ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi there.  Welcome to addINKtive designs. A week ago I made a fold over window card and really loved the design so much so that I wanted to create another.  This time I used LeAnn Greff's Tutorial ; followed her measurements but used a balloon die instead of the circle punch and made this birthday card for one of my nieces. I have used three challenges today for inspiration -   FMS 178, CC 31, AW 37 Challenge #1 - A Sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #178 Challenge #2 - Cupcake Theme at the Card Concept #31   Card Style: Classy and Elegant     Challenge #3 - Around the World Stampin' Up! ® Challenges #37- Confetti       A Fold Over Window Card Confetti stamp from Celebrate Today stamped with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder onto a Window Sheet (acetate). Cupcake Party Stamps and  Cupcake Builder Punch teamed with Birthday Bash Spec...

I'm so glad this week is over as it was one of the busiest that I can recall.  Last weekend I was enjoying South Pacific Convention with friends and we were given so many new toys to play with, but there was no time for me to have any crafting fun since returning home as I was busy preparing for the School Registration Board Review Visit.   Thankfully, that was a really positive experience and today I have been chillaxing and trying out a new digital download and my Calypso Coral Blendabilities Markers (Sneak Peek). FMS 138 I created an ombre effect on the background piece of Whisper White Card Stock by colouring with the Dark , then Medium , then Light Calypso Coral Blendabilities .  The Happy Birthday sentiment is a digital download (a Sneak Peek from the Best Birthday Yet Digital Ensemble ) and was e-cut using my Silhouette Cameo .   The latest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches was perfect for what I wanted to do today.   Blendabilities ar...

I was itching to use some new goodies that arrived in the post this week so I went in search of a good sketch and found Narelle's great design at Freshly Made Sketches . My mojo had taken a 'hike' due to my crazy, busy lifestyle and a very messy craft room.  So ... I cleaned up my craft space and sorted out the new colours and moved the 'retired' products to a new shelf etc. etc.  It was a HUGE job but I like to stamp in a tidy and organised room. I actually made this card last night but hubby was on the computer that I do all my editing on, so left the post until this morning to type up.  As I was scrolling through the blog updates, I checked out today's JAI Challenge so I could plan my next project and couldn't believe it was exactly the same colour combo that I had used - no kidding!!  ... and in case you're wondering, no ... I didn't have any 'inside information'.  How surreal!  So here's a card that is indeed, the perfect blen...
