our team using the stamp set called Sketched Birthday:

First one is by Vicky-Lee Mueller

This one was made by Paula Reid:

And the last one was made by Rosie Dunn:

Thank you for stopping by and your next stop is over at Amity Knight for some more great crafting creations.

ESAD New Catty Blog Hop

Good afternoon and welcome to my blog, I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful projects designed by our talented demonstrators over at ESAD.

For my cards I have used a range of stamps and accessories from our new catalogue that went live on September 1st. This time of year for me is always so exciting, I love new ideas and being able to see all the new products that Stampin Up have released.

For my fist card I have used the new stamp set called Everything Eleanor, along side with Bring on the Cake. I have created my own Patterned paper in the colours I wanted my card in, so I started with a piece of neutrals Patterns stack paper and added a design to it using the Everything Eleanor set, if you look close you can see the ink almost resists the pattern and looks like it has been there all along. I made the flower using a scallop circle punch, I broke the fibres in the card stock and tore the card in half to make two flowers from one piece, this makes a really soft flower and uses half the amount of card stock. The ribbon is Crumb Cake Seam Binding Ribbon. For the design at the bottom I have used a new embossing folder called Delicate Designs Folders and then cut out using the new Edgelits called Large Scallop Edgelits. The colours used here are Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Raspberry Ripple and Midnight Muse.

The inside, I always match my insides with the envelope to give that extra personal touch.

For my second card I have used the same technique for the background but this time on the Basic Black Patterns Paper. This stamp set is called Serene Silhouettes and I have teamed it up with Teeny Tiny Sentiments. I have also based my card on the same base colours but used basic Black instead of Crumb Cake. I have also used the new Textured Impressions embossing folder in the Holiday Mini called Lacy  Brocade. The sentiment is punched out using Decorative label Punch and triple layered on card stock. I have finished this one with Three basic Pearls

The inside:
