The bag above is Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock, and below is Old Olive and Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer? The first bag I made had a pointed flap as above but when I made the second one I forgot to make a point and did a normal flap. You can tell me which flap shape you like best.

The closure is velcro dots, you can easily use magnets of course. I like to change it up though and do things differently. It makes life a little more interesting.

The paper used here is Zoo Crew. On one side it has lots of little critters but on the other side of the paper are all these fabulous black and white designs. They are perfect for card backgrounds.

I’ve used the countryside corners dies to create this fun tuck spot with a little tag for a secret message.

I love making z fold cards. They are so easy to make. This is a double z fold horizontal card. The one above is Pretty Peacock and Coastal Cabana and below is Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer?

The little stamped hearts are from the set called Phrases for All. They aren’t the main focus of the set but are so useful. Sometimes I think we ignore the smaller stamps in the set as they don’t always appear to “sing” the loudest.

This is a very simple but cute make. It would be lovely to put on a friend’s desk in the morning to brighten their day. You could make the same style of envelope and place an after eight in the for a table favour. I’ve made this in two colour ways. The above one is Blueberry Bushel and below is Berry Burst. They are both returning in-colours they are now part of our main colour families. Which do you like best?

How to Make a Daisy Card Today – Cheerful Daisies – Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

As I am sure I’ve said many a time, daisies hold a special place in my heart. My granny had a yellow daisy bush in her garden and I’ve many pictures of it growing up. They are such happy flowers and of course, they are related to sunflowers.

I coloured these daisies using the Stampi’ Blend alcohol markers. I inked the background in Balmy Blue, which really makes the yellow / orange of the daisies pop.

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Panels of Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Basic White Cardstock that fit the background panel at your chosen angles.

Isn’t this little bunny having fun in the rain? It reminds me of children and puddles. They are drawn to them like a magnet. I love watching them so free and happy playing in the puddles. Good fun!!

These images are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. They are easy to colour. I made a mask of the bunny rabbit so that I could stamp the raindrops and not have them cover the image. To create the mask I just stamped the image on some masking paper and then fussy cut it out. I save the masks for future use in the front of my stamp case.

How to Use 1 Design – Get 2 Distinct Cards – Go To Greetings – Fresh as Daisy – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! – Lincoln UK

This is a simple design. It is what I call an equal panel design as each panel is the size as the rest. Here I’ve used it in a horizontal design. The pattern does match across the 3 panels and this does add to the overall effect.

Below I’ve used the same design but now in a vertical format. It gives a totally different effect but is essentially the same design. Which do yo prefer?

Masking is a great technique to use when building a scene. It allows you to make some images appear in the foreground and push others into the background. I’ve used masking when stamping these toadstools. I stamped the toadstool on some masking paper and fussy cut the image out. The masked image is stored in the front of my stamp case and can be used time and time again.

Just a little boy and his dog, how cute!! This stamp set is “By My Side”. I’ve used it a few times but it has mainly just sat on the shelf. I really need to use it more as it’s so sweet. The image is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love colouring and this was a lovely relaxing card to make.
