ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Hi there.  It's the first Monday of the month and that means The Stamp Review Crew are back for another blog hop.  We are a group of International Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who love to show you lots of creative ways to use your stamps.  This round we are featuring the stamp set, I think You're Great . If you get lost along the way, just click on the banner below to take you to the main blog where you will see a list of participants for this round. You will find this stamp set in the Artistic Expression section on page 130 of the annual catty under the heading 'Kissing'! I Think You're Great is also very versatile for lots of other techniques - I have demonstrated the kissing technique (sentiment), repeated stamping for the background, stamping on a die cut (sun's rays) and making your own stamped DSP for some paper piecing (the camper or 'caravan' in Aussie lingo).   I only have one project to share today as I am b...

Hi there!  Welcome to another CASEing the Catty Sunday Night Blog Hop .  This round we are CASEing (copying and selectively editing) something that takes our interest from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue . The card that I am sharing tonight is not really my usual style - I rarely do masculine cards or cards that are 'flat' or quick and easy to make.  I usually do pretty, feminine, 3D and complicated! ... LOL My downline, De Arn, lent me this SAB set, Sky is the Limit and lots of other new sets and dies for a week over the summer break; so I made the most of the opportunity and whipped up quite a few cards in that time. I will return the favour very soon as I'm now a busy bee back at work for the start of a new school year. For my card I CASED the layout on page 18 (Hello card with Butterflies) and used the colour combo on page 16 - Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral and Black . Thanks so much for hopping by and supporting the CTC Blog Hop! Up next is Tricia...

Hi there.  Welcome to addINKtive designs.   I've made a mini treat bag for the third challenge at The Colour Tree and had a lot of fun colouring in the beautiful stamped image from Birthday Blooms with the Gold Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.  The rose has an ornamental look about it and is super glittery under the lights; it's a shame that the photos don't do it justice.     I hope the colour combo inspires you to ink up and link up at TCTC #3 this week!
