ESAD See Ya Later Favourites Blog Hop



Welcome to yet another wonderful ESAD blog hop!
I am so lucky to be in this group of talented demonstrators (friends) and I hope that you enjoy all our projects using our retiring favourites from both the Annual and Mini Catalogues.

You have either started with myself or come from the lovely Kelly's blog.
I hope you enjoy what we have made with such gorgeous goodies that we have to sadly say goodbye to!


How do I pick a retiring favourite?? I have lots. I recently made a card that took me hours to nut out so I decided to make another using all the retiring in colours as well as the gorgeous Beautiful Bouquet Stamps and Dies. I am really going to miss these but I am excited about the new products coming.....



 If you wish to make this card, I have named it a Double Flowerpot Card - click here for the tutorial.

  • Stamps: Beautiful Bouquet
  • Ink:  Memento, Lovely Lipstick, Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Grapefruit Grove and Pineapple Punch
  • Card: Whisper White, Early Espresso, Lovely Lipstick, Call Me Clover, Grapefruit Grove and Pressed Petals  Specialty Designer Series Paper
  • Tools: Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies and Stitched Nested dies as well as Subtle Embossing Folder with a die cutting machine
  • Embellishments: - Dimensionals, ClearFaceted Gems and incolour Grosgrain 1/8" ribbon in Blueberry Bushel and Call Me Clover 


This card I made last year and haven't had a chance to blog it so here it is with the gorgeous Music From the Heart Stampset. I was lucky to score this stampset free when I presented at onstage in November!


  • Stamps: Music From the Heart
  • Ink:  Memento & Real Red
  • Card: Whisper White, Basic Black and Real Red
  • Tools: Stitched Be Mine Dies with a die cutting machine as well as Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends

Another favourite is the Bees! Honey Bee & The Detailed Bee Dies were my absolute favourite from the Mini Catalogue. It is one bundle that will not leave my stash.


This card was recently sent to my "adopted" upline Ann for her birthday in April. Ann has been so wonderful especially over the last few months, she has been sending my mum and myself alot of happy mail. I really do appreciate it.

  • Stamps: Clubhouse

  8. I love your creations! I have always loved Beautiful Bouquet but sadly never actually owned it but I always loved everyone's creations which is exactly the case with your double flower pot card. I am keeping my music stamp set for my kids piano and music teachers.
