How to Create Gorgeous Thank You Cards

How to Create Gorgeous Thank You Cards – Painted Lavender – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I have this elegant floral thank you card to share today. This card features the stunning Painted Lavender stamp set. It is a two-step stamp set which allows you to create these gorgeous flower spikes.

Lavender is such a classic scent and flower. Did you know it is a member of the mint family? It’s been used and cooking and herbalism. I think it’s a beautiful flower to say thank you. Lavender symbolises serenity and elegance, perfect for a card. Do you agree?

How to Create a Hot Air Balloon Spinner Card

How to Create a Hot Air Balloon Spinner Card – Hot Air Balloon – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Spinner cards are such fun. You do need to watch the video to get the full effect. You can find the link below. This card features the Hot Air Balloon bundle. It is a two-step stamp which allows me to mimic the stripey paper in the design of the hot air balloon.

There are two sizes of balloons included in this set. I’ve used the smaller one here. You can also die-cut your balloons instead of stamping them first.

Create a Scene Thank You Card – Playing in the Rain

Create a Scene Thank You Card – Playing in the Rain – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love how this card turned out. It is darling, don’t you agree? This little turtle is so cute. This card is a mixture of stamped images and die cuts. Scene cards are some of my favourite cards to make. They do take a little longer to create but they are such fun to make.

The stamped images are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I’ve added shading to the die cuts using the matching ink colours and blending brushes. This adds dimension and depth to the die cuts so they don’t look so flat.

Monochrome Magic: A Panda-Themed Hand-Stamped Card

Monochrome Magic: A Panda-Themed Hand-Stamped Card – Wild & Sweet. Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I have this simple card to share with you today. The whole image is just one stamp. It’s stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black. My idea was for the finished card to look like a pencil sketch, hence no colouring.

The black and white theme makes a striking card. The image pops from the background. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies which have a torn edge effect. This works with the pencil sketch theme of the card.

Kiddin’ Around – How to Use Die Cuts to Make A Child’s Card

Kiddin’ Around – How to Use Die Cuts to Make A Child’s Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I told myself a little story when I designed this card. The child has been busy building his castle using his building blocks. He is now trying to cast a magic spell to make his toy castle into a real one.

All the elements bar the little “wizard” are created using the dies and cardstock. The “wizard” is stamped and die-cut. There is co-ordinating paper and the dies do cut out some of the images. In the example below I’ve used the image from the paper.

Simple Focal Image Design – Thank You Card – Pansy Patch

Simple Focal Image Design – Thank You Card – Pansy Patch – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love the Pansy Patch stamp set. I’ve not used it for a while but I think it deserves to be used again. This design is very simple with a single flower as the focal image. Pansy Patch is a two-step stamp set. This gives the flower detail and dimension. I made this card in two different colour ways. Which do you prefer?

One Sheet Wonder – How to Make an Easter Basket

One Sheet Wonder – How to Make an Easter Basket – Easter Bunny – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo. Lincoln UK

I love these little baskets. Aren’t they cute? They are made using one sheet of 6″ X 6″ paper and some scrap cardstock for the handle. They are easy to make. There is no glueing and everything is held together with only two brads.

The paper is Glorious Gingham. The colour above is Pretty Peacock and below is Lemon Lime Twist. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

measurements

Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 6″ X 6″ scored at 2″ on all sides
Pretty Peacock / Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock – 1/2″ X 11″

The cute little bunny is from the Easter bunny set and I’ve done a little colouring on the cheeks and ears using Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. These do bleed through the card so I punched an extra “blank” bunny to back these on to.

Until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Make a Tri Fold Birthday Card with a Flap Opening

Make a Tri Fold Birthday Card with a Flap Opening – Around The Bend Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I created this decorative flap using the Around the Bend Dies. I used the scallop border die to cut the cardbase itself. Then, I used this decorative border die with Basic White cardstock to create this lacy pattern. I love the effect.

The flowers are fussy cut from the Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper (DSP). I added some gold sequins to give the flower centres some sparkle.
