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).

Happy crafting for 2016!

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

Card in a Box - Ornate Baby Crib Tutorial

Hi there and welcome to addINKtive designs.  I have a new Baby Crib Card to share with you.  It's the third design and is actually a combination of ideas from the first two.  This one has different inserts and is a bit easier and quicker to construct.

In June I created the 'girly pink' version for a competition that Stampin' Up! ® was running called #punchitup and have been meaning to write a tutorial ever since.  It's been in the 'draft' phase for a while but a very lovely friend and work colleague of mine recently had a baby boy, so it was a good opportunity to make another card and finish off the tutorial.

  

I already had some animal images stamped from Zoo Babies and thought adding baby Teyo's name from Little Letters Thinlits would be a nice touch. It was great to be able to construct this card from the new Thick Whisper White Card Stock; a great addition to the SU range!

  

I really love how it folds flat for posting but easily opens up to form this cute 3D card.  If you would like to purchase the instructions just click on the tab at the top of my blog - My Tutorials for Sale.

Choose Happiness

 Colour Palette - Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke, Perfect Plum, Bermuda Bay

This is the new card that I made to enable me to write and photograph the steps for the tutorial; it involved a bit of fussy cutting with the Choose Happiness stamp set.  However, the measurements (in inches) and construction are the same as the original design featured below.

Petite Petals

This is the original design which you can see in more detail in my post for The Stamp Review Blog Hop.

When recreating this card you could use a different embossing folder, floral stamp set and 'leaf' punch or die.  However, the measurements and instructions in the tutorial are specifically written for the Stampin' Up! Envelope Liners Framelits.
