ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi and welcome to addINKtive designs and the latest CTC Blog Hop . We are a group of SU Demonstrators that are CASEing (Copying and Sharing Everything) our way through the latest Stampin' Up! Catalogue. For this round, I've decided to join in with the latest challenge at SUO Challenges; #126 is all about using Designer Papers and have used a piece from the Cherry on Top DSP Stack (Cucumber Crush) and one from the Pretty Petals DSP Stack (Pacific Point). CTC 38 - For Kids An Extra Double Flip Card for CTC #38 and SUO #126  My first You Tube Clip (Now with sound effects!) Front Inside This week we are checking out the Kids section of the catty (pages 39-48) and inspiration for my project comes from page 39 - The Colours - Daffodil Delight, Cucumber Crush, Pacific Point and Pumpkin Pie The Stamp Set - No Bones about It The Shapes - Circles and Stars    I followed a tutorial by France Martin on You Tube to learn how to make t...

What a treat! ... I attended an Interactive Card Class last night that two of my 'down-line' organised.  For our first card we did some stamping with an acrylic block; it's a technique that's been around for awhile but I had never got around to trying it.  You just scribble a variety of different coloured Stampin'  Markers onto a large acrylic block, spritz the block and your card stock with water and stamp.  Very cool!  Thanks De Arn (an idea from Sharnee's card class) for demonstrating this technique.  I'm sure I will be stamping with acrylic blocks more often, as I just love the background that it creates.

This week at CTC we are CASE-ing our way through the Kids' section of the Stampin' Up! ® catalogue. I had fun using my new Blendabilities to colour this adorable image which is a sneak peek of the 'Bearing Gifts' Christmas stamp (available 28th August) from the upcoming Holiday Catalogue .     CTC 6 - Kids     As you can see from the above picture, I chose a very clean and simple sketch (CAS) from the second card on page 86. I hope you can join us for CASE-ing the Catty Challenge #6 .  Just find a project between pages 82 and 93 of the Stampin' Up! ® Catalogue that inspires you and get creating!
