ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Here's a couple of cards that I shared at my recent 'Totally Tags' Demo.       For this card, I heat embossed the beautiful corner stamp from Utopia Collection with  white embossing powder, attached it to my dry embossed background, only at the corner edges with double sided tape. I then slid the matching tag inside the pocket that I had created.   This second card has a tag on the inside and is made with the Martha Stewart Double Edge Doily Lace Punch and the Kaiser Craft Collection of Hey Birdie Patterned Papers.

Dynamic Duos #12 - Japanese Doll Tag It's Black Tie Week and Poppy Parade is the colour that Lesley has chosen to team up with Black for our 12th challenge at Dynamic Duos this week.  The Dessert Option is to use Punches. This is another project that I shared at my recent 'Totally Tags' demonstration.  The tag template is from Silhouette (Luggage Tag) and embossed with a CB embossing folder. The colours just led me down the 'Oriental' path so I made a little Japanese Doll from punches.  I have made lots of these for swaps in the past and seeing the dessert option for Dynamic Duos is to use punches this week, I thought I would re-visit this cute little design.

It's the fifth challenge of the month at Dynamic Duos and that means a little diversion from the usual colour mix.  Lesley has chosen Crumb Cake as the challenge colour but the exciting thing is that you get to team it up with a colour of your choice. For my daughter's birthday, which was way back in May, I made a card using Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze because Laura's favourite colour is 'rust'. Laura's Birthday Card for DD #9 - Mix and Match I used one of my cute stamp sets from Technique Tuesday called, 'Life is Good' and made an easel card from SU's Framelit Dies. I really love the 'linen' look that is created when you stamp on textured card stock.  The gorgeous leafy flourish is cut from a Cheery Lynn Die called Mini Fanciful Flourish . The Colour Duo To complete the inside of the card, I used the negative of the die and sponged with Crumb Cake to make a patterned stencil of the leaves.  ...

DD #7 - Happy 'Bird'-day Wow!  How's this for a bright and bold 'Black Tie' event for the 7th challenge at Dynamic Duos ? I love Melon Mambo and it looks stunning teamed with black.  The 'dessert option' this week is to add RIBBON . I love this style of card which I discovered through Pinterest.  You can see the previous one I made, HERE. For today's card I used a Martha Stewart Doily Lace Border Punch for the side panels, adhered 1" Melon Mambo circles behind every 'doily' and added a rhinestone to each centre.  The silhouette image is a die cut purchase from a local craft store. I'm really excited about this colour duo and look forward to seeing many creations in the gallery this week.

  This little Butterfly Easel Card is made from the Cuttlebug Butterfly Die. It is cut from Core'dinations Color Card Stock, embossed with a folder from the CB set and then sanded with the Sand It Tool.  To embellish, I adhered a Kaiser Craft Blossoms Resin Flower to the centre of the butterfly. PS:  Thanks, Grace, for letting me borrow back this die.
