ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Cute Critters is the theme for the latest challenge at SUO Challenges #145.   My sister asked me to make a special 3D card for a baby boy, so I decided to combine one of my favourite retired stamp sets, Fox and Friends with Zoo Babies to make this baby crib card. I couldn't resist inking up that little owl again and I love how both sets complement each other; so many cute critters on one card!     Thanks for stopping by, Thanks, SUO -

Hi there and welcome to add INK tive designs.  I have a new Baby Crib Card to share with you.  It's the third design and is actually a combination of ideas from the first two.  This one has different inserts and is a bit easier and quicker to construct. In June I created the 'girly pink' version for a competition that Stampin' Up! ® was running called #punchitup and have been meaning to write a tutorial ever since.  It's been in the 'draft' phase for a while but a very lovely friend and work colleague of mine recently had a baby boy, so it was a good opportunity to make another card and finish off the tutorial.    I already had some animal images stamped from Zoo Babies and thought adding baby Teyo's name from Little Letters Thinlits would be a nice touch. It was great to be able to construct this card from the new Thick Whisper White Card Stock ; a great addition to the SU range!    I really love how it folds flat for posting but ...

Hi there!  Stampin' Up! have a Creative Challenge this month to create a project using at least two of the four punches listed below - 130698 - Pansy 133784 - Hearts Border 133785 - Fun Flower 133786 - Sweetheart It's for demonstrators only but you can check out all the fun entries on Pinterest with the hashtag #punchitup.  I have used a few punches to make my Baby Crib Card in a Box but have featured the Hearts Border and Sweetheart Punches for the challenge.       #punchitup   This card also features the cute stamp set, Something for Baby and Baby's First Framelits . This is the third version of my Baby Crib Card in a Box (full length inserts used in this example) and if you'd like to know how to make one for yourself, you can purchase my tutorial HERE . Better still, my tutorial is free for every customer (Aussie residents only) who make a purchase in my on-line store during the month of June, 201...

Hi there.  Welcome to my blog.  Today I am sharing the second Card In a Box - Baby Crib Card that I designed.  There is a slight difference in the way this  Hardwood Baby Crib is constructed compared to the  White Zoo Babies one featured in yesterday's post. Full of the cute little critters from Life in the Forest Stamp Set.    No dies or Big Shot Machine required for this second design, just a paper trimmer and some Stampin' Up! ® punches.   Folds flat into a card sized envelope.     Both designs shown in the above photo are included in my Card in the Box - Baby Crib Tutorial which consists of two, three page tutorials with detailed instructions and photos ($5.00 AUD).   The response in the first 24 hours of its release was beyond amazing!!!  A huge thanks to everyone that purchased the PDF instructions.  I would really LOVE to see what you hav...

Hi there.  Welcome to addINKtive designs .  If you stopped by my blog from the Zoo Babies Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop , you would have spotted a little pink pram that I made from the Curvy Keepsake Die .  As promised, here's a quick tutorial on how to make one, with a few tweaks and a new colour palette.  Curvy Keepsake Pram Tutorial   1. Cut out the two pieces of the Curvy Keepsake Die with your Big Shot and snip off one of the sides with a handle about 3/4" from the score line. 2.  Emboss the two pointy sides with the Argyle Embossing Folder about 3/4" from the base score line to avoid embossing the other sections.   3.  Assemble the box as usual and curve the cut out section towards the insides of the box.   4.  Cut a 'blanket' from DSP (A fraction smaller than 2" x 2") and glue to the inside base of the pram. 5.  Add a handle made from the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch (6-1/2" long). 6....
