ESAD-SU SUMMER MINI BLOG HOP

Welcome to the ESAD-SU blog hop. This is our very first blog hop with 30 demonstrators participating. You have come from the very talented Tanya Kitto

ESAD-SU is a yahoo group and stands for Extra Special Australian Demonstrators. It is open to Australian and New Zealand Stampin Up demonstrators. If you are an Australian or New Zealand Demonstrator, this may be the group for you to join for fun, inspiration and a great network of demonstrators. Click here to take you to the group page.


I have used the "For Everything" stamp set and the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper from our new Summer Mini catalogue. I just love the vibrant colours in this pack, they are bright and have such a summer feel to them. I have also used the "Circle Scissor Plus" from the new Summer mini to cut the circles. This is a great new tool that Stampin Up have brought out, making cutting circles a breeze.

Stamp Set: "For everything"
Paper: tempting turquoise, pink passion, Summer Sun
Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black
Accessories: Circle Scissor Plus (pg 22 Summer Mini), 1" circle punch

Fun flowers Faux Metal Elegant Thankyou Bashful blue

This card I used the "faux metal" technique with the fun flowers stamp. My base card is bashful blue and I stamped the background using the fun flowers with versamark,I start off the edge of one corner on the diagonal. It is a great way to do background stamping, as your eye is drawn away from looking for the straight image, so it doesn't matter if you are off a bit.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Fun flowers, Elegant thank you
Ink: Versamark, riding hood red
paper: bashful blue, more mustard, riding hood red
Accessories: embossing powder, scallop square punch, spiral punch
