Try Something Different – Easy Z Fold Card

Try Something Different – Easy Z Fold Card – Sweet as a Peach – Sweet Symmetry – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

This is a fun spring Z Fold card. I’ve matted pattern on pattern. It works as the one pattern is very tonal and you only see a little of it. I’ve done this card a few times with different paper and embellishments. There is still a good space to write a message. There are quite a few measurements so I’ve listed them below.

Make a Full Card Shaker Card With Me – Focus Friday

Make a Full Card Shaker Card With Me – Focus Friday – Pansy Patch – Pansy Petals – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of April, we are looking at all things shaker cards. So are you ready to shake with me? Today we are looking at a full card shaker card. This is a great card to make as it “recycles” any pieces of plastic acetate packaging you have.

I love this card as you can see all the pretty paper in the background. I haven’t added too many shaker elements as this card has no dimension and you don’t want to hide the beautiful paper.

measurements

Fresh Freesia Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
Pansy Patch – 14.35cm X 10cm
Strip of Basic White that is 2.5cm wide
Piece of acetate packaging that measures at least 16cm X 11cm – I used an old C6 size clear envelope

Using the Waves Die – Make an Ocean Scene Card

Using the Waves Die – Make an Ocean Scene Card – Sailing Home – Waves of Inspiration – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

This card is totally out of my comfort zone. I’m not generally a seaside type of person. I prefer to explore historical areas and learn about how people live. I’m really pleased with how this turned out. I love the waves dies. You can do so much with them. I plan to use them again with lots of different techniques.

As a teenager, I remember visiting the lighthouse at Cape Point with my Granny. My mother and Aunt climbed to the top and stayed downstairs as I was afraid of heights. This lighthouse reminds me of those special memories.

Easy Thank You Card – Ornate Thanks – Embossing

Easy Thank You Card – Ornate Thanks – Embossing – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

This is a companion card to the gift box that I made in the previous blog post. They both use the “You’re a Peach” designer series paper (DSP). This is a really easy card to make but still has that wow factor due to the heat embossed sentiment. It’s heat embossed in gold embossing powder to match the gold metallic sheet that I’ve used a mat for both the sentiment and DSP.

This is a really good size box and so sturdy. I love this “You’re a Peach” paper but found I haven’t used it for ages so I decided to rectify this.

Tone on Tone Effect – How to Achieve it with Stencils

Tone on Tone Effect – How to Achieve it with Stencils – Focus Friday – Happiest of Birthday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. Today we are looking at using stencils to give a tone on tone effect on cards. You can see this effect in the picture above. It gives some added interest to the background of the card and helps makes the sentiment really pop. For extra interest, I have added a velum doily to the top and bottom of the sentiment. This is an extra layer of interest but you can still the background behind it.

Making a Small Gift Box using the “In the Wild” Paper

Making a Small Gift Box using the “In the Wild” Paper – Sunny Sentiments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

This cute little gift box is a companion piece to the card I made in the previous blog post. It uses the gorgeous “In the Wild” designer series paper. The paper is all about the big cats, mainly tigers and leopards. I’ve focused on the tigers for both this box and the previous card.

I do hope that Stampin’ Up! will bring out another collection with animals from the veld such as elephants, zebras & giraffes. I loved seeing them in the national parks back in South Africa. If you didn’t know all my maternal family are back in South Africa so it holds a special place for me.

Tyger Tyger – How to Make an Easel Card

Tyger Tyger – How to Make an Easel Card – Wild Cats – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

The In the Wild suite reminds me of the poem, The Tyger by William Blake. It’s a poem I’ve always loved. This suite is filled with big cats such as tigers and leopards. I’ve focused on the tiger to make this easel card. Just a point to note is that the dies do cut out some of the images in the paper. Great bonus!!
