Tone on Tone Effect – How to Achieve it with Stencils

Tone on Tone Effect – How to Achieve it with Stencils – Focus Friday – Happiest of Birthday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. Today we are looking at using stencils to give a tone on tone effect on cards. You can see this effect in the picture above. It gives some added interest to the background of the card and helps makes the sentiment really pop. For extra interest, I have added a velum doily to the top and bottom of the sentiment. This is an extra layer of interest but you can still the background behind it.

Tyger Tyger – How to Make an Easel Card

Tyger Tyger – How to Make an Easel Card – Wild Cats – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

The In the Wild suite reminds me of the poem, The Tyger by William Blake. It’s a poem I’ve always loved. This suite is filled with big cats such as tigers and leopards. I’ve focused on the tiger to make this easel card. Just a point to note is that the dies do cut out some of the images in the paper. Great bonus!!

Windmill Dies – How to Use them – Stampin’ Up!

Windmill Dies – How to Use them – Stampin’ Up! – Crafting with Ashee – Flowering Tulips – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I have to say I love seeing windmills as you explore the countryside. I went to Amsterdam back in 2017 for Stampin’ Up! Onstage Live and have tons of photos I want to still scrapbook. I think this windmill will make a cute embellishment on a page.

We actually have a windmill here in North Lincoln that dates back to 1798. I love driving by it and want to visit it next time it is open to the public. Another great photo for a scrapbook page.

How to Use the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set

How to Use the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set – Tulip Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

As I have said ad infinitum my favourite flowers are tulips. I love them. This bunch of tulips makes me so happy. I’ve made it into a mother’s day card as mother’s day is on 27th March here in the UK. The Flowering of Tulips stamp set is a two-step stamp set. I used the stamparatus to stamp it and made the stamping so easy.

How to Use Layering Stencils – Focus Friday

How to Use Layering Stencils – Focus Friday – Butterflies & Flowers Stencil – Best Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to Focus Friday. For the month of March, we are focusing on stencils. Today we are looking at layering stencils. Layering stencils allow you to build up detail, depth and texture to an image. I’ve used the butterfly image here from the Butterflies & Flowers stencil pack. You can use more than two colours if you wish but I would advise you to start with two and build it up from there.

Make an Easy Ladybird Birthday Card

Make an Easy Ladybird Birthday Card – Hello Ladybug – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

Look at these adorable ladybirds. I found out that in North America they say Ladbug but we in the UK of course say Ladybird. It really is amazing how many differences they are between proper English and American English.

The Hello Ladybug stamp set comes with a matching punch which I haven’t used here. This is just the same stamp repeat stamped. It is a two step stamping set and really easy to line by hand. I didn’t use the stamparatus and these ladybirds came out great.

Just to Say You Are Amazing – Awesome Otters

Just to Say You Are Amazing – Awesome Otters – Focus Friday – Watercolour Pencils – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

Welcome to the last Focus Friday blog of February. This week we are looking at using watercolour pencils with water painters to colour. As you remember this month our focus has been on colouring. We have looked at colouring with alcohol markers, watercolour pencils and blender pens and watercolouring with ink pads.

Watercolouring is a very forgiving medium. I’ve used the shimmery white paper here to withstand all the water. The pencils give you a lot of control and you can add as much or as little water as you choose.

How to White Heat Emboss on Black Card

How to White Heat Emboss on Black Card – Happiest of Birthdays – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This is a really simple card but so effective. I always love the magic of heat embossing. The dull powder becomes glossy and beautiful. The only real way to get the sentiment to show bright white on dark cardstock is to white heat emboss it.

I’ve matted the black on a lovely piece of patterned paper from the Sunshine & Rainbows stack. I love the bright and saturated colours.

Daffodils How to Water Colour with Ink Pads

Daffodils How to Water Colour with Ink Pads – Daffodil Daydream – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This month, the Focus Friday videos have been concentrating on colouring. Today we are looking a colouring with ink pads and water painters. You can also use a reinker. I tend to add a dot of reinker to the lid of the ink pads. I pick this colour up with my water painter. Don’t touch your brush to the actual ink pad though.

Am important consideration when watercolouring is what paper to use. I use either shimmer white cardstock or our Fluid 100 watercolour paper. If you use Basic White you will find the paper will pill. You need a paper that will stand up to the amount of water you will be using. Watercolour paper will have a texture to it so it is useful to use the Stamparatus get to a crisp clean image. I used Stazon ink to stamp as it’s permanent.
