ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

With Father's Day only a week away I thought I would share with you one of the projects we made at our last stamp class.  I have included instructions at the end of the post. Instructions - 1.  Cut the bottle tag base from Basic Black Card Stock - 7 1/2" x 3" (19cms x 7.5cms) 2.  Score at 2 1/2" (6.5cms) for the bend in the tag. 3.  Punch at the centre of both score lines on each side of the tag with your  Envelope Punch Board . 4.  Punch out a circle at the top of the tag using a 1 3/4" Circle Punch. 5.  Cut out a piece of DSP, 4 1/2" x 2 3/4" (11.5 cms x 7 cms) and round the corners using the EPB. 6.  Cut the tag from a piece of Whisper White  Card Stock - 2 1/2" x 2" (6.5cms x 5 cms) and punch the top with the Angle Tag Topper Punch. 7.  Add embellishments to complete your 'wine' tag.  I cut the Burlap Ribbon 4 1/2" (11cms).  The 'DAD' lettering is a digital download ( Alphabet Soup ...

Hi, it's time for another theme at the SUO Challenge Blog  and it's all about ' Bows '.  I thought it would be fun to add a bow to a Post It Note Holder (Sticky Note) as a closure and I used the beautiful new 'Lost Lagoon' Satin Stitched Ribbon . I'm in love with the cute, new Hostess Stamp Set called, 'Hello Love' and decided to crack open some Blendabilities to colour in the sweet little bird image from the set. The cloud is a MDS Digital Punch which was e-cut and then punched out with a 2 1/2" Circle Punch to use as a frame for the bird image.  I was also pretty happy to find a Silhouette cutting file for the post it note holder so I didn't have to cut and score one by hand - gotta love that! I hope I have inspired you to play along with the 'Bows, Bows, Bows Challenge' over at SUO.     Design Team Blogs - SUO Challenge Blog Bronwyn Eastley Connie Babbert Julie Gearinger Justin Krieger Karen Barber...

Hi there.  Sorry that I have been MIA.  It's been a busy couple of weeks at work with major renovations to half the classrooms and getting organised with mid-year reporting.  I'm itching to get my pre-order goodies out of the boxes and onto my craft desk.  Hopefully, I'll have something new to share with you soon. It's just a quick post today to share my Create, Inspire, Share Card Swap that I participated in with the JAI girls.  I also made a little gift box to match the swap for a roomie gift.  You've probably seen a few of these Scalloped Tag Topper sets that I have recently made so I won't go into detail with the project recipe. My South Pacific Convention Swap (Thanks for taking the photo, Nikki)  If you follow my Facebook Page you would have seen lots of photos of our absolutely awesome time in Melbourne.  One of the many highlights was rockin' along to ABBA with Bjorn Again at the after party. Here's one set of pho...

Hi everyone.  Are you ready for another awesome challenge at SUO ? It's all about 'Stamping in the Background' .  I've actually used two background stamps - Woodgrain and Dictionary but you can use any SU stamps to make up your background, or where you would normally add DSP.  Check out the challenge site if you need more clarification on the theme for this week. SUO #98 - Stamping in the Background As you can see from my card and the snazzy new project recipe below, I have used a combination of digital punches (cut out with my Silhouette Cameo ) and traditional dies and stamps. I had originally planned to use this card as my swap for South Pacific's Inspire, Create, Share Event but I ran out of time to devote to mass producing the design.  In reflection, that was probably a blessing :) I hope I have inspired you to play along over the next fortnight and share your 'Stamping in the Background' projects with us.  Don't be 'shy'...
