Make a Thank You Card – Cut & Shuffle Technique

Make a Thank You Card – Cut & Shuffle Technique – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I know other people call this technique the slice and shuffle but for me it is cut and shuffle. You need 3 different pattern papers that complement each other and have the same measurements. In the video below I show you how to cut the paper and shuffle it to create potentially 3 different cards.

Easy Christmas Card – How to Heat Emboss with Stampin’ Up! Inks

Easy Christmas Card – How to Heat Emboss with Stampin’ Up! Inks – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Many times we forget that we can clear heat emboss with any of the 50 colours of Stampin’ Up! ink. You don’t need to have tons of different powders, just one will do the trick. The stamp set is More Wishes, a firm favourite of mine. I’ve used Cherry Cobbler ink above and Misty Moonlight below. Which looks best to you?

Make an Easy Grid Style Birthday Card

Make an Easy Grid Style Birthday Card – Choose Happy – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This card was one we made in a recent card club. I love the bold font and vibrant colours. It features the Choose Happy stamp set. I love his set. It is full of sentiments and lots of little images to use on cards or even in your planner. The version below is much more tonal using Balmy Blue and Moody Mauve. Which do you like better?

Frosted Forest – Easy Colouring with Layering Stencils

Frosted Forest – Easy Colouring with Layering Stencils – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I am in love with layering stencils. They make gorgeous cards and are great for those who don’t like colouring. There are 3 stencils for each of the 3 trees in the stamp set. These allow you to colour the trees for Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. The choice is yours.

Make a Gorgeous Butterfly-inspired Card

Make a Gorgeous Butterfly-inspired Card – Sketched Butterflies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’ve been watering the plants every few days in the garden. It is so peaceful, watching the wildlife go about their business. I love watching the butterflies flittering from flower to flower. So beautiful. This was the inspiration for this simple care. Above is a blue version of this card and below is an orange and yellow version. Which do you prefer?

Inspiring Snapdragons – Just Use the Dies – Easy Card Tutorial

Inspiring Snapdragons – Just Use the Dies – Easy Card Tutorial – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love it when Stampin’ Up! makes dies that can be used with the matching stamp set or entirely on their own. It increases the versatility of the set and as the saying it gives you more bang for your buck.

This is a card I designed for my cards my post club. I can’t include stamped images in my kits as per Stampin’ Up! policy so I focus on pretty papers and die cuts. This card fits the bill on both counts, wouldn’t you agree?

How to Use A White Pen to Add Detail to a Stenciled Image

How to Use A White Pen to Add Detail to a Stenciled Image – Enduring Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love stamp sets that have matching dies and stencils. They make creating beautiful cards a breeze. As a mixed media artist, I do love all the finishing details and one of them is using a white pen. I’ve used it here to highlight the flower centres and petals. The images pop. Do you agree?

My tip is to ensure your ink is totally dry, not just touch dry. Your pen will work much better. I gave the image a blast from my heat tool to ensure it was dry.
