ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

This is just a quick update to let you know that still add INK tive is up and running again.  I hesitate calling it a challenge blog because it is best described as a 'home' for a collection of inspiring projects that feature Stampin' Up! stamp sets and/or accessories. This week I have brought back, 'Spot that Stamp Set' and we are featuring, 'Summer Silhouettes'. I absolutely love the images in the set and so glad it is staying on in the new catalogue which will be released on the 2nd of July, here in Australia. I had better not spend much more time on the internet as I have a craft room to finish tidying and need to unpack and ink up some new pre-order goodies if I get the chance. For any SU supplies, please click on the link below to take you to my on-line store.       Thanks for stopping by,

This week over at still addINKtive challenges we are featuring two gorgeous stamp sets that have matching dies -  Hearts a Flutter   Secret Garden Hop on over to the challenge blog to check out the guidelines.  Your project does not have to be new so if you have made a card, 3D item or a scrapbook layout etc. using either Hearts a Flutter or Secret Garden , go and link it up.  We'd love to see what you have created.

I'm a little sad as it is our last day of Summer :(  We've had some scorching temperatures over the last week but I definitely felt a hint of Autumn in the air today. To mark the end of our Aussie Summer and to wish the warm weather along for those in the Northern Hemisphere, we have two 'beach' stamp sets that we are featuring at still addINKtive for our Spot that Stamp Set Challenge. Hop on over to the challenge blog to check out the guidelines.  Your project does not have to be new so if you have made a card or a scrapbook layout etc. using either By the Seashore or By the Tide , go and link it up.  We'd love to see what you have created.   By the Seashore By the Tide   I'm also a bit sad because if you haven't already noticed, I haven't been able to play along with the challenges at still addINKtive lately, mainly because work is consuming most of my spare time.  Don't get me wrong, I love my job as a Kindy/Prep...

This week at still addINKtive we are featuring three SALE-A-BRATION Stampin' Up! ® Stamp Sets,  Patterned Occasions, Pretty Petites and Bloomin' Marvellous.  Hop on over to the challenge site to read more about our special SAB Week and how you can join in on the fun! I chose to use the cute elephant image from Patterned Occasions and make a Double Pocket Card to hold a couple of tags. Please keep reading as I have included quite a few links to some interesting tutorials. SAB Double Pocket Card Did you spot that cute, tiny, double bow? It's made from weaving ribbon through a small fork.  I spotted the idea on Pinterest and you can follow the tutorial HERE .    Instructions on how to make a basic Double Pocket Card from DSP can be found HERE on You Tube . Enjoy! Here's a link to the first Double Pocket Card I made (SU) - http://addinktivedesigns.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/jai-92-just-add-tag-or-bookmark.html Here's a post about ho...

It's  Week 2 at still addINKtive where we feature a Stampin' Up! Stamp Set and this week Kathy has chosen, Forever Young . This is not a challenge week but we're asking that you link up any projects that you have created using that set.  This means either old or new projects, with a limit of 3 links per blog or web site, are welcome.  Some other blogs call this a 'Linky Party' or a 'Product Blog Hop' but we are calling it - Spot that Stamp Set. So here's what you can do this week - Create a brand new project using the SU set, Forever Young and/or ... Link up any past projects that you have made using this set. If you spot a gorgeous creation in Blog Land that has used any of the images from Forever Young , why don't you email the creator and ask them to link up their post to here.  I'm sure they'd be flattered to have the recognition. Sit back with a cuppa and go for a little blog hop to get some great inspiration...
