AddINKtive Designs Team June Projects

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Hope you are well. I have a few creations to share with you today, all designed for this months AddINKtive Designs Team Monthly Highlights.

I totally love being part of this crazy talented Design Team, and look forward to all the creative projects the Ladies at AddINKtive Designs make each month. We also have very some very talented new additions to the AddINKtive Design Team family - Welcome to Nicole Wilson, Kim Oliver, Jerim Dickins and Katrina Duffell. If you don't already follow them be sure to look up their blogs as they are all super creative and inspiring.

I have made two pocket cards and a shadow box card using all new products from the Annual Catalogue. The options for decorating Pocket Cards are endless and I love that there are two surfaces to decorate. You can decorate the Belly Band with embellishments like the first sample or add a card front to the Pocket Card and go from there. If you would like to make one of these types of cards, visit the AddINKtive Designs Tutorial Shop here.

The first pocket card uses the gorgeous Floral Frames stamp set. I have fussy cut the large stamped image after colouring. The smaller stamped floral images were coloured and die cut using the coordinating Foliage Frame Framelits. From whisper white card, the large frame in the Stitched Labels Framelits was die cut and adhered to the black belly band with some bakers twine attached at either end. The stamped images were attached over the large frame and belly bend using a combination of Tombow and mini dimensionals.

The second pocket card uses the wonderfully versatile Tropical Chic Bundle. I have used Pineapple Punch, Granite Grey and Powder Pink inks for the stamped images along with card stock in Whisper White, Granite Grey, Pineapple Punch and Silver Foil.

The little arrows on the circular tab punch are from a dream catcher made using the Chase Your Dreams Framelits. Again, I have used the large frame created using the Stitched Labels Framelits for the base of the tropical arrangement. A stamped card front was attached to the Pocket card base, then the decorated belly band is slipped over the top. Don't forget to decorate the inside of your Pocket Cards or as my daughter says ' Don't forget to slip in a gift card' lol.

My third project uses one of my absolute favourite AddINKtive Designs tutorials - The Shadow Box card. It is incredibly easy to make and construct the base card and the options for decorating a limited to your creativity. You can find the tutorial for this card and so many other amazing fancy fold card designs here.

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time, stay crafty
