ESAD-SU Blog Hop!
Welcome to the ESAD-SU blog hop featuring items from the new Sale-a-bration Mini Catalogue which is available from Monday 25th January. As you may or may not know, Sale-a-bration with Stampin’ Up! means MORE FREE stamp sets! For every $100 in product (not including shipping) you spend, you get to choose a free stamp set from the Sale-a-bration Mini Catalogue. There are also extra benefits for hostesses and those who would like to join the Stampin’ Up! family. I think this year there are some gorgeous sets to choose from. If you follow the whole blog hop (a mere 40 odd blogs!!!), and comment on EACH one, you will go into the draw for some great SU blog candy (yeah, FREE stuff). Just email Leonie (head honcho!) leonie@stamp-a-latte.com to let her know you have commented on each blog and to pop you into the draw!
ESAD-SU is a very special group of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators based in Australia/New Zealand, who support each other through a yahoo based group/forum, as well as a live ‘ning’ chat and special challenges. If you’re an Australian (or NZ) demo, simply click on this link and you can be part of the fun! If you’re interested in becoming a demonstrator for Stampin’ Up!, email me andrea.eppingstall@gmail.com or click on my Stampin’ Up! Website here.
My blog hop focuses on “Whimsical Words” stamp set from the new Sale-a-bration Mini. I think it is a fabulous ‘word’ set to have to finish
off your card or scrap page. The first card features one of our ‘heart’ punches (RRP $30.95) which is great for St Valentine’s Day. I have used real red, chocolate chip, individual real red and choc chip markers applied direct to rubber, and of course SU dimensionals, and choc chip ribbon. The ‘green tree’ card is made of old olive, chocolate chip colours. The leaves on the tree are close to cocoa. The tree is from the set ‘Thoughts and Prayers’ and the rabbit is from the set ‘Forest Friends’ which was from the spring mini catalogue. Punches include the ‘photo corners’ punch, and the designer label punch. Choc chip ribbon finishes it off. The grass was made by ‘ripping’ some old olive and then placing it under the tree.
The ‘You’re too kind’ stamp is set on close to cocoa, choc chip (yep, they’re my favourites in case you didn’t already guess!!), with a background stamp (which has french script writing) onto very vanilla cardstock.

The card with ‘the more candles, the bigger the wish’ is made with ruby red, choc chip, close to cocoa, choc chip ribbon, and ‘roughing’ up the edges with the SU distress tool. I’ve also popped some dazzlin diamonds on the flower (flower is from Razzle Dazzle stamp set), but it’s a little hard to see in the photo.
A small note card finishes up my samples. It’s sentiment ‘happiness always’, cardstock is close to cocoa, choc chip, cameo coral. I’ve also used some ‘twine’ to give a texture, and ripped the bottom choc chip cardstock. So quick… so easy!! This stamp set is truly a great one to choose, especially when it’s FREE when you order more than $100 in SU product!!
One of the many reasons to be a demonstrator and be part of our SU family, is that you get the opportunity to ‘pre-order’ some of the goodies, so we can play and share our creations before the products release date. Yep, this means you get to see what you can do with the product, instead of just looking at the samples in the mini catalogue (if you’d like one of these in your hands, or have some questions, and don’t have a demonstrator, please email me at andrea.eppingstall@gmail.com and I’ll mail you one).

Income/Expenses Tracker and Workshop Calculator (designed for SU Demos)
If you are like me, you may have searched for something where you can record all of your SU business income/expenses, ready for the accountant, and to keep an eye on how your business is going.
Not only does the ‘tracker’ track income/expenses as a Stampin’ Up! demo, it also contains a “workshop costs calculator” which allows you to work out how much product it costs you for stamp-a-stacks, make ‘n takes, etc.

This is included FREE when you purchase the tracker for $29.99. Simply click on the paypal link below, and pay by credit card or through your bank account. I will send the tracker to you by email (excel spreadsheet) within 48 hours of cleared payment.
Although it has been designed for those Demonstrators in Australia who don’t have to lodge “BAS” statements, and have less than $70,000 turnover (and therefore not registered for GST), demos in New Zealand and the UK have found it useful!
The tracker is an excel spreadsheet, consisting of a separate sheet for each month, and a yearly summary sheet (see the yearly profit/loss example above). It tracks all income (instant income, classes, card sales, volume rebates) and expenses (costs of business running, product purchased for demo use, postage, etc). I have also included extra info about each topic (when you hover over it with the mouse). It is colour coded (green for income, red for expenses). All you need to do is to enter the appropriate info, and hey presto.. everything is calculated for you!![]()
The tracker is available for $55 $29.99 (payable via paypal or internet transfer). Tracker is available in Excel 2007, and is compatible with Excel 97 – 2003. I offer email troubleshooting and any updates included in the price. Please email me at andrea.eppingstall@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Click on the paypal button below to order today! If you join my team, you will receive it free as part of your welcome package from me!
Christmas (November) Special from Stampin’ Up!
Stampin Up! have released a “Christmas Gift Giving Guide” for November. For every $85 of product purchased from this guide, you get a FREE square scallop punch (valued at $30.95). Click here to view the pdf.

Don’t forget, the current Spring Mini catalogue finishes on 30 November. The “Summer Mini” will be released 1 December and contains some lovely new and fresh goodies! As a demonstrator, we get to have a look and play with these earlier than the 1 December release date! If you would like to receive the new summer mini catalogue in the mail, email me today andrea.eppingstall@gmail.com.
Attention SU Demonstrators….. Workshop costs calculator now available!!
Not only does the ‘tracker’ I developed for SU demos track income and expenses, it also contains a NEWLY developed “workshop costs calculator” which allows you to work out how much product it costs you for stamp-a-stacks, make ‘n takes, etc.
This is included FREE when you purchase the tracker for $29.99 until the end of October. Simply click on this link to go to the page with the paypal link to pay by credit card or through your bank account. The tracker will be sent to you by email (excel spreadsheet) within 48 hours of cleared payment.
Tracker for SU Demos – Special until end August!
Click here and see my current special on the “Income/Expenses Tracker” for SU Demos I developed. I offer unlimited email support, as well as automatic distribution of versions as it changes.

If you want to know anything more, contact me andrea.eppingstall@gmail.com or 0400 0388 33. It’s a great way to make an income and get to ‘play’ and make new friends!
Would you like to get a minimum of 20% off your purchases???
Yes!!
You can join as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator during the month of May (as a hobby demonstrator just for your own discount, or make a business out of it!!) for only $150!!! Usually you have to pay $324 and some of us end up with lots of stuff we’ve already got.
By joining with this offer, you will get scrapbooking supplies for $150, and then every purchase thereafter will be between 20-30% off normal catalogue prices, as well as fantastic access to ‘Demonstrator’ areas, ideas, forums, specials, and free stamp sets!!
Plus you’ll have my support via phone, email, forum and in person if you’re close by!! This is a great opportunity to work from home and work your own hours. There are loads of things you can do without even having to rely on workshops to get sales!! Just ask me! I can send you out a free (obligation free) info kit for you to look at. If you want to go ahead, you’ll need to get an ABN, pay $150 and sign off the paperwork! It’s that easy.
All you need to do, is to email me andrea.eppingstall@gmail.com or call me on 0400 038833. You will need an ABN to sign up (if you have an existing one, you can use that, otherwise you just need your current tax file number, and you can register for ABN online!!), and the signed forms have to get to our Head Office in Sydney by 1 June.
Soooo.. what are you waiting for? Contact me today!! I can’t see this offer being extended or being offered again any time soon!
