ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Just a quick post to show you a couple of cards that I designed for our Envelope Punch Board Class.  I decided to go with the one on the left and chose a masculine theme especially for Father's Day.     If you would like instructions on how to make 'file folder' cards using the EPB, I discovered a site that has a great video tutorial and a free PDF download - http://catherinepooler.com/2013/09/envelope-punch-board-file-folder-video-tutorial/     Have fun!

I've had this idea in my head for ages and when I saw the bright colour combo at Just Add Ink this week, I finally got around to transferring my thoughts onto paper!  One project from the very long list of 'must do's' is now done.  Sometimes I wake up at crazy times in the early hours of the morning with an idea and have to write it down just incase it 'floats' away.  Now I have Mondays off, once again, yay! ... I'm spending a bit more time seeing some of my thoughts turn into actual projects!  This is my second post for today and I have another two almost ready to go - a very productive craft day indeed. JAI 201   This Week's Colour Challenge at JAI   I designed the camera base using a variety of digital punches from MDS (My Digital Studio) and then cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo .  The following diagram shows you what digital punches I used for the mini camera album - Project Recipe: Stamp Set:  Hip Notes (O...

I've always wanted a 'scooter' stamp so I got really brave and pulled out my UNDEFINED Stamp Carving Kit and set about making one for myself! My drawing skills 'suck' so I 'Googled' 'free svg files, scooter' and found this really cool silhouette image of a 1960's Piaggio Vespa , then printed out the image to the size that I wanted, traced around the outline with a pencil and transferred it to the piece of rubber from the UNDEFINED Stamp Carving Kit .  The tools were so easy to use and I was able to produce a slightly modified version of the clip art image (In other words, I left off all the little fiddly bits).     I absolutely LOVE the Thinlits Card Dies and decided to make a flip card to feature my newly stamped scooter image.  It was meant to go in the previous challenge at Just Add Ink but I got a bit busy this week on the work and home front and never got to finish it in time.   There's also lots of sneak peeks of some, ...

I'm having a blast playing with some of my new pre-order stamps and dies and while I'm on a bit of a roll, I thought I would join in with the latest challenge at FUSION .

'Hey There' want to see some sneak peeks and other cool stuff 'cause I just made my first card for the year.  Yay! It's been ages since I ventured into my craft room to stamp.  I was in the middle of cleaning and tidying the kitchen drawers but got distracted by the arrival of some pre-order goodies.  I couldn't believe that my order only took 2 days to arrive.  That must be some sort of record for delivery to Tassie. I honestly didn't know where to begin so I went looking for a couple of challenges to help give me a 'kick start'.  The Colour challenge at CCMC looked like fun and I always love the sketches at Mojo Monday (even though I don't get a chance to join in very often).  So I put the two together and came up with this CAS card - Hey There! for CCMC and Mojo Monday   Create with Connie and Mary Colour Challenge #284 & Mojo Monday #327 & ... then I discovered that Addicted to CAS had a challenge with the...
