Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the ESAD Blog Hop for the new annual catalogue! This is a super exciting blog hop for us as the new Idea Book and Catalogue is full of new ah-may-zing products!
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.
If you have been following along the blog hop, you will have come from
Kathryn's blog... If you are starting here, there's a full list of the blog hop at the bottom of this page, and each blog will have links to the next one.
So my projects today are actually what I showcased at the Perth Heartfelt Event a couple of weeks ago. I did give a sneak peek of this outfit on an earlier post this month but I've been saving the details for this blog hop! If you missed the post, there's a few other pics from the event
here.
This first shirt has been made with the Floral District Fabric and the fabric adhesive. I love how easy it was to decorate this shirt, I added a flower cut using the Big Shot and the Flower Folds XL Die. The button in the centre is a self covering button from a shop that shall remain nameless but rhymes with "totnight"
Then of course, there was 2 other pieces of co-ordinating fabric left so I just had to make a skirt - with no pattern might I add (yes I'm a little proud of myself on this fact), and I still have 1 piece of fabric left over.
For this flower, I printed out one of the digital stamps from the Comfort Cafe Digital Collection and created a stencil from it. I traced the stencil onto the back of the fabric adhesive and cut out the shape with some super sharp scissors. Add a circle of felt (cut using the Circles #2 die) and one of the new Naturals Buttons handstitched onto the short.
And of course, every girl is going to need a matching headband right? This is another thing I've whipped up with no pattern. There's some elastic enclosed in headband to scrunch it up and make it stretchy.
Another new product I have been playing with is the new Digital Collections Disc. I'm lucky enough to have the "Comfort Cafe" & "Floral District" Discs (which accidently on purpose matches the fabrics I used above). I designed these little totes bags, they are just the perfect size for the tshirts to be folded/rolled up and placed inside.
Please let me know if you are interested in a template and I will make one up.
Well, that's it from me, if you go visit
Jane's blog, you'll have some more projects to
drool over be inspired by :)
