Botanical Beauty – How to do the Emboss Resist Technique

Botanical Beauty – How to do the Emboss Resist Technique – Biggest Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This card was made using the emboss resist technique. I heat-embossed a piece of white cardstock with clear embossing powder. Then, a layer of ink was applied over the top using blending brushes. The embossed areas will resist the ink leaving this lovely effect.

I have made this card in two different colour ways. The above is Coastal Cabana, Pool Pary and Lost Lagoon, below is Berry Burst and Bubble Bath. Which version do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

Countryside Corners – How to Make a Rainbow Birthday Card

Countryside Corners – How to Make a Rainbow Birthday Card – Seasonal Branches – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

I love to make rainbow cards. This card features the Country Corners bundle. I stamped these frames six times and of course die cut them six times. This made enough frames for, you guessed it, six cards.

My favourite rainbow card colours are listed and linked in the supply list below. I love bold and bright colours but you could equally choose a pastel palette.

Circle Sayings – Make an Easy Birthday Card With Me

Circle Sayings – Make an Easy Birthday Card With Me – Go To Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I have this tonal birthday card to share with you today. You can colour the fairy cake but I kept this as just a simple line image. I adore the Perennial Lavender paper, so pretty. This is an easy card to make in bulk or you can step it up with more embellishments.

I normally stamp and then punch but this time I did it the other way around. It helped centre the fairy cake and florals.

Make a Matchbox Gift Box – Holds a Lip Balm

Make a Matchbox Gift Box – Holds a Lip Balm – Timeless Arrangement – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I made these cute little matchboxes to hold lip balms. I matched the colours of the paper and cardstock to the colours of the lip balms. These make great little treats or gifts.

These would also store lipsticks and a longer version would hold a mascara stick. I think these would be great as part of a make-up hamper for a special friend or child.

Keep it Simple – Easy Card Design to Replicate

Keep it Simple – Easy Card Design to Replicate – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

This is an easy design to replicate. I’ve cut out three small panels from the Fresh as a Daisy designer series paper (DSP) using the Deckled Rectangle dies. I added a few die cuts from the Around The Bend dies and the card was finished.

All the die cuts were cut from Basic White cardstock. I coloured the two flowers with ink to match the card base which is Moody Mauve in colour.

Another Idea – How to Use Heat Embossing and Ink Blending.

Another Idea – How to Use Heat Embossing and Ink Blending. – Enduring Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

I’ve used this set previously to make a few cards. I decided to step it up with this card and use heat embossing alongside the ink blending. All the stamping is heat embossed with silver embossing powder. It will resist the ink blending, leaving the silver metallic lines.

I’ve coloured this card using the matching stencils. This gives these florals this lovely shading.
