Sympathy Card Archives – Crafting with Ashee

How I Made this Rainbow Cloud – Thinking of You Card

How I Made this Rainbow Cloud – Thinking of You Card – Warm Welcome – Quiet Meadow – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I was proud of this idea of a rainbow bridge made using the cloud punch. The highlights on the clouds are made using a white gel pen. The little kitty sitting under the bridge waiting for his owner is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.

It is always difficult making cards such as these but I hope this would bring comfort.

The rainbow bridge is a pastel rainbow and my colours are:

Petal Pink
Calypso Coral
Lemon Lolly
Soft Sea Foam
Balmy Blue
Highland Heather

Thinking of You – Simple Design Card – Countryside Corners

Thinking of You – Simple Design Card – Countryside Corners – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This is a simple design. I have just layered die cuts in complimentary colours finishing with a layer of pretty paper. The die set is Countryside Corners. The colours here are Moody Mauve and Bubble Bath. I do love the names Stampin’ Up! comes up with, don’t you?

I made this card in two colour ways. Which do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

Who Wouldn’t Love a Basket of Craft Gifts?

Who Wouldn’t Love a Basket of Craft Gifts? – Cheerful Basket – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I was thinking of RAKs when I made this card. When I first got into crafting I had no idea what a RAK was. Then I found out it means “Random Act of Kindness”. So sweet!! I have some goodies this year for a few RAKs and giveaways. Stay tuned to my blog and Facebook group for all the information.

The colouring on this card was super quick using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I love how easy they are to blend and they also give me great results.

I love rainbow cards. They are such fun to make. The colours I’ve used for my rainbow are:

Real Red
Pumpkin Pie
Daffodil Delight
Granny Apple Green
Pacific Point
Gorgeous Grape

I stamped little hearts in the centre of the big hearts. They look so cute. I made two versions of this card. The one above is less busy than the one below. Which do you prefer?

Look – Great Technique – Embossing Folders

Look – Great Technique – Embossing Folders – Quiet Meadow – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Most of the time we tend to use embossing folders with plain cardstock. I’ve used it here with the Distressed Gold speciality paper. It gives a great effect so different to using it with plain cardstock. I’ve used the Metal Plate embossing folder and it really gives this look with the Distressed Gold paper.

How to Ink over an Embossed Background

How to Ink over an Embossed Background – Art Gallery – Leaf Fall – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

The trick to this technique is to use a very light hand when inking over your embossed image. You just need to glide your blending brush over the embossed image with no pressure at all. This way it will pick up the raised embossing only.

I’ve kept this card very tonal. The silver spring charm is quite chunky so make sure it is securely attached using glue dots or wet glue.

Make a Vintage Style Card with Ink Blending

Make a Vintage Style Card with Ink Blending – Eden’s Garden – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

This card has a lovely vintage feel to it. Can’t believe it started out as plain Sahara Sand Cardstock. I used the same colour, Crumb Cake which is just a shade darker than Sahara Sand to do all the stamping and blending. It gives it a cohesive look. I kept the blending dark on the edges to give a border and make the centre pop.

Hand-Penned – How to Make an easy Floral Card

Hand-Penned – How to Make an easy Floral Card – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I made this cute card to send to a friend who just went into hospital now in April when I’m writing this. I will have this to her by the time this goes live and wanted to share it with you.

This is the Hand-Penned suite of products from Stampin’ Up! and it is new in the new annual catalogue. If you don’t have a copy of the catalogue and want one, then just click here to request one. This suite has a glorious stamp set, matching dies and of course pretty paper. I’ve used them all on this card. It is a two-step stamp set which the Stamparatus makes a doddle to use.

I love the new colour Pale Papaya. In South Africa where my mother’s family reside we call papaya, pawpaw so you will most probably hear me refer to it like that from now on.

Making a Simple Sympathy Card – Hand Penned

Making a Simple Sympathy Card – Hand Penned – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a pretty card for a very sad occasion. My mother unfortunately had the need to send a sympathy card recently and this is what I came up with for her to send.

It uses the pretty Hand-Penned designer series paper (DSP) that is in the new catalogue. It has this lovely and light feel to it. Of course, there are matching stamps and dies in the suite. I love the sketchy watercolour feel. The sentiment is from an old favourite of mine “Peaceful Moments”. I am so glad it didn’t retire in May as I use it all the time.

Making a Simple Sympathy Card

Making a Simple Sympathy Card using the Heal Your Heart stamp set. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Recently, sadly I needed to make a sympathy card. I decided to share this with you in case you are in the same situation. I was unsure how to go about designing such a card, so I went for simple and easy. The stamp set is actually one I just acquired during Sale-a-bration. I didn’t think I would use it, but there you go. The designer series paper (DSP) is Paper Blooms which is absolutely gorgeous. It gives the perfect backdrop to the sentiment.
