ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi there!  Welcome to another CASEing the Catty Sunday Night Blog Hop .  This round we are CASEing (copying and selectively editing) something that takes our interest from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue . The card that I am sharing tonight is not really my usual style - I rarely do masculine cards or cards that are 'flat' or quick and easy to make.  I usually do pretty, feminine, 3D and complicated! ... LOL My downline, De Arn, lent me this SAB set, Sky is the Limit and lots of other new sets and dies for a week over the summer break; so I made the most of the opportunity and whipped up quite a few cards in that time. I will return the favour very soon as I'm now a busy bee back at work for the start of a new school year. For my card I CASED the layout on page 18 (Hello card with Butterflies) and used the colour combo on page 16 - Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral and Black . Thanks so much for hopping by and supporting the CTC Blog Hop! Up next is Tricia...

Welcome back to the second CTC Blog Hop for 2016.  This week the crew are choosing to CASE (copy and selectively edit) any project from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue . What is Sale-A-Bration?  In a nutshell it means FREE STUFF!  There's extra benefits if you join Stampin' Up!, there's incentives for demonstrators and a pre-order period, plus a free product for every $90 you spend (a whole booklet of choices). Tonight I have chosen to feature the Free SAB Stamp Set, Flowering Fields and matching Wildflower Fields DSP and have CASED the cute little gift bag on page 13 of the SAB Catty but made a double pocket card instead.     The pockets on the front of the card hold a little stamped tag and a coffee bag.     There's a few different versions of the Double Pocket Card out there but I tend to follow this tutorial on You Tube but use an A4 size piece of DSP instead and attach the finished 'pockets' to a card front. ...

Yep, you read that right .. it's FREE! Last night I made a gift box using a brand new Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Brations stamp set - I'm in LOVE with the line art images from Flowering Fields .  The gift box was CASED from our demonstrator magazine called Stampin' Success and I then I made a matching card.  The best bit is that I got to hang out with one of my team members and we spent an evening checking out all the new goodies from the new Occasions and SAB Catalogues that we had acquired in the pre-order time for demonstrators.  My good friend, De Arn even left five stamp sets and two dies sets for me to play with while she and her family spend the next few days camping.  I know I will return the favour when she gets back from her holiday. Keep reading if you would like to know how you can get your hands on this gorgeous set and/or lots of other FREE stuff during Sale-a-Bration!    Can you spy some other goodies on the cover of the new SAB Catty...

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!
