How to Make a Birthday Double Z Fold Card

How to Make a Birthday Double Z Fold Card – Bold Bouquet – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln – UK

I love the bright, spring feel of this card. It features Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, these colours are retiring at the end of April. I will miss them. This week on my blog I am featuring all the retiring in-colours as a final goodbye.

This double z-fold card is easy to make. I’ve adjusted the measurements slightly so it is slightly smaller than a standard A6 card. This makes the scoring easier. The card below features the third retiring colour, Orchid Oasis.

How to Make A Rectangle Fold Flat Box

How to Make A Rectangle Fold Flat Box – Bold Bouquet – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love bags and boxes that fold flat for easy storage. This is a rectangular box of quite a good size. It took me a while to figure out the measurements to make it from one sheet of A4 cardstock. I’m pleased with the way it turned out. We made this in April Craft & Chat and it was a hit.

Make a Hedgehog Birthday Card – No Dimension

Make a Hedgehog Birthday Card – No Dimension – Happy Hedgehogs – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I have this happy hedgehog birthday card to share today. This card is flat with no dimension except for the pearls. As the cost of postage is going up, I’ve been looking at making some cards that will go through as a normal letter. Even the addition of the pearls can sometimes increase the postage as it is too thick for a normal letter. I wanted to show with this card that you can make still cute cards with a minimum or no dimension that will go through at the cheapest rate of postage.

How to Create a Hot Air Balloon Spinner Card

How to Create a Hot Air Balloon Spinner Card – Hot Air Balloon – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Spinner cards are such fun. You do need to watch the video to get the full effect. You can find the link below. This card features the Hot Air Balloon bundle. It is a two-step stamp which allows me to mimic the stripey paper in the design of the hot air balloon.

There are two sizes of balloons included in this set. I’ve used the smaller one here. You can also die-cut your balloons instead of stamping them first.

Monochrome Magic: A Panda-Themed Hand-Stamped Card

Monochrome Magic: A Panda-Themed Hand-Stamped Card – Wild & Sweet. Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I have this simple card to share with you today. The whole image is just one stamp. It’s stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black. My idea was for the finished card to look like a pencil sketch, hence no colouring.

The black and white theme makes a striking card. The image pops from the background. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies which have a torn edge effect. This works with the pencil sketch theme of the card.

Kiddin’ Around – How to Use Die Cuts to Make A Child’s Card

Kiddin’ Around – How to Use Die Cuts to Make A Child’s Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I told myself a little story when I designed this card. The child has been busy building his castle using his building blocks. He is now trying to cast a magic spell to make his toy castle into a real one.

All the elements bar the little “wizard” are created using the dies and cardstock. The “wizard” is stamped and die-cut. There is co-ordinating paper and the dies do cut out some of the images. In the example below I’ve used the image from the paper.

Make a Tri Fold Birthday Card with a Flap Opening

Make a Tri Fold Birthday Card with a Flap Opening – Around The Bend Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I created this decorative flap using the Around the Bend Dies. I used the scallop border die to cut the cardbase itself. Then, I used this decorative border die with Basic White cardstock to create this lacy pattern. I love the effect.

The flowers are fussy cut from the Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper (DSP). I added some gold sequins to give the flower centres some sparkle.
