ESAD - Saleabration Ending Soon 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 products only available for another week from Saleabration 2023.

You have either started with myself or come from Lou

My most favourite thing in the Saleabration Catalogue is favored flowers DSP. 

I think it's the rich colours in it that draws me to this paper.

I recently was leant some Perth Wildcats tickets while friends of ours were away and I made this card for them to thank them. It always is an amazing atmosphere at the game and we were very grateful for the loan. The bonus was we ended up going to two games!!

And they won both games!

Anyway, onto card number two made in a very similar way to the first card using the stitched greenery die as the base of the card.

I really love fussy cutting images out of the designer series paper, I find it therapeutic. 

This card was made for a very, very special friend of mine who had a big birthday earlier in February.

A lifetime ago I worked in a holiday resort in Busselton called Mandalay. It was the best time and I got to know so many regular customers who came each year to stay. The owners of the resort are like family to me and so are many of the customers. 

I was so, so lucky to be invited to a 70th high tea yesterday to celebrate one of them.

Lastly, here is the card that I made for her with the same papers, and background but just in another colour. I am so loving this paper!

Unfortunately the number die that I have used on this particular card has retired but it will never be leaving my stash!

• Stamps: Beautifully Happy
• Ink:  Blackberry Bliss
• Card: Basic White, Blackberry Bliss & Fresh Freesia
• Tools: Alphabet A La Mode Dies & Stitched Greenery Die with a Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine.
• Embellishments: - Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels, Iridescent Pastel Gems and Stampin' Dimensionals

Next up is my Stampin' bestie who the middle card above was for, Denise

Colour Inkspiration 137 #CI137

 

Welcome to Colour Inkspiration!

What is Colour INKspiraton? – a Facebook based bi-monthly colour challenge.

Anyone with Facebook can join in.  You don’t need a blog and you don’t need to be a demonstrator.

I have joined in these challenges and love them as Colour challenges for me are actually a real challenge.

 Click here to join the Facebook page which now has over 2700 members and see what it’s all about.

Here’s some of the basic details about the challenge –

The Colour INKspiration Crew! consists of a team of talented Aussie and NZ Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrators that create projects based on Pinterest inspired colour swatches.

Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm (AEDT), a new colour swatch will be uploaded to the Facebook Colour INKspiration Group and the Colour INKspiration Crew will get the ball rolling by providing inspiration for each challenge with a post on their blogs.

Then you have a 12 day period to upload your own creations using the colours provided.

If you have a blog, feel free to link back to it, but all entries will be via Facebook.  The design team will select 5 projects to be ‘design team picks’ and then the Facebook group will select an overall winner from this shortlist.
