ESAD 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalogue Blog Hop Sneak Peek -



Welcome and thanks for joining us for the ESAD 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue hop showing you a sneak peek. You may have hopped across from Sharon Dalton and I can't wait to see what she has made 
 Just hop to the bottom of the page for a detailed understanding of what ESAD stands for. For a quick overview it is the Australian and New Zealand facebook page for Stampin' Up! demonstrators who love and share stamps, ink & paper creations.
If you get lost the list of participants is at the bottom that will let you click and hop around.

I love the Free  As a Bird stampset that comes as a bundle with the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (this is a mouthful to say quickly) but they are amazing.
I have made three cards using this lovely stampset. The first is the Balmy Blue card below where I cut the branch off so that there was only three birds - I needed it to fit it onto the stitched circle shape.




 This card below is using Soft Suede as the main card with a layer of Petal Pink embossed with the Subtle embossing folder and the birds cut  out with the Stitched Nested Label die.

I embossed the layer of crumbcake and then cut out the nested label piece and slipped in a piece of plain crumbcake - love how you can see the double stitched lines.

These birds are great for colouring in using the Stampin' Up! Blends.

Stitched Nested Labels Dies

Lastly all three cards together

Hope you have enjoyed my sneak peek from the new catalogue of the Free As a Bird Bundle - now it is onto

Until next time
Happy stamping
