Hi there. I have something a bit unique to share with you today; it’s a card in a tin. A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Facebook and came across an advertisement for a Box Theatre Doll House. It got me thinking about how I could create a little scene inside the empty tin… Read More
Hi and welcome to addINKtive designs! This is version number … ‘something or other’ of my Baby Crib Cards. I’ve actually lost count of all the different ones that I’ve designed over the years but this is the first one that includes a spot for a Gift Card Holder. I was really pleased with how… Read More
Hi there. I’m back hopping with The Stamp Review Crew after a very long break! Welcome and thanks for hopping over from Nikki’s blog.

Hello and welcome to my blog. I have a fun card fold to share with you today. It’s an original design and I’ve called it an Extended Double Z-Fold Box Card.

Hi there and Happy Easter Sunday. I made this sweet little Easter Basket a few weeks ago intending it to be my project for The Dimensionals April Tutorial Bundle but I wasn’t happy with the construction and also realised that I’d used a retiring product (Small Blooms Punch). Palm slap! It’s kinda grown on me… Read More
Welcome to AddINKtive Designs; I’m excited to share a couple of fun projects that I’ve been working on over the last few days. I thought it would be cool to make the ‘All Dressed Up’ Purses/Totes into Box Cards. I didn’t think I needed these dies at first but ever since I added them to… Read More
Hi there and welcome to my blog. Today I’m sharing a new Planter Box Card featuring the vibrant poppies die-cut from Poppy Parade Card Stock using the beautiful Poppy Moments Dies. As the construction is slightly different to my previous planter box cards I decided to write a brand new tutorial. Apart from The Dimensionals Tutorial Bundles, I… Read More
Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I have a fun fold to share with you which I’ve called an ‘M-Fold’ with Flaps. It’s another fold I kinda made up as I was preparing card bases for some other projects. At the start of our RV trip up the East Coast of Tasmania, I spent… Read More

If you’ve followed my blog you’ll know that I’m passionate about creating 3D cards and love to teach others the ‘how to’ through my stamp classes and written tutorials. In 2017 a few fellow Stampin’ Up!… Read More
Hi there. Welcome to my blog. It’s the wee hours of the morning here in Australia and I really should be asleep but I’ve been working on my latest card tutorial for a few days now and I wanted to publish the post before I headed to bed. I’ll be back with all the project… Read More
