Merriest Trees Die Cut Christmas Card – Try It Now

Merriest Trees Die Cut Christmas Card – Try It Now – Celebrate with Tags – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This is a very simple design. The Merriest Trees dies has 3 similar trees in different sizes. I lined them up with some embellishments and that is my card design. This was made for my online card club. This club focuses on dies more than stamping. You can check out the details here.

The Merriest Trees dies has many extra details you can add to the card. This includes a die that cuts out strands. These can be tinsel, popcorn strands etc… Just use your imagination. These strands would look amazing cut out of foil sheet as well. There are presents, stars and lots of other little embellishments to decorate your tree as you wish.

How I Made a Sparkling Snowflake Background Christmas Card

How I Made a Sparkling Snowflake Background Christmas Card – Beary Cute – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I love stamping my own patterned paper. Do you? The inspiration for the colours I used here came from the Snowflake Magic speciality designer series paper. It is a lovely foiled set of papers. I’m only using a little bit at a time I am hoarding it as it’s just so pretty.

When I first designed this card, I felt something was missing. It was an embellishment. The glitter sequins in the middle of the snowflakes bring the whole card to life. Do you agree? I think it would be nice to create a set of cards of this design in different colours to give as a gift. A future project down the line.

How to Make an Autumnal-Style Birthday Card

How to Make an Autumnal-Style Birthday Card – Abundant Beauty – Celebrate with Tags – Crafting With Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I do love stencils. They are amazing. There is so much you can do with them. I get every stencil Stampin’ Up! release. They are perfect for easy backgrounds and focal images alike.

The stencil I’ve used today is part of the Abundant Beauty pack. It creates a simple autumnal background. You can use just one ink colour or multiple colours as I’ve done today. I took my blending brushes and ink pads and had lots of fun.

How to Make a Greeting Card Storage Box

How to Make a Greeting Card Storage Box – Joy to You – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I have this great-sized gift box to share with you today. This box will hold a set of A6 cards and envelopes. What a great Christmas gift.

This is a simple box to make. It measures 6 3/4″ X 5″ and is 2″ deep. I’ve made the box into different colour combinations. Which one do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

The sentiment for here is stamped in Real Red / Blueberry Bushel Ink. This is dried and the sentiment is restamped using Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. This is a great trick if you don’t have a ton of different coloured embossing powders.

Shaded Spruce / Balmy Blue Cardstock – 10 3/4″ X 9″ scored at 2″ on all sides

New Ideas for Heat Embossing – Christmas Card

New Ideas for Heat Embossing – Christmas Card – More Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Most of the time we heat emboss on plain cardstock and more often than not on white cardstock. Here I’ve heat embossed on designer series paper (DSP). It really works well. The one thing to remember is to choose a colour of embossing powder that will really pop against your background. Here the white really pops against the dark background.

I’ve added mini embellishments here, letting the heat-embossed sentiment be the star of the show. The stamp set is More Wishes and is a Christmas version of Biggest Wish from the main catalogue. These sets are firm favourites of mine. I adore the big, bold font.

Trucking Along – Easy Build a Scene Christmas Card

Trucking Along – Easy Build a Scene Christmas Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’m back today with another Christmas card. This one uses the Trucking Along bundle. This is an online exclusive, so you won’t find it in the catalogue. I’ve used it before to make a birthday card.

I do love this little truck and the matching punch. The stamp set really does lend itself to building a scene. These are some of my favourite card styles. You are painting a scene with stamps. The stamp set is a two-step stamping set, giving you the option to colour the images yourself or use the extra stamps to add colour.

Ombre Stamping – Make a Simple Birthday Card

Ombre Stamping – Make a Simple Birthday Card – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! – Lincoln UK

I am resisting the Ombre technique. This allows you to merge two similar tones of colour on one image. It looks great and the best part is, that it’s very easy to achieve.

You can use a sponge dauber, blending brush or piece of sponge to achieve this effect. I stamped my image, which is my birthday sentiment in one lightest colour. In this example that is Flirty Flamingo. I then inked up the bottom part of the image with the darker colour and restamped it.

Abundant Beauty – How to Use the Layering Masks

Abundant Beauty – How to Use the Layering Masks – Wanted to Say Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love using layering stencils, they make a card so easily. Layering stencils also allow you to create extra depth and dimension. You can layer simple colours for even greater interest.

I normally use Basic White cardstock but I decided to change things up this time and use Crumb Cake. This is the first time I’ve done this and I am so happy with the effect. Do you stencil on coloured cardstock?
