December 2021 – Crafting with Ashee

Fast and Easy Christmas Bag – No Cutting Required

Fast and Easy Christmas Bag – No Cutting Required – Painted Christmas – Merriest Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I’ve made this bag a number of times. It is a great one to make as requires no cutting and minimal scoring. You can make them in a great number easily in many sizes. They store flat until you want to use them and string the ribbon through them. What more could you want from a gift bag?

The tag is hand stamped using the Merriest Moments stamp set. You can see me make a similar oversize tag on the previous blog post.

Make Your Own Oversized Christmas Tag

Make Your Own Oversized Christmas Tag – Merriest Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I love this tag, it is a card and tag all in one. It is totally hand-stamped and uses no designer series paper (DSP). This means I can tailor the colours and design to my personal preference. I’ve used the gilded gems in places to give it that necessary bling for Christmas. The combination of Shaded Spruce (green) and Cherry Cobbler really works for me. They are traditional Christmas colours but still look fresh and vibrant together.

See How to Use the Festive Foliage Background Stamp

See How to Use the Festive Foliage Background Stamp – Enriched in Warmth – Christmas Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I love background stamps. I have a huge collection and never purge any of them. They are so useful to create easy backgrounds in cardmaking, scrapbooking and of course art journaling. The gems are the Wonderful Gems and I’ve used them to look like berries scattered through the foliage. You could also heat emboss the Festive Foliage stamp set and then colour them in using your watercolour pencils. It would look fabulous.

How to Make Christmas Decor with Wood Slices

How to Make Christmas Decor with Wood Slices – Poinsettia Dies – Pine Tree Punch – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I bought a huge stack of wood slices online in one day deal and have been trying to use them up ever since. These are my makes this year and I love them. I’ve made three different ones and think they look great hung up on the tree.

There are so many things you and do with the wood slices. You can of course stamp on them. I would advise you to use Stazon ink to make sure it sticks to the wood slice and stays there of course. You can use black or in this case, I’ve used Saddle Brown. You can also paint them or sponge the paint onto them to make them look like snow.

I used die-cuts to decorate them. I love this poinsettia one, but then I love poinsettias. To make the die-cuts pop I inked the edges of all the die cuts to make them really pop against the background.

Look!! Cute Little Critters in Their Stockings

Look!! Cute Little Critters in Their Stockings – Sweet Little Stocking – Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Oh my gosh, aren’t these little critters cute!!! I want them all in my stocking this Christmas. I don’t know about you but when I’m not happy I gravitate to animals above people. Much easier to connect with I think.

These little cuties are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I put on an audiobook and had a nice relaxing half an hour of colouring. To add dimension I used the new acrylic shapes to decorate each of the stockings. They look really good in real life. The camera doesn’t show them off to their best.

Embrace the Imperfect – Make a Christmas Card

Embrace the Imperfect – Make a Christmas Card – Holly Jolly Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I love this card as the strips of paper are meant to be wonky. The imperfect lines make this card look fabulous. I cut the strips at different angles with no measuring, no right or wrong. I just went for it. There is a little gap between each strip so they really pop from each other. The large sentiment and some foil sheet and bingo, you have a really great card.

How to * Snowflake Heat Embossed Background

How to * Snowflake Heat Embossed Background – Snowflake Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

How is everyone doing? Only a few weeks until Christmas. Are you excited? Yes, I am. I love the build-up to Christmas with all the lovely music, pretty lights and of course Christmas movies.

Here is a snowflake card I have to share with you today. I heat embossed the snowflakes with white embossing powder. They look so vibrant against the Night of Navy background. If you use a white craft ink it will never look as bright as white heat embossing. I used rhinestones in the centre of each snowflake for that extra bling effect!!

How to use Gilding Flakes with Stencils – Christmas

How to use Gilding Flakes with Stencils – Christmas – Perfectly Plaid – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I was so excited when the gilded flakes came out and couldn’t wait to use them. Of course, I did and then put them away and forgot about them. I was watching a video about gilding flakes and thought I need to pull them out and use them again so I did. Here is what I came up with.

I tacked my piece of basic white cardstock down to the stencil with low tack tape so it wouldn’t move on me. Next, I used versamark ink through the stencil, removed the stencil and applied heat & stick powder. Remember not to overheat the heat and stick powder, move on to the next section as soon as it’s melted. The gilding flakes stick to the heat & stick powder. Buff away the excess flakes and there you go!!

Make a Candy Cane Pouch for Christmas

Make a Candy Cane Pouch for Christmas – Holly Jolly Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I make one of these candy cane pouches each year and this is my offering this time. I hope you like it. It is very easy to make and a lovely little gift to any house guest over Christmas.

I’ve used the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) which has lovely small patterns perfect for small projects such as these. I should warn you though to never eat any sweets, chocolates or candy canes you find in my craft room as they have been used and reused in project samples and are well out of date!! These candy canes are from last year. The good stuff is kept in the pantry.

Make a Good Sized Christmas Gift Box

Make a Good Sized Christmas Gift Box – Merriest Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Sometimes I just have to do with traditional colours. Here they are Real Red and Mossy Meadow (Green). They look great together as they are complementary colours in the colour wheel. This means they are directly opposite to each other on the colour wheel. This makes the colours really pop when used together.

This box is very easy to make and I would certainly love to receive a special gift housed in this box. I do hope you give it a go and show me your creations in my Facebook group.
