ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

My niece needed a card for one of the optometrists at her work as she is moving back home to Brisbane.  This was the 'design brief' - I want an extra special card for everyone to write in It needs to be A5 size or a little bigger and say something along the lines of "good luck with your new adventure" As hipster as possible She likes mustard, grey and navy blue tones Thanks to a great Silhouette Cutting File and some awesome SU stamps, embossing folders and DSP, I think I managed to tick all the boxes; very hipster don't you think?  You can't go wrong with chevrons!    Colour Palette - Basic Gray, Delightful Dijon and Night of Navy   To complete the project, a very large envelope was made using the Envelope Punch Board - such an awesome tool! Thanks for stopping by,

Making a card for a bloke is always a tricky assignment for me.  I much prefer adding girly embellishments, pretty pastels and ribbon.  However, I was given the task of making a farewell card for one of our male work colleagues; knowing that he really loves his coffee and isn't a half bad soccer player to boot, this idea seemed appropriate -       A cutting file from the Silhouette Store, the Hexagon Hive Die and a great sentiment from the World of Dreams Stamp Set, made a good combo for a quick and easy card.

Hubby's Birthday Card   It's my hubby's birthday today; he really enjoys kayaking so I made a shadow box card using some Silhouette cutting files, SU card stock and stamps.   Main colour palette:  Pacific Point, Basic Black and Tip Top Taupe      Thanks for stopping by,

Hi there, just popping in with a quick post to let you know that Paper Crafter's Library featured one of the latest trends, 'Feathers', in one of their blog posts this week.  It was a buzz to share my Project Life Confetti Pocket   with PCL, along with Helen , a good friend of mine, whose emboss resist feather card is just gorgeous. Here's my project that was featured -      The gold feather inside the confetti pocket is a MDS digital download called Feathered Woodcuts and was e-cut using my Silhouette Cameo.

I made a blue version for my brother's 50th on the weekend and made a spare set using Real Red Polka Dot DSP.      The Card   The Gift Box      The Gift Box could also be used as a Card Holder  

My brother turned 50 today and we celebrated his 'milestone' birthday at the Fifties Diner  in Deloraine.  His hobby is restoring wooden vintage caravans so when I spotted these cutting files in the Silhouette Store , I just had to make a set for his birthday. Happy Birthday, Andrew!   The Card        I made a little gift card holder for inside the card.   The Gift Box       The colour scheme is Marina Mist, Real Red, Basic Black and Whisper White.  I used some Polka Dot DSP and ribbon from my retired stash and filled the little gift box with Jelly Bellies, Starburst Berries and Cola lollies.  A while back I bought him an early birthday pressie (a book on vintage caravans) which inspired this card -    http://addinktivedesigns.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/scalloped-tag-easel-card-with-punch-art.html   Thanks for visiting.  I've shown you the b...

Wowee! Life has been hectic lately but I'm so pleased that I managed to get this project completed in time for SUO 103 .  This fortnight we are challenging you to make a project using Geometric Shapes and to 'move away' from the usual rectangles and squares that tend to feature in many paper craft projects. I went with a Hexagon Theme with my 3D download, DSP, die, stamp, punch and tag!        I just love the Cool Like That Giftable Templates and have waited to share the six sided box with lid so I could feature if for this challenge. I'm pretty chuffed with how it turned out. As many of you know, I am passionate about using MDS downloads with my e-cutter. It's fun and the possibilities are endless. I hope I have inspired you to play along with our Geometric Shapes Challenge over at SUO.     Design Team Blogs - SUO Challenge Blog Bronwyn Eastley Connie Babbert Julie Gearinger Justin Krieger Karen Barber ...
