Hi there.  Welcome to addinktive designs and the latest CASEing the Catty Blog Hop !  The CTC Crew are a group of SU demonstrators that are CASEing their way through the latest Stampin' Up! Catalogue and this week we are checking out the ' Love and Sympathy ' section.  Did you 'feel the love' from Rachel's beautiful project?  Now we're switching to a sympathy card; unfortunately I have a couple of these to make this week. My CTC Card is a CASE from Page 25 of the Catty -     Project Recipe: Stamp Sets:   Thoughts and Prayers, Awesomely Artistic, Choose Happiness Ink:   Crumb Cake, Island Indigo, Early Espresso Card Stock:   Crumb Cake, Island Indigo Accessories:   Tea Lace Paper Doily, Stacked with Love Designer Washi (retired), Natural Linen Thread, Basic Metal Buttons - Gold, Lots of Labels Framelits, Stampin' Dimensionals Here's the source of my inspiration -       ...

Making a card for a bloke is always a tricky assignment for me.  I much prefer adding girly embellishments, pretty pastels and ribbon.  However, I was given the task of making a farewell card for one of our male work colleagues; knowing that he really loves his coffee and isn't a half bad soccer player to boot, this idea seemed appropriate -       A cutting file from the Silhouette Store, the Hexagon Hive Die and a great sentiment from the World of Dreams Stamp Set, made a good combo for a quick and easy card. Thanks for stopping by,

Hi there, today I am playing along with the first Throw Down Challenge at TGIF Challenges .    #tgifctd01 Here's the Brief -      I love the idea of throwing a few Stampin' Up! products out there and seeing what you can make from a selected combination.  I don't have the Work of Art Stamp Set or the Hello You Thinlits ... yet ;) so that left me with the remaining four to make something from - Gold Foil, Butterfly Thinlits, Blushing Bride and Blackberry Bliss Ink.  The 'gold' trend is a favourite of mine at the moment as well as the new Watercolor Wings Stamp Set, so I made a butterfly easel card similar to one I created a few days ago.     If you haven't checked out the latest TGIF Challenge Blog , you really should; lots of wonderful talent and gorgeous paper craft samples on display. Thanks for stopping by,

Hubby's Birthday Card   It's my hubby's birthday today; he really enjoys kayaking so I made a shadow box card using some Silhouette cutting files, SU card stock and stamps.   Main colour palette:  Pacific Point, Basic Black and Tip Top Taupe      Thanks for stopping by,

Hi there!  Welcome to addINKtive designs ; my little corner of the Paper Craft World.  Today I got to play with some brand new goodies that arrived in the big brown box a few days ago and making a new butterfly easel card was my first priority. My holiday break is only three weeks away so I have started to put together some ideas for future stamp class projects and have written a tutorial for a butterfly easel card that uses a combination of the new Bold Butterfly Framelits and the Butterflies Thinlits Dies , combined with the gorgeous new stamp set, Watercolor Wings .
