An Easy Gift Bag with Curves Make it With Me Today

An Easy Gift Bag with Curves – Make it With Me Today – Sweet Talk Paper – A Wish for Everything – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I just love how good this bag looks. It has sturdy handles as they are made out of two layers of cardstock. The bag is really simple to make but it really looks lovely. A beautiful bag to house a special gift for someone that makes your heart leap.

The Sweet Talk paper is divine. Yes, it is aimed at Valentine’s Day but I do remember that love is not just for Valentine’s Day. You can give a gift to someone you love at any time of the year. You don’t need a special occasion.

How to Emboss on a Blended Ink Background

How to Emboss on a Blended Ink Background – Focus Friday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to another Focus Friday Project. Every month I chose a certain product or group of tecninques and each Friday for that month we focus on one specific technique. This month it has been embossing folders. Today we are looking at embossing onto an inked background.

I used a blending brush to ink the background first with Petal Pink and then Magenta Madness. I tried to get a varied mix of colours. The background was then embossed with the new Hive 3D embossing folder. The ink blending really highlights all the gorgeous texture from the embossing folder.

How to Use Debossing on Your Cards – Focus Friday

How to Use Debossing on Your Cards – Focus Friday – Flowers of Friendship – Dotty Hearts – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to another Focus Friday blog and video. Today we are focusing on debossing. When you emboss there are always two sides to each design, the front that is embossed and the back that is debossed. We are using that reverse side here today. This is the Dotty Hearts embossing folder. It is a mini one and is perfect for creating a panel on a card as I’ve done here.

Simple Colouring with Alcohol Markers

Simple Colouring with Alcohol Markers – Stampin’ Blends – Blessings of Home – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

If you follow my posts you will know I love to colour and paint. I find it so theraputic. It makes me happy. This lovely image is all one stamp from the new Blessings at Home set. It stamps beautifully and is so easy to colour. I’ve used the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers here as they make blending so easy.

If you are worried about colouring don’t be. Just start playing. Learn from any mistakes you may. Take you time and be easy on yourself. I colour from light to dark but you could equally go the other way. One trick is less is more. It is easy to add more colour but much more difficult to take it away. Just enjoy the process and of course have fun.

See Me Use my Free Stamp Set. Catching Butterflies

See Me Use my Free Stamp Set. Catching Butterflies – Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This is one of the gorgeous stamp sets I got free during Sale-a-bration (SAB). I love it. Such a simple design and perfect for little girl cards this Spring. What is SAB you may ask? SAB is a promotion currently running with Stampin’ Up! where you can get free stamp sets with any purchase over £45.00. Too good to miss out!

I’ve used the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers to colour this scene in. I limited the colour palette to Reds, Oranges and Yellows to keep the card vibrant and bright. As you know I love colouring so I just relaxed and enjoyed myself colouring this card.

How to Print using an Embossing Folder

How to Print using an Embossing Folder – Focus Friday – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This is a very simple card. I’ve used the complementary colours of Blue (Misty Moonlight) and Orange (Pumpkin Pie). These colours will pop next to each other as they are opposite each other in the colour wheel.

This is the second project in the Focus Friday – Embossing Folder series. This week we are looking at how to print using embossing folders. I’ve used the Checks & Dots embossing folder to create this lovely background. I used a brayer to ink my embossing folder. Check out the video below for more details. It’s such a fun technique.

Let’s Have Otter Fun – Simple Colouring – Card Tutorial

Let’s Have Otter Fun – Simple Colouring – Card Tutorial – Awesome Otter – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

Isn’t this little fellow cute? I love him!! Such a simple card but so pretty. I’ve coloured the otter using just two colours of Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers; Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake. There is no sentiment on this card on purpose so it can be used for whatever occasion you chose. Sometimes it’s good to have cards that can fit multiple purposes.
