Autumn/Winter Mini Blog Hop

Hi there and welcome to the ESAD Autumn Winter Mini Bog Hop. You will probably have just come from Peggy's blog but if not just hop on from my blog and follow it around. 

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 on to what I have created to show you today. I have decided to use the stamp set Apothecary Art and the new Framelits dies to go with it. I am loving this set of course since there is colouring to do. Also the set Bordering on Romance as I have used the framelits on these 2 cards as well.

 I saw a card similar to this on Pinterest and loved it so here is my version.The flowers look great with tiny pearls on them.

I coloured this one last week and then last night quickly put it together using some of the pretty satin pleated ribbon. The paper is Twitterpated.

 Bordering on Romance. This card I have used the framelits die to cut out the centre piece and then the Edgelits die to cut the edges and then placed Poppy Parade under the edge. I have left the front mostly white and embossed it.

 This final card I have used Blushing Bride and Pool Party. Also I have used the new Edgelits die and matching embossing folder. Aren't they just lovely.

Now its time for you to hop on over to Carolyn Bennie's Blog to enjoy more lovely cards. I have more cards ready for my launch tomorrow so come back in the next day or so to check them out.
thanks for stopping by.

New Stamps

Hello again. I suppose you have been thinking that I have forgotten about blogging lately. Boy the days get away from you. I hadn't realised it was 10 days since I did any blogging. I have been keeping busy playing with some new stamps I have received as a pre order for the upcoming Autumn/ Winter Mini for Stampin' Up! I am loving the set Vintage Vogue and thought I would show you a card I have made just to give you a taste of what is to come. I have this set in a Clear Mount stamp which means it is still a rubber stamp but you mount it on a clear block. I just love this kind of stamp as it means it doesn't take as much storage space..... and guess what? ... that means I can have more stamps. They are cheaper too!
I made this card for my good friend Jennie for her birthday, and as we were stamping together we cased it using Bravo Burgundy and Mellow Moss instead of the plum. Which one do you like the best? Leave me a comment and let me know. I love hearing from you.
If you want to see this stamp set and lots more new ones come along to my Mini Launch on Saturday 27th in the afternoon. Just email me for more details.



I hope you are all having a good weekend and enjoying this cooler weather if you are here in Perth. After 40+ deg yesterday this is a nice change.
