Welcome to the ESAD Annual blog hop for the new Stampin’ Up! 2012-2013 catalogue. 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.
If this is your first stop, welcome, if not I assume you have come here from Sharlene’s wonderful blog (so many ideas – so little time!). I love all the new designer series paper (DSP) in the new Annual Catalogue and one of my favourites is Comfort Cafe – so I knew I wanted to create something with it, combined with how many people I know that are off sick from work/school at the moment this project came to mind:
The labels framelits were ideal for cutting out the opening for allowing the tissues to be pulled out of the pack. The bottom flap you can open to allow the pack to be replaced, it’ be a shame to destroy such a pretty pack! The paper piercing along the Midnight Muse card stock is so easy with the new larger paper piercing template and mat – no more having to move a project half way through piercing it!
I was really excited that French Foliage made it into the new stamp catalogue as well as I love this set and haven’t nearly finished with my ideas for it yet! I was almost tempted to turn this one into a Christmas card, but the new hostess stamp set in the Holiday catalogue seemed to suit the occasion better along with stamps from Tiny Tags.
There are lots of other wonderful new items in the new Annual catalogue, but for now its off to visit Corina’s blog and see what she has been creating. Thanks for stopping by my blog and if you have any questions, please leave me a message!

That tissue box is adorable and I love the vibrant tones in your French Foliage card – gorgeous! 🙂
I love the tissue box holder and I have only just gotten the French foliage set myself. I really need to play. TFS
Great card and tissue holder Ann. They make a really thoughtful gift for someone who is not well. Good idea!!
Ann, these are darling. I love the little “nurse” owl on the tissue box. It’s soo cute!!
Very cute projects. I’m a bit of an owl tragic. Love your use of French Foliage too. Thanks for being part of the Blog Hop – they’re lots of fun 🙂
Love the matching get well card and tissue holder. So appropriate at the moment.
Lovely projects Ann!
Ann these projects are gorgeous. I love the tissue holder and how you have used the framelits for the opening. You are very clever.
Gorgeous little set of owl projects Ann. Also love the way you’ve used French Foliage to create a great seasonal background for your card. TFS
Cute owls, thanks for sharing 😉
