ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Oh my goodness, when I saw the Live, Love, Grow stamp set with all the cute succulent images and terrarium in the new Stampin' Up! annual catalogue, I almost squealed out loud! I couldn't wait to create a miniature scene and combine my latest craze,the Z-fold, in order to make it 3D. It was actually a lot of fun to work out the colour combos of the succulents which I will list further down in my post but this design does come with a warning - lots of time needed for two-step stamping and fussy cutting all the images!  I was so involved in 'building the scene' that time got away from me last night and the next thing I knew it was 2:30 am.  Just as well I'm on a holiday break and had a nice sleep in this morning :) My lovely friend, De Arn (and member of my team) was the one that clinched the positioning of the 'glass' terrarium as I thought far right would be the best spot; that was until I discovered I liked the addition of card-in-a-box style inserts...

Am I enjoying my holiday break or what?!  I have just discovered my favourite fancy fold ever and have called it a Pop-Up, Z-Fold, Card in a Box (basically a Z-fold with inserts). 1.  Stampin' Royalty have a Fancy Folds Challenge this week so I thought I would play along.  The DT have some amazing examples of fancy folds on their challenge site which I will definitely need to return to and explore a little further :)  Thanks!  Bird's Eye View  A Close Up of the Rows of Seedling Pots       Card folds flat and fits in a standard size (C6 envelope) 2.  Another challenge blog that I love to support is SUO Challenges ; this week their challenge is titled, Delight in Nature.  I get a real buzz out of inking up the Gift from the Garden stamp set and creating little nature scenes and when you team it up with the gorgeous Serene Scenery DSP , it is a match made in 'heaven'.
