Make a Pretty Cover for a Notebook – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love pretty notebooks, who doesn’t? I don’t end up using them all but I still love all the pretty patterns. Today I’ve decided to make my own. I bought a cheap notebook and made this pretty cover. Hopefully, now I will use it!!

I made this notebook in two different colour variations. Which do you prefer the Night of Navy or the Copper Clay?

Make a Rucksac Style Gift Bag With Me

Make a Rucksac Style Gift Bag With Me – Countrysideside Inn – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I first made this bag with my card club ladies last year and it was a hit. I decided to do another one with this gorgeous designer series paper (DSP), Countryside Inn. This paper is all about the blues and I love it. I only bought one pack but am definitely getting another one soon as I can see myself using it again and again. I love blues if you can’t tell.

This bag is actually super easy to make. I enclose a template below. The top has a little magnetic closure though you could also you a velcro fastening as well.

Lazy Days – Make a Thank You Card

Lazy Days – Make a Thank You Card – Timeless Arrangements – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

The Lazy Days stamp set screams long hot summer days to me. It was, for this reason, I was in two minds about buying it but then I thought some more. You can use this set in many different ways. It could even be used for a Christmas card with the rocking chair next to a tree and a pile of presents. Once I could see the versatility of the set it as in my basket.

My favourite image in this set is the rocking chair. My Granny used to have two rocking chairs in the lounge and now I have them. As a child, I used to love rocking in the chair and so rocking chairs hold a special place in my heart.

Cheerful Daisies – How to Two-Step Stamp

Cheerful Daisies – How to Two-Step Stamp – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love daisies. My grandmother always had a yellow daisy bush in her garden. I’ve tons of photos of me and the daisy bush. This card reminds me of her, even though she is long gone, I still love her to bits.

This is an easy two-step stamping set. The daisies are easy to line up, even without the now-retired Stamparatus. You just need to make sure you are looking straight down over your stamps. This makes lining up your stamps much easier. I’ve made this card in two different colour combinations. Which do you like better?

Seasonal Branches – One Way to Use It!!

Seasonal Branches – One Way to Use It!! – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln – UK

As you may know, I love floral and nature-related stamp sets. I, therefore, had to get his one on pre-order. I love that the branch can be used not just with the florals as I have done here but with leaves, the apple or even berries. It makes it so versatile for all seasons.

The stamp set has a matching die set which I used here. It means I can stamp the branch and pop up the flowers. This gives added interest to the card as well as creates a shadow so making the scene look more realistic.

New Circle Punch – Yeah!!!

New Circle Punch – Yeah!!! – Circle Sayings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

We have a new circle punch. I’m so happy. If you know me, you’ll know that I love my punches. I hardly ever sell my retired punches and have quite the collection now. They are quick to use, don’t need any other equipment to use, and are easy to transport. Our new circle punch size is 2 3/8″. So useful for matting and layering. It works well with the circles in the Stylish Shapes dies.

Make a Beautiful Balloons Birthday Card

Make a Beautiful Balloons Birthday Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

At last, I can start to play with products from the new Annual Catalogue that goes live tomorrow. The stamp set I used today is called Beautiful Balloons. It of course has a matching die set. There are lots of different balloons and they can be used not just for birthday cards but for any celebration card.

I also used some of our new colours Berry Burst and Azure Afternoon. We have 11 new colours entering our colour families tomorrow and I am excited to start using them.

Countryside Corners – 1 Way to Use This Set

Countryside Corners – 1 Way to Use This Set – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I will admit when I first bought the Countryside Corners set that I didn’t realise it was all one stamp. You can cut apart all the frames using the matching dies. If you are feeling brave you can cut apart the rubber stamp as well. Not sure if I’m that brave yet.

This set I thought was perfect for heat embossing. I’ve used one of the new in colours, Moody Mauve and white heat embossed the stamp set and sentiment. I really like how it came out. In the card below I used another in colour Boho Blue. Which do you prefer?
