The Masking Technique – Playing in the Rain

The Masking Technique – Playing in the Rain – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

Isn’t this little bunny having fun in the rain? It reminds me of children and puddles. They are drawn to them like a magnet. I love watching them so free and happy playing in the puddles. Good fun!!

These images are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. They are easy to colour. I made a mask of the bunny rabbit so that I could stamp the raindrops and not have them cover the image. To create the mask I just stamped the image on some masking paper and then fussy cut it out. I save the masks for future use in the front of my stamp case.

How to Use 1 Design – Get 2 Distinct Cards

How to Use 1 Design – Get 2 Distinct Cards – Go To Greetings – Fresh as Daisy – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! – Lincoln UK

This is a simple design. It is what I call an equal panel design as each panel is the size as the rest. Here I’ve used it in a horizontal design. The pattern does match across the 3 panels and this does add to the overall effect.

Below I’ve used the same design but now in a vertical format. It gives a totally different effect but is essentially the same design. Which do yo prefer?

How to use Masking in Cardmaking

How to use Masking in Cardmaking – Happy Hedgehogs – Quiet Meadow – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Masking is a great technique to use when building a scene. It allows you to make some images appear in the foreground and push others into the background. I’ve used masking when stamping these toadstools. I stamped the toadstool on some masking paper and fussy cut the image out. The masked image is stored in the front of my stamp case and can be used time and time again.

Make a Card for a Friend – By My Side

Make a Card for a Friend – By My Side – Hello Ladybug – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Just a little boy and his dog, how cute!! This stamp set is “By My Side”. I’ve used it a few times but it has mainly just sat on the shelf. I really need to use it more as it’s so sweet. The image is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love colouring and this was a lovely relaxing card to make.

How to Ink Blend Two Colours Together

How to Ink Blend Two Colours Together – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I like blending inks. You can make your own custom backgrounds so easily. I blended Lost Lagoon and Coastal Cabana here. I started off with the lighter colour and then blended in the darker colour, going back and forward between the two to achieve a blend.

The card below is a different colour way. The colours are Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral. Which do you like best?

Make a Simple Birthday Shaker Card

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

Do you like shaker cards? I love making shaker cards. This is my latest version. What do you think? They are very easy to make. I’m finding it a great way to use up all the sequins in my stash which is always a bonus. A great tip when using our foam strips is to remove the backing before you apply them. This makes them much easier to manipulate.

A Fun Way to Use Countryside Corners

A Fun Way to Use Countryside Corners – Seasonal Branches – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This is a lovely tonal birthday card. I’ve used the Countryside Corners stamp set to create these frames. It is one stamp but the dies allow you to cut out each individual frame. I store any spare frames with the stamp set in a little envelope. I’ve popped up everything up on dimensionals. It came out really well I think. Below is a different pattern, which do you prefer?

This is another card we made in May Card club. This is an online card that happens in my Facebook Group. You can find out all the details here. The colours I’ve used for the daisies are Basic White and the new colour Lemon Lolly. I think it really pops well against the dark designer series paper. The sentiment is from Timeless Arrangements. I’ve heat-embossed it in white so it pops. This card has been made in two colour ways. Which do you prefer?

Balloon Celebration*Make an Easy Card – Beautiful Balloons – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I’ve used the Beautiful Balloons dies on their own here. The paper is Bright and Beautiful. I love that the paper has these variations in colour as it gives the ballons extra interest with no extra work. The embossing folder in the background is Raindrops and I love it. It just adds a little something to the background. This is a card we made in May Card Club. You can find out more about my classes and clubs here. Some are in person and some are online.
