Happy Sunday friends, Welcome to the ESAD Blog Hop showcasing products from the Stampin’ Up! 2025 January – April Mini Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators located in Australia and New Zealand and together today, we are sharing a range of projects to inspire you.
The Mini Catalogue launched on 7th January and in conjunction with it, we have our Sale-A-Bration promotion which runs through 28th February. With every $100 you spend in an order, you get to choose a FREE PRODUCT from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.
For my creation today I’ve used my favourite suite from the Mini Catalogue. The Storybook Moments suite is a bumper suite with 2 stamp and die bundles, 2 packs of Designer Series Papers, embellishments and ribbons. We also have some gorgeous scrapbooking products that coordinate with this suite.
I layered the cute Designer Series Paper on a panel of Pecan Pie and then Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock On the right hand side I added a strip of embossed Calypso Coral. All this was layered on Basic Beige Cardstock.
I fussy cut the bunny from the DSP sheet and I added some extra detail with Early Espresso, Pecan Pie and Calypso Coral Watercolour Pencils. The carrots and spade were stamped in Early Espresso and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I added some fine detail on the carrots with Watercolour Pencils. This was added to the centre of one of the frames which are in this suite. I layered the oval 3 times to add depth to it.
The tufts of grass (or carrot tops!) were die cut from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock. I used a stamp inked with Pecan Pie to roughly stamp over it and blended some Pecan Pie ink at the base to ‘dirty’ it up.
The base postage stamp was die cut from Fluid 100 Cardstock and I created a wash with the Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker. I loved the look it gave which ended up like the soil. This was offset with a die cut of the same size from the Timeless Plaid DSP. This is a versatile pack of DSP and I just love it because it works with any occasion and has a range of colours, several neutral shades which wouold tone in well with so many projects.
The Calypso Coral base card was distressed on the edges with Pecan Pie ink to blend in with other elements on my project. A bow tied with Linen Thread and some Antique Pearls complete this card.
I hope you have enjoyed this project and look forward to seeing you visit again for more inspiration. Please leave me a comment as you go through to view Tracy Held’s project.

Hello and welcome to the first Around the World on Wednesday blog hop for 2025. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who share inspiration on the 2nd Wedneesday of each month. We always have a fun theme which is carefully selected by our leader, Angie Mckenzie. This month it’s a fun This or That challenge. Hmmm, with new products, there are so many ways to interpret this. The choices are as unlimited as your imagination.
I threw ideas around and finally settled on the Wildflower Designer Series Paper as my base product. I just love this paper which comes in a 12″x12″ pack and includes 2 sheets of die cut images which are perfect for layering and adding to your projects as focal points. I’ve combined several products to create my This or That – Balloons or Beach! This could be Pink or Blue, His or Hers, Elegant or…. Bogan (the poor seagulls) Ha! Ha!
In the Wildflower DSP pack, there are a couple of double-sided sheets that are divided into sections with images and tags. I used a couple of tags and trimmed the top section off so I was left with the rectangle.
SALE-A-BRATION
Until 28th February we have our Sale-A-Bration promotion where you can earn a free product with every $100 order. I’ve used some of these products on my projects.
BALLOON CARD
I wanted to create a soft, party style card and incorporated a few different products. The party hat is from the Day to Celebrate Sale-a-Bration stamp set. This is a really fun set and has a good range of images and sentiments which can be used for cardmaking and scrapbooking.
I added some balloons from the Filled with Fun bundle and a cake from the Attention Shoppers bundle because what’s a party without cake, right? The Starstruck Embossing Folder is another of our Sale-A-Bration offerings and adds to the soft feminine look I wanted on this card.
To complete this card I aded the beautiful Gold Open Weave trim and some sequins from the SAB free product range.
BEACH CARD
I can’t help but smile when I see these seagulls and these are a must-have from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. It’s like you can imagine their personalities and they look so naughty – I love it! I loved the stripes tag that gave a masculine feel to this card. Oh I know, I added Linen Thread and gems and that was the end of that but it could definitely be a guy card.
I incorporated several elements from the Beach Days stamp and die set and some die cut coral from the Beauty of the Deep dies to complete the nautical look.
Both these cards follow the tag sketch on Page 12 of the Mini Catalogue, 2nd row, 5th from the left. These sketches are so useful and can be adapted, as I have done, to suit your project.
Which is your favourite – Beach or Ballons? Let me know in the comments.
I hope you have enjoyed the inspiration shared here today. Next on our hop is the lovely Cheryll Miller. Let’s see what she’s been inspired with this month.
