Simple Card Design – Pattern on Pattern – Birthday Card – Meandering Meadow – Circle Sayings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I love the Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP). The artwork is gorgeous. I’ve layered this beautiful print on top of two other designs that are less busy. As all the papers are from the same collection the colours match. I’ve added some foliage using the Bough punch for added interest. I used white cardstock as I didn’t want to introduce another colour.

Making Easy Cards with Meandering Meadow DSP

Making Easy Cards with Meandering Meadow DSP – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

The Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP) has a strong impressionistic vibe. The paper is full of bright colours, brushstrokes and lovely floral scenes. If you love impressionism then this is the paper for you.

This paper doesn’t need much doing to it. The paper is gorgeous. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies to cut a perfect “photo”. I added a white heat embossed sentiment and the card is completed. You could make a set of these as a gift.

Fluffiest Friends – Honey Bear – Easy Colouring

Fluffiest Friends – Honey Bear – Easy Colouring – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Isn’t this bear cute? He looks so happy, gorging himself on honey. I love how the honey is dripping out of the pot. I used a mixture of stamped and die-cut elements to make this card.

The main image is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love these as they are so easy to colour with. I generally start with my darker colour and then blend with the lighter one. Just be careful not to over-saturate your image. If I want to add more colour, I will let the image dry and then come back and work on it again.

How to Make a Ginger Cat Magnetic Bookmark

How to Make a Ginger Cat Magnetic Bookmark – Fluffiest of Friends – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love to read, do you? I know we have digital books but there is something special about real books. Nothing can beat it. I do admit I will buy fiction books digitally but never nonfiction. It’s just too hard to keep referencing back to previous pages digitally.

Making your own bookmarks is so easy and why not have something pretty to keep your page? This bookmark is a magnetic one. I bought the magnet pairs online a few years ago and still have tons left.

The inspiration for this project is the neighbourhood ginger cat. I don’t know where his home is but he loves to sunbath either in my drive or garden.

Let’s Go Crackers – Make this Cute Mini Cracker – Easy Make

Let’s Go Crackers – Make this Cute Mini Cracker – Easy Make – Merry & Bright – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Who doesn’t like a Christmas cracker? I’ve been making my own crackers for years. These mini crackers are perfect to use as a nameplate for Sunday lunch. They would look good as Christmas Decor items, possibly wired into some garlands across the mantle piece.

They are die-cut using the Cracker and Treabox dies. Last year I showed a couple of ways to make up these crackers and a box to store them in. You can find the links below.

Every year I make candy cane pouches. This is what I came up with this year. I keep these in the house around December to give to visitors. You could also add a ribbon and hang them on the Christmas Tree.

These are easy to make in bulk as they are just little pockets. I’ve used a punch to add decorative detail to the opening. Do you like candy canes? If so what is your favourite flavour? Let me know in the comments below.

How to Use – Merriest Trees Dies to Make Christmas Tags

How to Use – Merriest Trees Dies to Make Christmas Tags – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I made two versions of this Christmas Tree Tag. The one above is using only the dies. I cut the tree shape from the “A Walk in the Forest” designer series paper (DSP). I used a white pen to highlight the lights, which helped to bring the whole piece together.

Version 2

The tag below is stamped in Garden Green ink with white heat embossing to create the effect of snow. I kept to the primary colours, Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Azure Afternoon (blue) for my baubles. Don’t they look cute?

How to Make a Christmas Gift Box with a Window Side Panel

How to Make a Christmas Gift Box with a Window Side Panel – Celebrate with Tags – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This cute gift box holds three little votive candles. The side panel is see-through. The window sheet is very sturdy and works well as the side panel. I didn’t use a die to create the window. I measured and cut the window using a ruler and craft knife. You don’t need lots of fancy tools to make something stunning.

I’ve made this little box using two different designer series paper packs. The top one is the Oxidized Copper paper and the bottom one is Snowflake Magic. They are both speciality paper and have lots of shine and sparkle to them. Which do you prefer?

How I Made a Fun Shaker Light Bulb Christmas Card

How I Made a Fun Shaker Light Bulb Christmas Card – Merry & Bright – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I do love a shaker card. I’ve made quite a few this year. This card features the Merry & Bright bundle. The back panel is just one shaker window but of course, you see three separate shaker windows on the front.

The sequin mix is from stash. I am trying to use what I have and these colours match the card perfectly. The card front is hand-stamped. I love it, so colourful and bright.
