Learn How to Heat Embossing Through a Stencil

Learn How to Heat Embossing Through a Stencil – Focus Friday – Plenty of Patterns – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Welcome to another Focus Friday post. Every month I chose a particular area of crafting. Each Friday in that month we explore a different technique in that area. Today we are looking at using heat embossing with your stencils or masks.

This is actually a very easy technique. I just have a few tips to share with you. Firstly clean your mask/stencil of Versarmark ink well so that it doesn’t dry on the stencil. Secondly, make sure you tape your stencil down to your cardstock with a low tack tape so that it doesn’t move around. Thirdly have a little paintbrush handy to brush off any excess powder.

Windmill Dies – How to Use them – Stampin’ Up!

Windmill Dies – How to Use them – Stampin’ Up! – Crafting with Ashee – Flowering Tulips – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I have to say I love seeing windmills as you explore the countryside. I went to Amsterdam back in 2017 for Stampin’ Up! Onstage Live and have tons of photos I want to still scrapbook. I think this windmill will make a cute embellishment on a page.

We actually have a windmill here in North Lincoln that dates back to 1798. I love driving by it and want to visit it next time it is open to the public. Another great photo for a scrapbook page.

How to Use Embossing Paste & Stencils

How to Use Embossing Paste & Stencils – Focus Friday – Butterflies & Flowers – Sunny Sentiments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to another Focus Friday project. Today we are looking at using embossing paste through a stencil. This cardstock started off as a plain piece of Gorgeous Grape card. Look how pretty it is now!! One tip is to wash your stencil straight away after using the embossing paste. It is so much easier to clean while the paste is still wet. If you like it dry it is hell to clean.

How to Use the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set

How to Use the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set – Tulip Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

As I have said ad infinitum my favourite flowers are tulips. I love them. This bunch of tulips makes me so happy. I’ve made it into a mother’s day card as mother’s day is on 27th March here in the UK. The Flowering of Tulips stamp set is a two-step stamp set. I used the stamparatus to stamp it and made the stamping so easy.

Pansy Petals * Love Hearts * Gift Box – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This little box holds four little love hearts. What a dinky little gift. I have a little box of sweets and chocolates in my craft room that I keep specifically to use for craft projects. This box is designed to fit these sweets. I have tons of the Pansy Petals designer series paper (DSP) which I am trying to use up. It’s way too pretty not to use.

How to Use Layering Stencils – Focus Friday

How to Use Layering Stencils – Focus Friday – Butterflies & Flowers Stencil – Best Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to Focus Friday. For the month of March, we are focusing on stencils. Today we are looking at layering stencils. Layering stencils allow you to build up detail, depth and texture to an image. I’ve used the butterfly image here from the Butterflies & Flowers stencil pack. You can use more than two colours if you wish but I would advise you to start with two and build it up from there.

Make an Easy Ladybird Birthday Card

Make an Easy Ladybird Birthday Card – Hello Ladybug – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

Look at these adorable ladybirds. I found out that in North America they say Ladbug but we in the UK of course say Ladybird. It really is amazing how many differences they are between proper English and American English.

The Hello Ladybug stamp set comes with a matching punch which I haven’t used here. This is just the same stamp repeat stamped. It is a two step stamping set and really easy to line by hand. I didn’t use the stamparatus and these ladybirds came out great.

Just to Say You Are Amazing – Awesome Otters

Just to Say You Are Amazing – Awesome Otters – Focus Friday – Watercolour Pencils – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

Welcome to the last Focus Friday blog of February. This week we are looking at using watercolour pencils with water painters to colour. As you remember this month our focus has been on colouring. We have looked at colouring with alcohol markers, watercolour pencils and blender pens and watercolouring with ink pads.

Watercolouring is a very forgiving medium. I’ve used the shimmery white paper here to withstand all the water. The pencils give you a lot of control and you can add as much or as little water as you choose.
