How to White Heat Emboss on Black Card

How to White Heat Emboss on Black Card – Happiest of Birthdays – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This is a really simple card but so effective. I always love the magic of heat embossing. The dull powder becomes glossy and beautiful. The only real way to get the sentiment to show bright white on dark cardstock is to white heat emboss it.

I’ve matted the black on a lovely piece of patterned paper from the Sunshine & Rainbows stack. I love the bright and saturated colours.

Make a Card to Say Hello to a Friend

Make a Card to Say Hello to a Friend – Friendly Hello – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln, UK.

Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana are two of my favourite colours. They go so well together alongside Pool Party. I’ve kept this card in those tones and love the outcome.

I myself love to watch crafting videos on YouTube. Normally I would just add my sentiment to this background without much embellishment. I’m trying to move out of my comfort zone. I’ve used two punches, the spring and the bough punch to create these embellishments in coordinating colours.

Daffodils How to Water Colour with Ink Pads

Daffodils How to Water Colour with Ink Pads – Daffodil Daydream – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This month, the Focus Friday videos have been concentrating on colouring. Today we are looking a colouring with ink pads and water painters. You can also use a reinker. I tend to add a dot of reinker to the lid of the ink pads. I pick this colour up with my water painter. Don’t touch your brush to the actual ink pad though.

Am important consideration when watercolouring is what paper to use. I use either shimmer white cardstock or our Fluid 100 watercolour paper. If you use Basic White you will find the paper will pill. You need a paper that will stand up to the amount of water you will be using. Watercolour paper will have a texture to it so it is useful to use the Stamparatus get to a crisp clean image. I used Stazon ink to stamp as it’s permanent.

Using Daffodil Dies to Make a Simple Spring Card

Using Daffodil Dies to Make a Simple Spring Card – Daffodil Daydream – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This is a card we made in January Card Club. Card Club is online in my Facebook Group. If you like this project why don’t you consider joining the Club? You can find all the details here.

I love daffodils. They are so happy and yellow. I look forward to seeing them every year. This card is totally made from die-cuts. You can sponge the flowers for added interest as well. If you shape the flowers as you stick them together you will get a 3D effect.

How to use Blender Pens with Watercolour Pencils

How to use Blender Pens with Watercolour Pencils – Awesome Otters – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

It’s Friday so it must be Focus Friday time. Welcome to this post. Today our Focus Friday is going to be focusing on how to use watercolour pencils with blender pens.

Traditionally watercolour pencils are used with, you guessed it water. However this is not the only way to use them, you can use them on their own as colouring pencils or as I’m doing today with blender pens. Each way gives a different effect. Experiment and see which you prefer. Check out the video below for a tutorial.

This is a very simple bag to make. The sentiment is actually a journaling card from the Hand Penned Memory & More cards. I fussy cut the sentiment out and stuck it on at an angle for a little sass. You can leave the base open and store the bag flat, just sticking it when you want to use it.

How to Make a Sweet Talk – Fold Flat Gift Box

How cute is this little box? I’ve made it a few times and always love how easy it is to construct. This is my Valentine’s version using the Sweet Talk designer series paper (DSP) from the new catalogue. The trick to making sure everything folds together easily is to round the corners of the flaps on the bottom and top closures.

There is an easy reference template below alongside the video tutorial. Do check it out and then share your creations in my Facebook group.

Make a Spring Card – Have Fun Colouring with Me

Make a Spring Card – Have Fun Colouring with Me – Friendly Hello – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

Welcome to another post in my Focus Friday series. Each month I chose a new set of techniques or products to focus on. For the month of February, we are going to be focusing on Colouring. Today’s post is all about colouring with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.

I love this method of colouring as it’s quick and easy. The results are great and there are no lines from colouring to worry about. Stampin’ Blend markers come in a light and dark of each colour making shading and blending so easy. I tend to put down my light colour first and then add accents with a darker one. You do the reverse, of course, it’s what works best for you. As with all colouring take your time, build up the layers and practice makes perfect.
