ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi there!  Last night I held a Planter Box Card Class for a small group of ladies.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and even though the project appeared quite daunting, my guests were surprised at how easy this 3D card was to make.   I made sure I took some photos of the finished creations to share with you - 1.  Playful Palette Planter Box Card     2.  In Colours Planter Box Card      3.  Pink and a Pop of Pumpkin Pie Planter Box Card     Visit My Tutorials For Sale page to purchase my Spring Planter Box Card Tutorial.

Only two more sleeps until the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue goes live and that means a brand new palette of In Colours to create with. I'm holding a Planter Box Card Class and mini catty launch this Thursday night with a small group of ladies, so naturally I chose to play with the new In Colours.    The base was constructed from Kraft Card Stock and stamped with the Hardwood Background Stamp (Soft Suede Ink).  All other accessories are listed below this post in the Labels Section.           Here's a round up of the Planter Box Cards I have made so far (Yes, I am a tad obsessed) -             Visit My Tutorials For Sale page to purchase my Spring Planter Box Tutorial.

Happy New Year!   This post is just to let you know about my new tutorial that I have for sale -  The five page PDF file contains detailed instructions and photos on how you can make this Oriental Card in a Box which is made from Stampin' Up!'s ® Gift Card Envelope Thinlits , SU stamps, punches and other dies. All the measurements are in inches.

PDF Tutorial           There's a couple of sneak peeks to some brand new items heading our way on the 5th January - Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum Stack (Free SAB item) and Cups and Kettle Framelits Dies (Occasions Catty 2016).  I really love how it folds flat for posting but easily opens up to form an elaborate 3D card.  It's now on it's way to my sister for her birthday (with a gift card in...

Hi there.  Welcome to my blog.  Today I'm entering a challenge over at Seize the Birthday . They always have an 'anything goes' challenge for birthdays in general or you can choose to go along with a 'topping' , which this week is to use the colours, red and white . I've spent a few sessions over the last 3 days putting this card together for my sister's birthday which is on January 1st.  I always think it's pretty cool that every year the whole world waits up for her birthday to happen! My sister's town house has an oriental theme and all her decor is in red, white, black and silver.  She doesn't understand why I spend so long making cards as they only get 'thrown away' (gasp!) and she always tells me I should put my energy into making home decor pieces or practical items that last.  Well, I have made sure this one won't end up in the bin (I hope) as I have made a card/home decor piece/gift card holder all in one!

Hi there and welcome to addINKtive designs.  Today I have a Planter Box Card to share with you.  After a bit of a craft 'slump' three challenges finally got me motivated and back into my craft room ... so a big thank you to all the DT members for their inspiration. This card is similar to the one that I made for mum for Mother's Day but I changed the measurements slightly so it's a little shorter and have included a mini tutorial at the end of this post if you would like to make one too. 1.  Colour Challenge - Global Design Project #005   The colour challenge at the Global Design Project is just perfect for spring and I really, really love the combo!  I have included some Kraft Card Stock as a neutral for the construction of the planter box.  2.  SUO Challenge - #132 Punch It Up     The second challenge that I have entered is at SU Only where the theme is to feature PUNCHES.  Here's my list of Stampin' Up! punc...
