ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi there.  I've been eying off some great examples of Z-fold, pop-up cards on Pinterest and thought it would be fun to make one.  I tweaked the basic design a little by adding some inserts; the ones you use in card-in-a-box style cards.  So I've called my take on this fun fold, a Pop-Up, Z-Fold, Card in a Box! - It's a crate full of summer strawberries with some home-made strawberry jam sitting on the kitchen bench. Summer Strawberries   This card was made for a dear friend's birthday and I'm also entering it into two card challenges - JAI #318 - "Just Add S"    S is for ... strawberries, strawberry jam, straw and summer! Thanks, JAI!   and ...  JUGs #350 - Word Week   Here's a bird's eye view before I added all the stamped strawberries etc. -   Folds flat and fits inside a standard (C6) card size envelope -   Thanks for stopping by, Please note that...

I just love a splattering of sequins on a card and this week at Just Us Girls the theme is to use them somewhere on your project.  Gold and Blushing Bride Sequin Trim were used on this set of cards that I made for some of the 'Leavers' at school. I spotted a card on Pinterest that used the stamp from I Think You're Great as a background to the Beautiful Butterfly Die and loved the idea (Jenny Hayward) .  Each of the background stamps on my cards were sponged with a colour duo and every one features a different embossed background.  ( Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant )   ( Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo )   ( Wild Wasabi and Mossy Meadow ) ( Fluttering, Honeycomb and Elegant Dots Embossing Folders ) Be sure to hop on over to the Just Us Girls Challenge Site and check out the sequined cards.  It's the last challenge for the year before they go on a short break.  Thanks for stopping by,

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...
