I love the pop of red sequins in this card. It brings the whole card to life. Full disclosure, these sequins are from my stash and not Stampin’ Up! I have a huge stash of sequins and am on a mission to use them up. Are you trying to use anything up?

Shaker cards are fun interactive cards. The trick is to use good-quality foam strips and acetate that won’t tear easily. In the YouTube tutorial, I show how I used the scrap from my shaker window to back my shaker pocket. I love it when I can use up all the scraps, don’t you?

How to Use the Charming Duck Pond to Create a Scene Card

I loved this stamp set the minute I saw it in the catalogue. The coordinating Lilly Pond Lane designer series paper (DSP) makes this scene easy to create. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies as a window into my scene. The story I told myself when making this card was the one duck wishing the other a happy birthday.

The sentiment is white heat embossed on the DSP. You can see it but it doesn’t detract from the ducks.

This card has a woodland almost autumnal feel to it. I love these toadstools. They bring a pop of colour to an otherwise very neutral colour palette. I stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock and distressed the image using Crumb Cake ink. The toadstools are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol markers, my favourite colouring medium.

This is a simple card design. It makes the most of the gorgeous Unbound Beauty designer series paper (DSP). I’ve added some foliage to embellish the sentiment and wrapped some twine around the bottom portion of the card for extra interest. It doesn’t show very well on the photos but I’ve added clear Wink of Stella to the foliage for some extra sparkle.

I love how this card turned out. It screams summer to me. The cheeky expression on the bee is cute. The Bee Mine stamp set has a variety of different expressions you can use on the face of the bee or any critter for that matter. The stamp set pairs beautifully with the Full of Live designer series paper (DSP). I’ve used both sides of the sheet in this card so there is no waste.

Make a Sweet Card for a Sick Child – Card Tutorial – Tender Hearted – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

There is a story behind this card. As some of you may know I was under the care of Great Ormond Street Hospital for much of my childhood, mainly as an outpatient but sometimes an inpatient as well. I had a pink Care Bear that used to come into the hospital with me. The nurses would use our bears or dolls to demonstrate to us the procedures we were having. This was the inspiration for this card.

  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm

I love rainbow cards. Do you? They are bright, happy and fun. What is not to love? I made this rainbow by ink blending. The white butterflies from the Sketched Butterflies set pop against this colourful background.

My rainbow colours are Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue and Gorgeous Grape. I found they blended easily into each other. What colours would you use?
