ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi everyone.  Are you ready for another awesome challenge at SUO ? It's all about 'Stamping in the Background' .  I've actually used two background stamps - Woodgrain and Dictionary but you can use any SU stamps to make up your background, or where you would normally add DSP.  Check out the challenge site if you need more clarification on the theme for this week. SUO #98 - Stamping in the Background As you can see from my card and the snazzy new project recipe below, I have used a combination of digital punches (cut out with my Silhouette Cameo ) and traditional dies and stamps. I had originally planned to use this card as my swap for South Pacific's Inspire, Create, Share Event but I ran out of time to devote to mass producing the design.  In reflection, that was probably a blessing :) I hope I have inspired you to play along over the next fortnight and share your 'Stamping in the Background' projects with us.  Don't be 'shy'...

It's a Birds, Bees and Butterflies Theme at SUO Challenges this fortnight.  I went with Bees and Butterflies for my new style of easel card.  I guess you could call it an Oval Accent Step Easel Card .     I had a bit of an idea in my head about how I thought this card would 'look' but it just evolved as I went along and turned out quite different to how I had imagined. It's a bit quirky but I'm happy with the result and hope to do a tutorial on how to make this Step Easel using the Oval Accent Bigz Clear Die .

I love going to the mail box and finding some happy mail instead of the usual bills and department store catalogues.  Check out what was in my mail yesterday (big grin) - H2 Designs         I loved having a catch up time with Lynne and Helen on the weekend.  Thanks so much ladies for a great afternoon - the chats, the Tim Tams, the carrot cake ... I'm one spoilt girl, don't you think?  

Hi there!  If you follow my blog you will know that I love making fun shaped cards, especially easel cards.  This design has been in my head for a while and I held off making it until this week because it just so happens to fit in perfectly with the Banner Fun Challenge at SUO .     A Double Scalloped Tag Topper Easel Card for SUO #91        Side View    Back View    Inside View     Folds into a Standard Size Card Envelope (C6) The Fringe Scissors make it easy to add some 'grass' to the card.  Did you also notice the three SALE-A-BRATION goodies (one free for every $90 you spend) that were used in the making of this card? Sweet Sorbet DSP Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack Banner Punch Happy SALE-A-BRATION everyone!  It's one of the most 'fun times' on the Stampin' Up! ® calendar.
