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.

Fold Over Top Bag – Come & Make it with Me

Fold Over Top Bag – Come & Make it with Me – Heart & Home Designer Series Paper – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

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 to Make a Sweet Talk – Fold Flat Gift Box – Hydgrangea Haven – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

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.

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.
