Planter Box Card Class

Hi there!  Last night I held a Planter Box Card Class for a small group of ladies.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and even though the project appeared quite daunting, my guests were surprised at how easy this 3D card was to make.

 

I made sure I took some photos of the finished creations to share with you -

Stampin' Up! In Colours Planter Box Card

Only two more sleeps until the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue goes live and that means a brand new palette of In Colours to create with.

I'm holding a Planter Box Card Class and mini catty launch this Thursday night with a small group of ladies, so naturally I chose to play with the new In Colours. 
 

The base was constructed from Kraft Card Stock and stamped with the Hardwood Background Stamp (Soft Suede Ink).  All other accessories are listed below this post in the Labels Section.

    

   

 Here's a round up of the Planter Box Cards I have made so far (Yes, I am a tad obsessed) -

There's a couple of sneak peeks to some brand new items heading our way on the 5th January - Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack (Free SAB item) and Cups and Kettle Framelits Dies (Occasions Catty 2016). 

I really love how it folds flat for posting but easily opens up to form an elaborate 3D card.  It's now on it's way to my sister for her birthday (with a gift card inside).

If you would like to purchase the instructions just click on the tab at the top of my blog - My Tutorials for Sale.

Happy crafting for 2016!

An Oriental Themed Card in a Box for My Sister's Birthday

Hi there.  Welcome to my blog.  Today I'm entering a challenge over at Seize the Birthday. They always have an 'anything goes' challenge for birthdays in general or you can choose to go along with a 'topping', which this week is to use the colours, red and white.

I've spent a few sessions over the last 3 days putting this card together for my sister's birthday which is on January 1st.  I always think it's pretty cool that every year the whole world waits up for her birthday to happen!

My sister's town house has an oriental theme and all her decor is in red, white, black and silver.  She doesn't understand why I spend so long making cards as they only get 'thrown away' (gasp!) and she always tells me I should put my energy into making home decor pieces or practical items that last.  Well, I have made sure this one won't end up in the bin (I hope) as I have made a card/home decor piece/gift card holder all in one!

Stampin' Up! enthusiasts might be interested in knowing that the card is actually constructed from the Gift Card Envelope Die and there's a couple of sneak peeks to some brand new items heading our way on the 5th January - Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack (Free SAB item) and Cups and Kettle Framelits Dies (Occasions Catty 2016).  I will provide more details in another post when my tutorial is complete.

Folds flat for posting.

This is the first time that I have played along at Seize the Birthday!

 

Thanks!

I'm also linking up at Just Add Ink as they have a Gift Card Theme for challenge #293; the back of my card in the box has a Gift Card Envelope attached as my sister is getting a gift card for one of her favourite clothing stores.

Tip Toe through the Tulips - Small Flowerpot Easel Card

Welcome to addINKtive designs.  I recently entered a watercolouring challenge at Just Us Girls and made a Small Flowerpot Easel Card for my mum's upcoming birthday.  The card was inspired by a recent trip we had to the Tulip Farm at Table Cape.  There were so many photos that I wanted to share on my blog that I decided to write another post.

This easel card is made with SU's Envelope Liners Framelits smallest die and the beautiful tulips stamp is from a retired set called, Blessed Easter.

•  For more details about the card please see my last post here - http://addinktivedesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/just-us-girls-watercolouring-challenge.html

I really appreciate the many crafters all over the globe that purchase my tutorials; the sales help to keep me in SU supplies so I can continue to create and share my ideas with you. My day job keeps me very busy and I have limited time available to hold classes or workshops. So ... thank you!

 I love Spring in Tasmania.  It sure is a beautiful part of the world.
