How to use Counting Sheep in a Fun Way

How to use Counting Sheep in a Fun Way – Stamp Set – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

So, I will be honest. When I saw this stamp set and matching dies in the Sale-a-bration catalogue I wasn’t sold on the idea. I was lucky enough to have a pre-order big enough that I’d earned a few free items. I decided to get them and gave them a whirl. This is what I came up with. It’s cute!!

I inked the background using a blending brush. The moon was masked using masking paper though you could also use a post-it note to do the job as well. I love the contrast between the moon, the sheep and the dark sky. So I think you will agree the sheep stamp set and matching dies were a good choice. Show me what you are making with this set.

Making a Quick Watercolour Card – Feels Like Home

Making a Quick Watercolour Card – Feels Like Home – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love to watercolour. It is so soothing. The effect is gorgeous as well. The watercolour pencils are a great way to start as they give you control. Watercolour painting is very forgiving so why not give it a try?

I’ve used shimmery white cardstock here. You could use Fluid 100 watercolour paper but don’t use basic white as the paper is not strong enough to cope with all the water. Right paper for the job and you are halfway there already.

Using Delicate Dahlias to Make a Bright Birthday

Using Delicate Dahlias to Make a Bright Birthday Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Oh my gosh, I’m elated with how this card turned out. This is the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and oh my I love it. This pink is Magenta Madness. I was watching Gardeners World yesterday and they featured a dahlia, similar in colour. I love dahlias with their big, bold and bright blooms. They sing and dance and are not shy about it. This would be a perfect birthday card for me. I hope you like it too.

Nuts About Squirrels? Wishing you Happy Birthday

Nuts About Squirrels? Wishing you Happy Birthday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Did you feed the squirrels when you were a child? I did. Initially, I’m told I was scared but then I overcame my fear and did it. I haven’t forgotten their soft little mouths on hand as they snaffled a treat. Sometimes there was a couple and you had to have each hand out so they didn’t fight for their treat. I still love watching them burying their nuts and flying through the trees. Here is cute pair that wishing you a Happy Birthday.

Beautiful Penned – Thank You Card

Beautiful Penned – Thank You Card – Sunny Sentiments – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK – Crafting with Ashee

I love making thank you cards. We don’t send enough of them I feel. Such a little gesture can mean so much to someone. This one is very simple and has quite a few layers that pop from each other. The black and white designer series paper (DSP) is a freebie I got in Sale-a-bration. I love getting free paper but then what crafter wouldn’t?

How to Make a Penguin Shopping List Cover

How to Make a Penguin Shopping List Cover – Penguin Playmates – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK – Crafting with Ashee.

I love, love, love how this came out. It is so cute!! I think my favourite critter on this paper is the sleeping fox. As some of you may know my team name is the “Crafty Foxes” so this really sang to me. This is made from two shopping list notebooks I got from a supermarket ages ago. So easy to make and a wonderful little gift to someone. It would be great to start jotting down any ideas you have for Christmas.

Make a Striking Birthday Card – Use Your Die Cuts

Make a Striking Birthday Card – Use Your Die Cuts – Many Layered Blossoms Die – Blossoms in Bloom – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK – Crafting with Ashee.

This image is all one die cut. Can you believe it? It’s so pretty. You could either used an adhesive sheet on the cardstock before you die cut or just good old tombow. It die-cuts beautifully and looks so striking. The background DSP is Peaceful Prints. The sentiment is matted on the sparkly Be Dazzling Paper. Both of these papers were free during Sale-a-bration.

Stretch Your Supplies – How to Gut Paper

Stretch Your Supplies – How to Gut Paper – Harvest Meadow – Quiet Meadow – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

A simple and beautiful card for a sad occasion. I backed the focal image on the designer series paper that is matted on the cardbase. Gutting means cutting out the interior of the paper leaving just a shell. I used the Stampin’ Up! trimmer which makes this so easy. This is a great way to save paper and stretch your supplies.

Autumn Style Thank You Card – Made Easy

Autumn Style Thank You Card – Made Easy – Beauty of Friendship – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card is so simple but so effective. I used the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper (DSP) to cut out the canopy of the tree. It is the same paper I’ve used in the background. I gutted the centre of the paper to make the tree canopy. This means I cut out the centre and then still use the outer shell. The basic white layer on top hides all the mess. This is a great way to make your DSP stretch further.

How to Make a Fold Flat Gift Box / Decoration

How to Make a Fold Flat Gift Box / Decoration – Penguin PlayMates – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve made this box a few times but this time I added ribbon to make it into a hanging decoration. The paper is the Penguin Playmates DSP that is free during sale-a-bration. You could quite easily make this with any patterned paper though to suit any occasion. I think this will look dinky hanging from the tree with a little treat inside. Handmade decorations are so special I think. They have a story to them and can become items to treasure through the years.
