ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

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'...

It's a Birds, Bees and Butterflies Theme at SUO Challenges this fortnight.  I went with Bees and Butterflies for my new style of easel card.  I guess you could call it an Oval Accent Step Easel Card .     I had a bit of an idea in my head about how I thought this card would 'look' but it just evolved as I went along and turned out quite different to how I had imagined. It's a bit quirky but I'm happy with the result and hope to do a tutorial on how to make this Step Easel using the Oval Accent Bigz Clear Die .

Thanks, Linda - see post #1 Project Recipe: Stamps:  Backyard Basics, Six-Sided Sampler, Woodgrain Ink:  Baked Brown Sugar, So Saffron, Basic Black Card Stock:   So Saffron, Very Vanilla Accessories:   Oval Accent Bigz Clear Die, Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die, Ovals Collection Di...

 Owl Occasions Christmas Tags (made from the Two Tags Die) I've been fiddling around trying to come up with a Team Christmas Swap with my limited supplies of current SU stock.  I did, however, get the very cute, Owl Occasions Stamp Set and some Comfort Cafe DSP that will pass as 'festive' in my re-starter kit and made this mini pack of tags.  The topper is made from the Oval Accents Die and I have used Cherry Cobbler and Lucky Limeade ink and matching ribbon. I think I'll try a couple of other ideas and may end up with a variety of swaps as I'm not fond of mass producing the same design. So, there might be a few other posts that will pop up later in the week if I can find the time to be a bit more adventurous. Thanks for stopping by.
