How To Make a Picnic Hamper Gift Box

I first saw this idea for a gift box on Pinterest. It took a couple of attempts to work out my measurements but it was well worth it. I love how it turned out. We made this in a recent card club and I decided to share it with you here as well.

Use All the Colours – Make a Rainbow Card With Me

Use All the Colours – Make a Rainbow Card With Me – Best Delivery – Dragonflies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I’m back with another Friday Focus post. In May we have been looking at using colour in our cards. Today I am using all the colours in the rainbow here. I love making rainbow cards. They are vibrant, bold and such fun. These cute little dragonflies really pop.

I couldn’t resist doodling a little with a white gel pen to add highlights to the dragonflies. The rhinestones are the perfect finishing touch.

My First Time – Making a Slimline Card – UK Sizing

My First Time – Making a Slimline Card – UK Sizing – Best Delivery – Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

I love how this card turned out. This is the first time I’ve made a slimline card like this. I have made some mini slimline cards but never a one this size. The card will fit perfectly into a standard DL size envelope here in the UK.

The Best Delivery stamp set is so cute. I have balloons coming out the back but you could equally have hearts coming out. So dinky. I coloured the image using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. One of my favourite colouring mediums. I was thinking of a Royal Mail van when I coloured in this image. The Real Red and white really do pop against each other.

Dahlia Days – How to Make a Floral Thank You Card

Dahlia Days – How to Make a Floral Thank You Card – Detailed Dahlia Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK.

I’ve had these doilies sitting in my stash for the best part of the year and never used them. That had to change, so I designed this card to start using them. I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

The Fresh Freesia layer at the back is all one die cut. It cuts beautifully and comes out of the die like a dream. I used the die brush attachment and the Take Your Pick Tool to get rid of all the little bits.

Keep it to One Colour – The Spotlighting Technique

Keep it to One Colour – The Spotlighting Technique – Painted Poppies – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo

This is a Focus Friday post. This May I have been focusing on the topic of “Colour”. This week I am looking at just using one colour to spotlight a focal image on the card. This card uses only the colour red. White and black aren’t strickly colours on the colour wheel. I’ve used the red to spotlight the poppies and really make them pop on this card.

Happy Hedgehogs – Make a Scene – Birthday Card

Happy Hedgehogs – Make a Scene – Birthday Card – Blessings of Home – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love this cute little woodland scene. It’s coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love colouring as you know, so on when the audiobook and off I went. I’m listening to the third book in the Brighton Mysteries series by Elly Griffiths. Really enjoy them. What do you listen to while you craft?

I’m back with another project using the Cup of Tea stamp set. I love this set and have so many ideas about how to use it. There are tons of mini sentiments that can be stamped on the cute little tags. They look like the tags of a teabag. So sweet!!

Complementary Colours – Use them to Make a Card

Complementary Colours – Use them to Make a Card – Friday Focus – Tulip Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

I am back with another Friday Focus post. Today we are looking at colour theory again. I am using complementary colours today to make my focal image really pop off the background. These are the wonderful Tulip Dies that you can use to make any number of different flowers. Just play around with the elements to create a flower that you like the look of. There is no wrong way to put these together.

Complementary colours are those opposite each on the colour wheel:

Red & Green
Yellow & Purple
Blue & Orange
