What is ESAD?
ESAD stands for "Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators"
and it is an on-line group just for Australian and New Zealand Stampin'
Up! demonstrators.
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 it is 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.
It's finally Sale-A-Bration time and I'm excited to say that I am joining in my first ever blog hop to celebrate. If you are not sure what Sale-A-Bration is all about I will explain it all in my next post and if you are not sure what a blog hop is....well....... Myself and a group of super talented demonstrators from Australia and New Zealand have gotten together to showcase projects made with the new Sale-A-Bration goodies. The blog hop is designed so that you can 'hop' from one page to another. You may have come to me from Kelly Nelson's page and are already happily hopping along or have come straight to me and get to start your hop here. Now when you are done looking at my creation just click on the link at the bottom of the page and you will be taken to see Yvonne Walker's fabulous creation.
So without further ado here is my card for you. It is made using the 'Everyday Enchantment' designer series paper (LOVE!!!) and 'Fresh Vintage' stamp set and some of the current In-Colours (Pool Party; Lucky Limeade; Calypso Coral; Poppy Parade & Peach Parfait).
This card is known as a Marquee card or as I like to call it a "Ta-da" card. I first saw a "Ta-da" card when it was demo'ed by the fabulous Bonnie Thurber from Stampin' Up! USA at Convention last year and was well and truly "Wow-ed"!!! I have made one other before for one of our 'A Klass Act' team days and just love them so much. The following photos will show you just why I call it a "Ta-da" card.
This is a photo of the 'belly band' that holds the card together. I added a scallop circle and the butterfly on top made with the double cut shown to us by the gorgeous and super talented Kirsty Brown (if you are reading this Kirsty- hi!!!!). I used the gorgeous Sale-a-bration DSP for both of these.
This is the card without the band showing off the little window inside. Now wait for it...........
As you pull the card open the little window opens and "Ta-da"...................
You see the beautiful stamped image from the 'Fresh Vintage' Sale-A-Bration set in the window. How snazzy is that?!?!?!?! (The sentiment below the window is from the 'Precious Butterflies' hostess set by the way).
So I hoped you enjoyed my Sale-A-Bration celebration card and now for some more SAB crafty fabulous-ness get hopping along to:

I see why you call it a "ta da" card, just beautiful. I haven't tried this card yet so I think it is about time I did. Thanks for sharing.
Wow what an interesting card, no wonder it is called the "Ta Da" card. Very nice.

So pretty!! Love the ta-da card!! Thanks for sharing!
I am yet to perfect this "Ta Da" card. I have tried a couple of times and I have had to strip down the card for reuse in some other project. Or it has landed in the pile in the corner. I dont want to give up on this card though. I wont let it beat me but I dont seem to be able to perfect it yet.

Wow, that's a really awesome version of Bonnie's ta-da card. I haven't been game enough to try it yet, but you sure blitzed it! Well done!
What a really beautiful card - it really is "ta-da". Love how you've combined the two butterly dies on the front. Thanks for the inspiration.
This paper just looks gorgeous in butterflies doesn't it? Lovely projects.
I need to try a Ta-Dah card, yours is just stunning! Love the belly band you made for it too.
Ta-dah indeed!This is such a beautiful card & the ta-dah inside makes it even more special. Love the butterfly detail in front too. Just gorgeous!
