Welcome to addinktive designs and the Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop featuring the Photopolymer Stamp Set, Painted Harvest.
The SRC are a group of International Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators who love to show you lots of creative ways to use your stamps.
If you get lost along the way just click on the banner above to take you to the main blog where you will see a list of participants for this round.
It’s been well over two months since I have hopped along with The Stamp Review Crew. Life has kinda got in the way! However, things are about to change; when this hop goes live I will only have 16 working days left before I retire from my day job as a Principal of a local Christian school … but who’s counting? Me!!! As from 2018, my craft room will become my office. I’m so excited!
Stampin’ Up! for me will switch from a hobby to a business venture. Watch this space!
This stamp set has been in my stash since it was first released in September and because I have been crazy busy making project samples for On Stage in Melbourne, this set hadn’t seen ink until now.
Having eyed off so many beautiful projects made with Painted Harvest, I wasn’t sure what I could do to begin with that would be a little different.
For the first card, I went with an emboss resist technique for the background, a slightly different colour scheme for the ‘sunflowers’ and added some new Berry Burst Paper Ribbon. I just love how the feature flower turned out.
And then … I saw ‘golly doll hair‘ and couldn’t resist making this little fella –
Putting this golly doll together using some fun DSP and the Cookie Cutter Punch was a good excuse to put off the housework for another day. I figured the little ‘hedgehog’ that had exploded onto the Social Media of late, had seen plenty of limelight (although he’s still on my ‘to do list’) and was pleased to think of something new to share for the SRC Blog Hop!
A side note – I’m an Aussie and one of my favourite dolls was a golly which I still have stored away with lots of other childhood memorabilia. Making this card brought back some fond childhood memories. It is not intended to cause offence as golly dolls are still widely available to purchase in Australia, however, calling them by their original name isn’t considered appropriate. Just move on if my card offends you. After all, I don’t get all upset if I see Halloween cards!
I hope my little, punch art, golly doll made you smile and that you’ve been enjoying all the inspiration from the Painted Harvest projects as you hop between the crew member’s blogs. Up next we have the talented, Karen Gooch –

First – congratulations on your pending retirement! How exciting for you. I pray that your next venture with this company blesses you and the crafters you will interact with. It’s a wonderful way to reach people 🙂
Your first card really caught my eye. Beautiful colors and the background is certainly one I’ll want to try right away. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks, Adriana.
Dear Bronwyn,
I really enjoy your Golly doll! He is so funny und seems so joyful. Wonderful! Best wishes for your job switch from scholl to Stampin´Up!!

Thanks, Julia.
I absolutely adore both cards Bron! Your first card is so pretty it made me sigh. I am totally in awe of it. Your second card took me back to my childhood of loving golly’s. I had a toy that I cherished and wished I still had. You are so creative and as always you inspire. So pleased for you that you are going to have so much more time on your hands to do what you love – can’t wait to see your creativeness shine xxx
Thanks, Narelle. I appreciate the ‘love’.
Oh my goodness, Bronwyn, these cards are awesome! Two completely different takes that are just amazing.
I absolutely love both your cards Bronwyn, ❤️ Did you use the cookie cutter punch for your golly doll?? As I would love to case if you have no objections Brenda from Perth xx
Thanks, Brenda. Yes it is and go for it. Check out the product list at the end of the post.
Beautiful and different color choice for your card – and lovely details! Being in America, I have never heard of a golly doll. I’ll have to look it up.
Totally out of the box! AND out of the park! Gorgeous!
Congratulations on your pending retirement!
Two fabulous cards with totally different takes. I must admit at first glance I wasn’t taken by this stamp/punch because I thought it was limited. However you have shown me otherwise today.
Awesome cards. The Kindness flower card is a favorite with this set and is gorgeous!
I love how your brain works! Can’t see more of what it comes up with after you retire! I love both of these cards.
Oh my gosh! Your first card is absolutely breathtaking! And your golly card is adorable! Great cards, Bronwyn! And congrats on your upcoming retirement. You’ll LOVE it!
Here’s to a happy retirement…my husband is done in March…Yay! Quite a different take on this set, two great cards!
Two awesome cards Bron! I adore that super cute and creative golly and the background on your first card is totally jaw dropping! xx
Congrats on your retirement! And I’m sure you’ll do well with SU as well. What could be more fun! Your cards- both of them are wonderful, and I love all the pretty color on the first one. The golly card is adorable – I never had one but now that I see your card it does look familiar to me. LONG LONG TIME AGO! VERY CUTE THO. LOVE THEM BOTH. I look forward to seeing more of your work!
And I just had a friend here for a week from Adelaide!!😍SA
Two great cards Bron – I love how you think! Kelly x
