How to Make a Shaker Christmas Ornament

How to Make a Shaker Christmas Ornament – Merry & Bright – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’ve used the Deckled Circle dies to create this lovely circle shaker ornament. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Do you like it?

The Beary Cute punch punches out the bears in the “A Walk in the Forest” designer series paper (DSP). The Merriest Trees dies also cut the trees from the same DSP. I’ve used both here to create my scene in the ornament.

I will admit the silver and gold sequins in the shaker are from my stash so I can link to where I got them. I’m sure you have some in your stash too, that you can use.

Thank you for visiting me. I hope you enjoyed this project and it inspired you. The supply list linked to my online shop and video tutorial are below. You can find my Basic Craft Products that I regularly here.

Until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

How to Use Heat Embossing to Help You Watercolour

How to Use Heat Embossing to Help You Watercolour – Berry Harvest – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! – Lincoln UK

The Berry Harvest stamp is a large background stamp. When I saw this one I knew I wanted to watercolour the image. I’ve heat-embossed the image with gold embossing powder. Heating embossing the image makes water colouring easy as the embossing helps you stay in the lines.

For my watercolouring, I used a water painter and my ink pads. Quick, easy and lots of fun. I do painting and colouring, do you?

Have a Look!! Merry & Bright Set- Christmas Bulb Card

Have a Look!! Merry & Bright Set- Christmas Bulb Card – Joy To You – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love all the different layering pieces to make these gorgeous Christmas lights. The Christmas light bulb is stamped in Real Red, Garden Green and Daffodil Delight. I’ve added extra layering details with the gorgeous silver glimmer paper. The best part of the glimmer paper is that it doesn’t shed glitter everywhere.

I have a question to ask, do you prefer white or coloured lights on the tree? I love the coloured ones more. They are much more cheerful. Let me know your answer in the comments below.

Make a Multi-Layer Snowflake Card

Make a Multi-Layer Snowflake Card – Sparkling Snowflake – Christmas Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I first made these multi-layer cards when I started to make cards and loved them. I still love them. They are easy to make and have a real wow factor. The stamp set used here is Sparkling Snowflake. Do you like it too?

I used removable adhesive to attach the 3 white layers as one while I stamped the snowflakes. The smallest snowflakes come the Beary Cute stamp set. This card is made in two colour ways. Which do you like best?

Beary Cute – Polar Bear Family Scene Card – Make It Now!

Beary Cute – Polar Bear Family Scene Card – Make It Now! – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love the Beary Cute stamp set and matching punch. The stamp set has 3 bears and they make a great little family. I used the Basic Border dies to create my snowy bank. The trees are popped behind and in front of the bank to create extra dimension and interest.

These little bears don’t have to be polar bears. They can also be brown bears. I think they would make a lovely child’s card based on the story of Goldy Locks and the Three Bears. Do you agree?

Simple Diagonal Design Christmas Card – Merry & Bright

Simple Diagonal Design Christmas Card – Merry & Bright – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This straightforward card design makes great use of your patterned paper. I have cut the paper at an angle and can use the second piece to make another card. The paper is aptly named, Merry, Bold & Bright. I love this bright dot design, don’t you?

The strings of lights are die-cut with matching cardstock. The dies are the Merry & Bright and they coordinate with both the paper and the stamp set.

Make this String of Christmas Bulbs Card

Make this String of Christmas Bulbs Card – Merry & Bright – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I’m so happy with how this card turned out. We made this card in a recent card club, and I wanted to share it with you too. My colour inspiration came from the matching paper, the Merry, Bold & Bright Designer series paper (DSP). I will admit that the silver foil sheet, used for the string and filaments is from my stash and not current.

The silver glimmer paper used for the bulb toppers is adhesive-backed. The backing paper is removed so easily, it’s a dream. It also die cuts well. What colour combination would you use for the lights?

Make a Fun Christmas Tree Shaped Shaker Card With Me

Make a Fun Christmas Tree Shaped Shaker Card With Me – Merriest Trees – Merry & Bright – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo

I’m really getting back into making shaker cards, so expect to see more shaker cards and tags on my blog in the run-up to Christmas. This is a card we made in the card club that I host in my Facebook Group.

It is easy to make using the Merriest Tree Dies. Full disclosure, I did use some sequins from my stash for the shaker elements. I have a ton and want to use them up. Do you have anything you are trying to use up from your stash?

Christmas Wreaths – Make this Easy Card Today

Christmas Wreaths – Make this Easy Card Today – Cottage Wreaths – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’ve made quite a few different Christmas wreaths over the years. I’ve made material ones, pompom ones, wool ones and of course the normal foliage-type wreath. They hang all over the house during the Christmas period, which for me, is from my birthday at the start of December to after my Grandmother’s birthday in the first week of January. Do you enjoy Christmas Crafting? Let me know in the comments below or better post a picture of your makes in my Facebook Group.

This is a clean and simple wreath card. I’ve used the Exposed Brick embossing folder to give interest to the white background. It hopefully looks like the wreath is hanging on some masonry outside.
