You’ve either just arrived here by magic, or you’re still stunned at the magic projects that SONIA had to show you on her blog, but either way, I hope you’re ready for the ESAD Christmas in July Blog Hop!
What is ESAD?
ESAD stands for Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators and it is an online group just for Australian and New Zealand demonstrators for Stampin’ Up!
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 its 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.
SO LET’S GET HOPPING!
I just wanted to share a couple of simple projects for you to create when you need to whip up a little gift for those people that we want to acknowledge without breaking the bank. Everyone loves chocolate (well, almost everyone), so that’s always a great gift to have on hand at Christmas time for those last minute gifts.
Here are two projects that I put together to show you how fast and economical your gifts can be (and they are even easy enough that the kids can help you put them together for their teachers too!!) By adding pretty wrapping and embellishments you can have a gift that is big on Christmas wishes and small on budget – a perfect combo!!
A cute little box made with the Scallop Envelope Big Shot Die, add a few Twix wrapped with Holiday Treasures designer paper - for less than $2 you have a lovely little gift to give to someone to let you know you are thinking of them at Christmas (or anytime of the year for that matter!)
It’s all in the wrapping! A $10 box of Ferrero Rocher wrapped in our fabulous Holiday Treasures designer paper and add some ribbon and one of those fabulous hat pins from the Pretties kit and you have a really classy looking gift!
By now I’m sure that you have left me a comment to let me know what you think of these ideas, so now you get to go and hang with NIKKI SADLER to see the fabulous projects she’s prepared for us today!

my kind of projects, they look fabulous!
Great ideas and especially knowing that Twixs fit nicely I find it hard finding things to put in boxes etc that are the right size. I like simple and economical Vicki :-).

Love your ideas, Sharlene - thanks for the inspiration!
Nothing like hand packaging for yummy chocolates. Great idea.
Hi Sharlene, Lovely to meet you last month! I can see that you love the Curly Label Punch Bundle too.
Thanks for the inspiration: I have bought a box of Ferrero Rocher to wrap: now to avoid the temptation of eating them.
