Holiday Catalogue ESAD blog hop!

Welcome to the ESAD holiday catalogue blog hop!

To celebrate the amazing range of stamps and products in the Holiday catalogue some extra special Australasian demos have created a wonderful array of cards and projects for you to view this weekend.

All you need to do is settle back and hop from one creative blog to another.

Please leave a little comment-love with each blog that you visit and enjoy a relaxing creative journey of ideas to inspire you.

I've selected the Holiday home stamp set to feature on my step of the blog. There are three cute little houses that you can stamp and decorate.

With words and images for a Merry Christmas, Halloween and Happy new home owners too.

The stamp set is made of photo polymer so they will stick to your clear blocks really well!

And you can bend them!!! Take a look at the merry Christmas that I stamped on the label punch.

I've curved the photopolymer around the wreath. It is so cool how they do that.

My card is kept closed by bending the house under the Curly Label punch. Just loving the slate grey with Coastal cabana and soft sky. I painted my house with the Coastal Cabana and Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities. Then added some dazzling diamonds glitter to look like moon light.

My second card is a square format which was quick and easy to make.

This one is to wish some friends a Happy new home !

I stamped the three houses in mossy meadow, cherry cobbler and blackberry bliss then water coloured the mossy meadow house in Hello Honey ink.

I love all the little details in this set, hearts stars and magic sparkles, lamp posts and trees with leaves for autumn and a snow man for winter scenes.

My third project is a CASE (copy and share everything) of a card from Stampin' Up!'s impression magazine. As usual I made it my own with a different greeting, colours and textures.

Here it is close up to show a different way to use the Homemade holiday Framelits. By cutting off the chimney you have an arrow that makes great masculine designs.

I've put the arrows through the textured embossing folders: Arrows, Large Polka dot and Woodgrain.

The stars are from "Holiday Home" and the Happy birthday is from "Tag Talk" stamp set.
