ESAD 2017 Retirement List Blog Hop -

Hi Everyone and welcome

to the ESAD 2017 Retirement List Blog hop.

You may have hopped across from
Monique Fielder

At the end is an information box that explains what ESAD is all about.

It is always sad to see the retirement list but then we are always excited for the new product that is coming around the corner.

I have chosen to showcase the Balloon Adventures Bundle (page 4 & 5)

and the Party Animal Designer Series Paper

from the Occasions Catalogue.

I have loved using this bundle and papers!

Now here is my first card

Just love Emerald Envy and Basic Black together

and the DSP.The Whisper White square was 7cm by 7cm

and the Basic Black was 7.4 by 7.4cm.

Maincard was 14.8cm by 21cm scored at 10.5cm

The Basic Black was 14.4cm by10.1cm.

The DSP was 14cm by 9.7cm

Now here is the inside

For my next card I chose a shaker card

using Bright colours.

Handy Hint - I used a bit more of the Foam Adhesive strips by adding some behind the balloons and under the banner as well. This stops the card from sagging and keeps the sprinkles all over the card - not just at the bottom.

Also never start the foam adhesive strips at the bottom - start up the side and then down and around to the other side - stops them falling down!

and for my third card I chose softer colours of
Sweet Sugarplum cardstock for the main card (love this colour) with Very Vanilla as the top layer!
The three layers were main card - 14.8cm by 21cm
Pool Party was 14.4cm by 10.1cm and
Very Vanilla was 14cm by 9.7cm

The balloons both on the front and inside were
Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper, Pool Party
and Sweet Sugarplum.
Now for the inside I used Very Vanilla -
measured as 21cm by 13.7cm. Marked the halfway with a
pencil line softly drawn to ensure I centred the thinlit die and of course used the Magnetic platform with the Big Shot.
