ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi there. Welcome to addINKtive designs. My lovely blogging friend and fellow Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrator,  Heidi Weaver  from Alberta, Canada, invited me to be a Guest Designer for  Watercooler Wednesday Challenges . DT Member, Gail has a  Special Fold Challenge  for  WWC96  and as I love to do  Fancy Folds , I was quick to jump in. Thanks, Heidi for the honour of joining you and your team this week. I took inspiration from the lovely and talented, Kelly Kent, a fellow Aussie SU Demonstrator. She made a very cool  Z-Fold Sliding Tractor Card  and I thought it was so creative to combine the z-fold with a slider! Of course I had to add a pop-up section in the middle and have used the cute truck image from  Tasty Trucks.

Today I have a fun baby card to share with you. This is another one to add to my obsession with z-folds! The base and crib of my   Baby Fiesta Card  is constructed in the same way as the  Z-Fold Baby Crib Card   that is featured  HERE ; I just made this one a little taller (5-1/2") and you will need to make a matching envelope for a 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" card using the  Envelope Punch Board . Inspired by the gifts - See the full blog post here -  https://addinktivedesigns.com/2016/11/13/baby-fiesta/

Today I have another cute little chocolate holder to share with you.  It was made for my On-Stage, roomie,  Annette, as a thank you gift for organising accommodation for me in Brisbane. Inside you can see the cute little round Santa chocolate and the holder has been personalised with a red glittery wooden 'A' from a craft set my son bought me last Christmas from  Typo . I have instructions for this type of chocolate holder in my  tutorial shop .  You can see the full blog post here -  https://addinktivedesigns.com/2016/11/12/christmas-teddy-chocolate-holder/  

 I  created a couple of owls using a combination of dies and stamps from the bundle - Then I stepped them up a notch by adding some accents from the coordinating DSP - See the full blog post here - https://addinktivedesigns.com/2016/11/07/the-stamp-review-crew-paisleys-and-posies/

I came up with the idea to use dies from the  Lots of Labels Framelits Dies  to save a bit of cutting out time and in the process created a  new card fold . I've called it a  Labels Double Z-Fold Box Card.  I have written a tutorial and you can find it in my  Tutorial Shop . I ended up making four designs so the production line was a little more interesting. See the full blog post here - https://addinktivedesigns.com/2016/11/01/my-swaps-for-on-stage-live-in-brisbane/
