Addinkive Designs has a New Home

Hi crafty peeps,

AddINKtive Designs has moved to a new home.  I've upgraded to a Wordpress website/blog; it still needs some tweaking but has now gone live!  Make sure you check out the new space and subscribe to addinktivedesigns.com so you don't miss any posts.

I'm unsure at this stage whether I will transfer everything over or just keep this blogger site as is.  I'll keep posting here to keep you up to date.

To launch my new site, I have written a tutorial for my Botanical Birdcage, a project that I shared in my last post for The Stamp Review Crew.  See you there!

Thanks for stopping by,

The Stamp Review Crew - Botanical Blooms

Hi there. To kick off the month of August, The Stamp Review Crew are back for another blog hop. This round we are featuring the stamp set, Botanical Blooms.

We are a group of International Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who love to show you lots of creative ways to use your stamps.

For my first project I created some miniature succulents using the stamps and coordinating dies -

1.  Miniature Succulents

On our recent trip to Deloraine I purchased these very cute, miniature, clay pots with the idea in mind to make some paper succulents for this hop.  They are now on display in my craft room and every time I look at them they make me smile, mainly because I know these 'plants' won't die on me and also because I love this hobby obsession of mine and never tire of discovering the versatility of our SU products!

Speaking of versatility, every time I finish a packet of Glue Dots I wonder what I will make from the left over cardboard reels. After seeing a cute bird cage on Pinterest recently, I decided to put my thoughts into action. Mmmm ... I think I need the Best Birds Bundle now.  Anyway, here's my bird cage filled with Botanical Blooms -

I have written a tutorial for this and it will feature in my first post on my new blog!  Yep ... addINKtive designs now has a new home.  I have been working behind the scenes to create a more professional look to my website. I must admit that it has been a steep learning curve but I have enjoyed the challenge and am very excited about how it is all coming together.  It has now gone LIVE!

You can hop back to Jess Williams or forward to Bruno Bertucci. Both are bound to wow you with their amazing creations.
