ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi there and welcome to addINKtive designs . I'm excited to share some Valentine projects in my first blog hop with The Stamp Review Crew .  About Us - We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who want to show you how much you can do with one stamp set. We will feature one stamp set with each blog hop, and each stop on the hop will show you a different idea using that set! However, this time around we have a Valentine theme with no particular stamp set.  It's FREE FOR ALL!   As I don't own any actual Valentine stamp sets I have decided to show you a few projects that can be made with other Stampin' Up! ® stamps.  Their versatility is the reason why I bought them in the first place.  Enjoy!     Project #1 - Stamp Set - @SoSocial     Project Recipe:   Ink:   Strawberry Slush Card Stock:   Note Card from Hip, Hip Hooray Card Kit Accessories:   2013-15 In Colour DSP, Swe...

SUO Challenges have a delicious theme this fortnight, Something Yummy   A few of us on the DT must really like our coffee as we opted to use the super cute Perfect Blend Stamp Set! SUO 97 - Something Yummy (A Coffee Bag and Gift Card Holder) Lately, I've been enjoying making some cards using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch to form the closure.  This time around I flipped it to create a landscape card and added a pouch insert to hold a coffee bag and a gift voucher inside. Aren't those little leaves the cutest?  They are from the Warm Weather Woodcuts (Digital Punch - MDS) and have been e-cut and stamped with the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set. The little flowers and leaves were  sitting on my craft desk left over from the production line of Convention Swaps and I'm so glad I added them to the card at the last minute as they really make it 'pop'. Here's My Project Recipe: Stamp Sets:  Perfect Blend, Petite Petals, Gorgeous Grunge Card S...

I had a little fun experimenting with the Sketch Feature in my Silhouette Cameo the other day. The original idea was to make a coffee cup cutting file using the Perfect Blend Digital Download from MDS, which I did, but then I thought it would be fun to try out my black sketch pen and sketch out a couple of coffee cups for the front and back of the card base.   I'm not sure where this little project will lead but I have ordered a pen attachment so I can use SU Stampin' Write Markers with the sketch feature too!! Looking forward to experimenting with this idea a little further.  Stay tuned. While I was 'playing', I made a little card using a Silhouette download.  Love, love, love owls and this project is the first one I have made using the PRINT and CUT feature, more out of good luck than good management.  Must do some more 'research' on how to do this properly.  I have plenty of tutorials 'pinned' on Pinterest to get me starte...

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...
