How to – Ombre Stampin Technique

How to – Ombre Stampin Technique – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

This is a very technique to accomplish and provides a lovely graduation of colour on your image. I’ve used here one of my favourite sentiment stamp sets, Biggest Wish. I’ve used this set over and over again.

This card is been made in two colour ways. The teal one is Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana and the pink one is Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. Which do you like better? For both cards, I stamped the lighter ink first and then sponged on the darker one. The stamparatus makes this very easy to do.

Make a Pizza Style Candle Box – Cute Gift

Make a Pizza Style Candle Box – Cute Gift – Potted Geraniums – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love making cute little gifts like this. They don’t take long to make and don’t cost a lot but can brighten up a bad day for a special friend. It’s been ages since I made this style of box and I had to sit and work out the measurements for a while to get it right. It holds 4 delicious-smelling tea lights.

I don’t know about you but I have a ton of tea lights. They smell lovely and there is something special about watching the little flame. It reminds me of log fires and warm cosy fireplaces.

Pile of Pressies with a Kitty – Best Birthday

Pile of Pressies with a Kitty – Best Birthday – Warm Welcome – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I enjoyed making this card. The presents are actually just one stamp. I stamped it a few times and then cut them apart to create this stack of presents. The little kittie sitting atop the pile is just adorable. You just know the whole pile is going to fall over when he jumps off.

I’ve coloured these images using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers which as you know I love. The cards are done in two colour ways. Which do you prefer?

Look!! One Way to Use This Bundle – Framed Florets – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo. Lincoln UK

I love pink and blue as a colour combination. It’s one I find myself returning to again and again. This is the gorgeous Framed Florets bundle. The dies cut out not just the stamped images but also these lovely frames. These tiny hearts cut like butter. So easy and so pretty.

The floral images are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The clean and light feel of this card really appeals to me.

How to Make a Tag Shake

How to Make a Tag Shake – Celebrate with Tags – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love this cute Christmas Tag. The sequins are from my own stash. I have a ton of them and am on a mission to use them. The Celebration Tags dies make this cute pocket. I cut out the front and added some acetate to turn it into a shaker tag. The paper is the Storybook Gnomes and I love this Pacific Point blue with the little snowflakes.

Below you can see a different version in Garden Green. Which do you prefer?

Aren’t these lovely? They are super easy to make with the cracker and treat box die. It takes all the hassle out of making your own crackers. It measures and scores everything for you. All you have to do is fold and glue. The kids can even get involved.
