Welcome to the ESAD 2014 Sale-a-bration Blog Hop. Have you had a chance to look over the SAB catalogue yet, if not I suggest you do it before it goes live on Tuesday. Don’t have one – contact me and I’ll pop one in the post for you.
Today I’m excited to be previewing some of the fabulous product you can earn free during Sale-a-bration. starting the end of January.
If you have been following the hop in order you will have come from Gail’s blog #23 on the ESAD Blog Hop. If you get off track at any time you can see the full lineup at the end of this post. Just click on the next link and you’ll be on your way again.
I have two projects to share with you today featuring the gorgeous Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (133521) and the You’re Lovely (133575 wood & 133578 clear) stamp set. The colours in this paper are fantastic, subtle and soft with a hint of black to make them pop. They coordinate beautifully with the stamps sets from the Sale-a-bration catalogue.
First up is a gift card holder which uses the pop’n’cut die as a base.
The gift card slots neatly into a secondary flap inside the card.

My second project is an envelope card. I love the simplicity of a card and envelope all in one and the belly band holds it all together nicely for posting. The cute little Banner punch (133519) also gets a guernsey here – it’s so easy to whip together a banner using patterned paper or pair it with the Banner Blast (133551 wood & 133554 clear) stamp set, also free during Sale-a-bration, for your own unique creation.
I apologise for the poor photography. I was really struggling with these pictures but I’m not quite sure what the problem was. This was the first project I’ve done since returning from my Christmas break so maybe I’m just a little “off my game”. Hopefully it’s not a trend lol!
Make sure you head on over to the next blog on the hop and see what Sally has in store for you. Thanks for visiting and I hope I see you again soon!
Supplies: If you don’t already have your own demonstrator, you can order any of the supplies used to make these projects through my online store. Or if you’d like to host a party and earn yourself some freebies – who doesn’t love freebies right! – contact me and we’ll organise a date.
