I resisted buying the Little Money stamp and punch set for a while. I caved in and I love it!! Isn’t this monkey the cutest? He is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love how he is popping out the window to say hello.

Make a Card with a Limited Colour Palette

This card is colourful but I’ve only used a limited colour palette of primary colours. My first version uses Real Red, Crushed Curry and Azure Afternoon. I used the colours in the cardstock and the balloons. Repeating the colours gives the card a cohesive feel.

The second card is the same design but is of the pastel variety. The colours are Petal Pink, Balmy Blue and Lemon Lolly. Which version do you think is best? Let me know in the comments below.

I love my rainbow cards. Normally I go for the bright bold colours but I decided to change things up for this baby card. I made a pastel rainbow instead and I love it. The critters in the Little Dreamers stamp set are just so cute. You just want to cuddle them, or perhaps that’s just me.

I used two different images for both of these pastel rainbow cards. One has the elephant and the other the cow. Which do you like best? I coloured the cow using our Stampin’ Write markers and the elephant using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol makers. I think they both work well here. Just remember to use Memento Tuxedo Black for the alcohol markers and Stazon Black for the Stampin’ Write Markers.

This is an easy box to make. It’s a great size 5″ X 2″ X 2″, perfect for lots of sweets or other gifts. The new patterns in the family stack designer series paper are just gorgeous. I love these hearts. They are so pretty, don’t you agree?

Quite often I do my projects in two colour ways and this time is no different. Both of these boxes use the 2022 – 2024 in-colours. Which version do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

Wild & Sweet – How I Made a Panda Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Isn’t this panda adorable? Just hanging out on this branch watching the world go by. I coloured the branches and leaves using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I think they are my favourite colouring medium. The details in this panda are just amazing. You could colour in the panda as well but I left it as I liked the shading the stamping gave it.

Instead of just having a plain green background I added extra interest with a background stamp. The background stamp used here is Sketched Plaid. The stamping is tone-on-tone just to give some subtle interest.

Inked Botanicals – Make a Thank You Card

Inked Botanicals – Make a Thank You Card – Phrases for All – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This card is perfect for those of you who prefer the more subtle muted colours in the Stampin’ Up range. It is colourful but not overly bright and bold. For once, I’ve not used Basic White cardstock but Very Vanilla. It just adds to this muted slightly vintage style I was going for.

The patterned paper is Inked Botanical. I love the mixture of colours in the collection. I’ve only used half a sheet of cardstock for each card but extended the feel of the paper through stamping. The little strip of going foil sheet just adds a touch of luxury to the card design.

This is a very simple design that makes the most of the patterned paper. Both of the patterns on this card are just the reverse of the same piece of paper. I love that the paper has two sides as you it gives you more options to mix and match.

The stamp set is Circle Sayings and of course, it matches the new circle punch. Who doesn’t love a new punch? I certainly do and circle punches are my favourite!!
