ESAD stands for Extra Special Australian (and New Zealand) 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.
Anyhow if you have been following the hop you should have just come from lovely Leonie Schroder’s Blog
So here are my projects:
I decided to do another One Sheet Wonder. This time I used 2 of the new In Colours from the Autumn-Winter Mini, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede, along with Pale Plum to make 9 beautiful cards and a matching folder to hold them and their envelopes. Once again Stampin’ Up! have excelled at making sure all their products co-ordinate with one another. I have used the Vintage Vogue Stamp Set, Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Soft Suede Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon and the new Extra Large 2 step Bird Punch.
The first thing I did was to stamp up a sheet of A4 Whisper White Card stock:
and cut it like this:
but you could use a piece of DSP if you prefer. if you are having trouble reading the dimensions here they are:
Card 1 14.8 x 4.5cm
Card 2 14.8 x 4.5cm
Card 3 14.8 x 4.5cm
Card 4 14.8 x 4cm
Card 5 3 pieces 6.5 x 4cm
Card 6 14.8 x 10cm
Card 7 14.8 x 10cm
Card 8 14.8 x 4.5cm
Card 9 4 pieces 3.6 x 3.6cm
Here is a close up of the 9 cards I made with 1 sheet of stamped A4 Whisper White Card:
Card 1, 2 and 3
Card 4, 5 and 6
Card 7, 8 and 9
Here is a close up of the Card Folder:

I hope you like them and it inspires you to get stamping with some of the new products from the Autumn-Winter Mini.

WOW - never thought of making my own DSP! Still soooo… much to learn - thank you very much for sharing! : )
April 7th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
Very inspiring and beautiful cards. Well done! I love making my own decorated A4 paper, but haven’t used them as a OSW. I had better pop into my crafty area on my day off tomorrow for some serious papercraft therapy
Thanks for the inspiration.

Fabulous Linda as always. It’s been ages since I’ve done a one sheet wonder (used to love using In Full Bloom but a lot of colouring) but you’ve inspired me to try it with Vintage Vogue now. All the cards are gorgeous and I love your card box too.
