Using a Snowflake Stencil To Make a Background

Using a Snowflake Stencil To Make a Background – Christmas to Remember – Blending – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This turned out so well. I used the snowflake stencil from the Adorning pack of stencils. I used the blending brushes with Balmy Blue and then Pacific Point to make this background. The snowflakes are then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Catch Me if You Can, I’m The Gingerbread Man!!

Catch Me if You Can, I’m The Gingerbread Man!! – Frosted Gingerbread – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln Uk.

When I was a child I used to play a game with my father. I would yell “I’m the gingerbread man and you can’t catch me” and then run. A gave of tag if you will. This card reminds me of that silly children’s game.

These gingerbread shapes are heat embossed with white embossing powder on Cinamon cider cardstock. They really look like iced gingerbread. So darling!! I took my inspiration from the matching Gingerbread and Peppermint designer series paper (DSP).

Making a Bright, Elegant & Easy Christmas Card

Making a Bright, Elegant & Easy Christmas Card – Trimmings & Tidings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stamping’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I faffed and faffed with this card. In the end, I am so happy with it. I love this bright Real Red background from the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper (DSP). It is a lovely contrast against the Shaded Spruce green. I’ve made the background look like a wrapped present using scraps of Shaded Spruce paper.

Each year a group of us do a Christmas Stocking Swap. We purchase or make a stocking and fill it up with crafty goodness. It’s a lovely thing to open on Christmas Day and very much part of my Christmas traditions.

Make Your Own Patterned Paper – Stamp Your Own

Make Your Own Patterned Paper – Stamp Your Own – In Bloom – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love stamping my own patterned paper. You can choose your own colours and designs to make a bespoke piece of paper that is unique to you. It is such fun and I should really do it more often.

I’ve used the In Bloom stamp set which with its matching dies, Pierced Blooms are a current staple in my craft room. The colours are my favourite teals of Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.

Make a Drawer Style Christmas Gift Box

Make a Drawer Style Christmas Gift Box – Heartwarming Hugs – Holly Jolly Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a cute twist on a traditional gift box. It is easy to make and is a nice hidden surprise for someone. I added a little ribbon pull to make it easier to pull out. The little treat is some love hearts sweets nestled in crinkle paper. You can decorate the inside and outside of the box if you wish though I’ve only done the outside.

Have you started to prepare for Christmas? I’ve started on my cards already and am also make a couple of mini albums too. I only have my mother to buy presents for her and she is super easy to buy for her. My family are all in South Africa and Australia and so it’s not so easy to send presents to South Africa in particular.

How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days

How I Colour this Christmas Robin – Happy Holly Days – Watercolour Pencils – Colouring – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

My mother loves robins. They come so close as she is working in the garden, cocking their little heads, waiting for a juicy worm. Robins are very much associated with Christmas. I love cards with robins. Their little redbreasts are so bright in the dull days of winter.

I coloured this fellow with watercolour pencils. I love water colouring, it is the way I first tried to paint. Watercolouring is very forgiving. Take your time and build up the layer of colours and you are good to go.

Milk Carton Style Gift Box – How to Make it!

Milk Carton Style Gift Box – How to Make it! – Harvest Meadow DSP – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love making little gift boxes and bags. I’ve made this style before but I just love how cute it looks. The binder clip closure is just something different. It also uses up my huge stash of clips. I love stationery and have a collection of different paper clips, binder clips and lots more. Sad but true.

The paper is the Harvest Meadow designer series paper (DSP) and I love these bright and joyful colours. This gift box uses Bumble Bee and Misty Moonlight. These are both primary colours and work well together.

Gutting Paper – Dies – Easy Birthday Card – Tutorial

Gutting Paper – Dies – Easy Birthday Card – Tutorial – Sunny Sentiments – You’re a Peach – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a very simple card you can make quickly when you need a card. The designer series paper (DSP) is You’re a Peach. I gutted the first layer to make the matt for my circle. This gaping hole in the paper is of course covered by the second layer. Clever!!

Peach season is long since gone but we can still use the pretty paper and relive the memories of summer. I love this paper and will continue to use it throughout the year. It is so bright and beautiful.

Candy Canes – How to Heat Emboss a Background

Candy Canes – How to Heat Emboss a Background – Christmas to Remember – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Gosh, I’m so pleased with how this turned out. I wanted to make this card ever since I first saw the Candy Canes stamp set in the catalogue. The contrast between the white heat embossing and the red background is so striking.

Heat embossing is very easy to do but always feels like magic to me. This dull powder becomes glossy and beautiful as it melts under the heat tool. To make this card I used a larger panel than I needed of real red so that I could cut it down to get or of any imperfections around the edges. Please do watch the video and try it yourself. Enjoy the magic!!!
