Sketched Butterflies – How to Watercolour with Ink Pads

Sketched Butterflies – How to Watercolour with Ink Pads – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love butterflies and was so happy to see this new butterfly set in the catalogue. These gorgeous butterflies are watercoloured using the Stampin’ Up! ink pads. If you are going to watercolour, always remember to use suitable paper. I have used Fluid 100 watercolour paper here. Basic White won’t stand up to water as well as Fluid 100 and you are liable to get pilling of your paper.

One trick I employed here is to black heat emboss my images before I watercoloured them. This helps to keep the colour in the lines and stop it flowing everywhere.

How I Made this Lovely Floral Birthday Card

How I Made this Lovely Floral Birthday Card – Flowers of Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love this bright floral bunch of flowers. These are all new in-colours. They work well together. The Flowers of Beauty stamp set is a two-step stamp set. The florals are stamped and die-cut as one element, giving you many individual florals to arrange as you wish.

Make a Pirate Adventure Card

Make a Pirate Adventure Card – Kiddin’ Around – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love these children on their pretend boat seeking out adventures. So cute!! I’ve built the scene to look as if they are at sea but we know it’s all in the imagination. I used to love making up stories as a child and playing games based on stories I read—different times, before computers.

Large Bold Background Stamps – Easy Card Design Tutorial

Large Bold Background Stamps – Easy Card Design Tutorial – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Leaf Collection is a large bold background stamp. It is a busy background stamp and I feel all it needs to make a card is a sentiment. When I designed this card I was limited in the stamp sets I could use. I would have loved to use the retired Biggest Wish stamp set. I do think it would do well with a larger sentiment. When I get my main order from the new catalogue I am going to redesign this card with some different sentiments.

The above card uses Shy Shamrock and the one below is Pretty in Pink. They are both new in-colours I love them.

Cheerful Daisies – One Idea for a Floral Birthday Card

Cheerful Daisies – One Idea for a Floral Birthday Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love this colour combo for these daisies. It is Pretty in Pink and Petunia Pop. They are two of the new in-colours. Aren’t they pretty? Daisies have a special place in my heart as my Granny always had a yellow daisy bush in her garden.

Cheerful Daisies is a two-step stamp set. Instead of stamping the outline in black, I used Petunia Pop for a softer feel. I love how it turned out.

Card Tutorial – Easy Card with a Tuck Spot for a Gift Card / Voucher – Attention Shoppers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This is a simple diagonal card design. I cut the designer series paper (DSP) on the diagonal, point to point and used both pretty patterns. The stamp set is Attention Shoppers and the sentiment is perfect for this card with the two gift bags.

If you open the card you will find a tuck spot for a gift card or voucher.
