ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

On Friday night I helped a friend re-launch her SU Business and because the new Thinlits Card Dies were only released last week, I thought it would be great to demo them for the Make 'n' Take . Now ... last week was no ordinary week for me.  To cut a long story short it was EPIC in more ways than one and the whole Make 'n' Take inspiration thing just wasn't happening! In desperation (the night before the workshop) I went to Pinterest and came across a wonderful tutorial via You Tube called, How to Create Awesome Cards with the Card Thinlits Dies by Linda Higgins , a fellow Aussie Demonstrator! All I can say is that Linda saved the day!  Make sure you check out her tutorial as it explains how you can get the extra flap thingy on the right hand side of the card. This card became the actual Make 'n' Take -  Label Card Thinlits Die (Pool Party, Basic Black Card Stock, Modern Medley DSP with a Butterfly from Papillon Potpourri, Pool Party S...

Elena Roussakis is the October Muse at Case Study this week and the challenge is based on her beautiful Matryoshka Doll Cards.   Case Study #161 - Matryoshka Doll Card The cards in the inspiration photo are just gorgeous and so are all the samples from the Case Study DT.  I was inspired to make a card using digital punches. My card pieces were designed using digital downloads (owl, wide oval, scallop oval and circle punches) from MDS and then cut out with my Silhouette Cameo .   The DSP is Garden Gingham, the ribbon is Island Indigo (retired SAB) and the cheeks of the doll have been sponged daubed with some Pink Pirouette Ink . A stamp from Layered Labels was used for the sentiment.     Thanks for stopping by,   PS: A huge thanks to Chupa and the DT at Case Study for this award.  It made my day!

... that's the 81st Challenge for SUO Challenges!  I've been away on a holiday to sunny Brisbane (It was an enjoyable break with 30+ degrees Celsius on most days) and I was itching to get back into my Studio to do some serious paper crafting.  So I set about making a Camera Card mainly because I wanted to crack open some new DSP (I Am Me) and ink up a new stamp set (Notable Notions) . The camera shape is designed using the following SU Digital Punches - Tags For All - Bow Wrap and Tag 4, Circle Punch and Rounded Corner Punch .  It was then cut out with my Silhouette Cameo Electronic Cutting Machine (Basic Gray and Whisper White Card Stock). (More information on how I did this in my previous post). A 1 1/4" Circle Punch was used to cut out the stamped image and an Itty Bitty Punched Circle and Rhinestone were added to complete the look. I hope you get a chance to join in with the challenge to Make Something Masculine at SUO Challenges #81 this w...
