October 2016 – Crafting with Ashee

Hello,

I hope that you are well. Can you believe it that we are starting to make Christmas cards. Eeek!!! The clocks go back in a few weeks too. It really feels as if winter is on the way and I am starting to feel the cold. I thought I would start my Christmas cards and do something enjoyable on these longer and longer nights.

This is a very simple card made using the Candy Cane Lane washi tape. I like this kind of card as it is the type that you can make in bulk with out too much difficulty. I rediscovered my love of heat embossing too. There is always something magical watching the powder turn from a dull silver to this bright metallic silver colour.

The accent stars are the metallic enamel shapes. I do love enamel dots. You get a range of designs in one package which is great.

Until next time enjoy being creative

Hello again,

It is a lovely sunny day here in Lincoln, such a treat after all the grey we have had recently. I am still learning to drive. I take my second test on 24th October. My instructor was off on holiday in Portugal last week so I restart my lessons tomorrow.

I have a birthday card to show you today. The stamp set is Painter’s Palette. The easel in the set just seemed to fit an easel card so that is what I made.

I love the stamp set Painter’s Palette as you can use the easel as I have but you can also you the square insert of the easel to make interesting backgrounds. I do love the new colour sweet sugar plum which is the colour of the ribbon used here.
