ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi and welcome to our second  Design Team Blog Hop for Create with Connie and Mary Holiday Collection .  I'm thrilled to be a Guest Designer and will be participating in these blog hops each Saturday as well as sharing a tutorial later on, so make sure you subscribe to the Holiday Collection today!  Thanks for 'hopping' here from Natasha's blog . I hope you are enjoying the wonderful card samples that the DT have made. This week I have made a card from the very festive Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper.   It's made to look like gift wrapping, complete with a paper bow made from a 'bow punch' from the 'Tags for All' Digital Kit' (MDS). The card insert slides into a pocket and it's a great design if you wanted to add a gift card to the inside as well.  I'm really enjoying playing with products from the Holiday Catalogue .  I hope you are inspired to join us at Create with Connie and Mary, Holiday Collectio...

Here's my project that was featured -      The gold feather inside the confetti pocket is a MDS digital download called Feathered Woodcuts and was e-cut using my Silhouette Cameo.
