It is 1 December so that means it's not only the first day of our new Summer Mini Catalogue, but also time for another ESAD blog hop to showcase all of the wonderful new products from the mini!! If you have been following the hop, then you will have just arrived from the lovely Corina Beyer's blog, but if this is your first encounter with the blog hop, then just follow the link at the bottom of this post and work your way around the other 24 fabulous blogs!
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 fee free to click here to join our wonderful group.
I have created a little gift set for todays blog hop, showcasing the gorgeous new Spice Cake Designer Series Fabric and Spice Cake Buttons!
This cute sleeve stops your fingers from getting burnt holding on to a hot disposable cup. This is the perfect gift for any coffee-addict, and would look especially cute given with a re-usable cup filled with chocolate coated coffee-beans, which is what I have done here!
I am definitely not a sewer, but even I found this easy to make! You can find the instructions and pattern here.
And here is a matching card to give with the gift. As well as the new fabric and buttons, I have also used the new Charming stamp set - also available in the Summer Mini Catalogue.
I was particularly excited when I discovered that the medallion stamp from Charming fitted the 1 1/4" Circle Punch, and that the punch out nestled perfectly into the centre of the Spice Cake buttons!!
Well, that's it from me so now it's time to follow on with the hop, by heading over to check out the wonderful projects from Kelly Nelson!

Lovely projects, I like your idea of the nested button.
Your projects are lovely and I must say I am in love with the Spice cake suite.

I love both of your projects, and it is cool how the button can be a frame for a punch out!
These look great Sharlene. Thanks for the link to this project.
now see Great Minds think alike! I've got a template to make one of these - well probably a couple for me! I just need the time to do it!! lol looking forward to catching up in Canberra :)
Wow they are really nice Sharlene. I love the idea of the cup wrap around, and the use of the big buttons!!
