How to Make This Penguin Snowflake Card

How to Make This Penguin Snowflake Card- Penguin Place / Snow Crystal – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I love how bright and white the heat-embossed snowflake looks against the red of the designer series paper. It acts as a perfect background for this cute little penguin. Do you love penguins? I have a friend who is mad about them. I was thinking of her when I made this card.

The Penguin Place stamp set has a matching punch for the penguin. I fussy cut out his hat and scarf. It is very simple fussy cutting but still, I was impressed with the outcome. I used the gold glimmer paper to give somewhere for my penguin to stand so he was floating. It adds that essential Christmas sparkle to the card.

How to Use the Snowball Accent Puff Paint

How to Use the Snowball Accent Puff Paint – Santa Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I’ve used the Santa Delivery stamp set before and am in love with it. It’s just so cute. It really says Christmas to me. I’ve coloured it using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers as before. I do find it so relaxing, I can just lose myself in the colouring.

For a while, I’ve wanted to use the Snowball Accents Puff paint but it has just sat in my stash. I decided to use it at least. Here are my thoughts. It does puff up nicely. The puff is not solid but more squishy. It also is very light which is great for posting. You can see above I’ve used a small line of paint under the wheels of the train. Try to keep your line of paint quite thin as the thicker it is the longer it will take to puff up. Do make sure you get your heat tool, nice and hot before you bring it to the paint. It really needs to be hot to get the paint to puff up. If you get it hot before you bring it to the card there is less chance of your paper warping.

Christmas Scottie Dog – Make This Now

Christmas Scottie Dog – Make This Now – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I love these cute little doggies. They are so sweet. They do remind me of Jock from Lady & the Tramp. I just want to cuddle them all. I love how the Poppy Parade (Red) contrasts with the Bermuda Bay background. I did an all Poppy Parade version below. Which do you prefer?

Make an Advent Treat Box

Make an Advent Treat Box – Design a Treat Box – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

These are such dinky little treat boxes. The Design a Treat Box die cuts out the whole box for you as well as giving all the score lines. Included in the die are lots of extras. There are the numbers to make an advent calendar as well as the little labels. Also provided are pieces to change your little treat box into cute critters.

Deer - Make an Advent Treat Box - Design a Treat Box - Crafting with Ashee - Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Lincoln UK — Deer – Make an Advent Treat Box – Design a Treat Box – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I’ve used the sparkly very vanilla glimmer paper to make my little labels but it doesn’t show up well on camera. Cameras I’ve found hate sparkle and glitter. The number die is one strip so you can cut all the numbers in one go. The numbers are cut individually but the die is one strip. You can you the positive or the negative of the number image. You could cut them into different colours and inlay the dies for a different effect.

Snowman Magic – How To Make This Card

Snowman Magic – How To Make This Card – Snowman Magic – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

I love the die I’ve used to cut out the frame for this card. It would also make a perfect shaker pocket don’t you think? The snowman is sitting on a snowbank cut from Very Vanilla glimmer paper. The camera doesn’t pick up the lovely glittery effect at all, but trust me it is there.

The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder to match the snowy vibe of the card.

How to Mask an Area of a Card – Ink Blending

How to Mask an Area of a Card – Ink Blending – Merriest Moments – Christmas Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

The photo doesn’t do this card justice. It is difficult to photograph the variations and depth the ink blending gives this card.

In this Focus Friday project, I’m looking at using masking paper to create an image on the card. Here I’ve used it to make this perfect white circle surrounded by the inked background. I’ve used the layering circle dies to cut the circle out of masking paper. You can re-use this mask so keep the backing paper safe.

This is a very simple design. I’ve cut out 3 tags using the Celebration Tag Dies and Tailored Tag Dies. They are layered up so the holes on the tag match but at different angles. An easy design but very effective.

Need a Christmas Card in a Rush?

Need a Christmas Card in a Rush? – Spruced Up – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

This is very simple card to make. You can make a quite a few in a short space of time. Great card to get the kids involved as well. These card fit perfectly in the little card box we made in the last post. Together they are great gift.

This is Focus Friday card. During this month we are looking at different masking techniques. You may wonder where I’ve used this technique in the card above. It was for the sentiment. The original sentiment read “Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year”. I only wanted Merry Christmas and I wanted the word Christmas to below Merry. I masked off parts of the sentiment to achieve this. See the video below to find out how.
