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.

Anyway, on with the show!!

SCALLOP SQUARE DIE


I had planned to show you a quilt that I am working on, but I managed to kill my needle yesterday and haven’t finished, so you will have to drop back in next week to see that, so instead here is a few other projects with the fabulous Scallop Square Big Shot die that we have just got in the new mini catalogue:

SCALLOP SQUARE BOX AND NOTECARDS

How easy is this for a cute little gift?  Use the Scallop square on top and bottom of your box.

I’ve even made some matching gift cards to go inside with the scallop square as well.  Just score your card and then place it on the corner of your scallop square to give you the scallops around 2 sides of your card.  I put 2 folded cards thru at once (4 layers of cardstock) with no problem at all.

AVIARY CALENDAR AND PHOTO ALBUM

Aren’t these little birdies the cutest thing ever?  I’m just loving them already!  I created a little photo / calendar album with the scallop square.  Don’t cut all your pieces separately, stick the cardstock and designer paper to the front of your chipboard and run them through together.  No more lining up after the fact – this is as easy as it gets!!  Before you stick a scallop square on the back of your chipboard, adhere some ribbon to add “hinges” to your album and then stick the final squares in place on the back of your album and voila, a cute gift to give someone special!!

Now jump on over to Gail’s blog to see what fabulous things she’s prepared for us all to check out!!

If you don’t have your own demonstrator, give me a call on (06) 753-5337 or e-mail on stampwithsharlene@hotmail.com and I would be happy to drop a mini catalogue in the mail to you.  If you have checked it out online and just HAVE to have anything (or everything) in the catalogue, then I would be happy to place an order for you as well.  Ask me about my customer loyalty programme …

Keep on stampin’!
