Make a Gorgeous Butterfly-inspired Card – Sketched Butterflies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’ve been watering the plants every few days in the garden. It is so peaceful, watching the wildlife go about their business. I love watching the butterflies flittering from flower to flower. So beautiful. This was the inspiration for this simple care. Above is a blue version of this card and below is an orange and yellow version. Which do you prefer?

How to Make a Beautifully Blended Rainbow Card

How to Make a Beautifully Blended Rainbow Card – Sketched Butterflies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

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?

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.

Butterfly Brilliance – Make This Vibrant Card With Me

Butterfly Brilliance – Make This Vibrant Card With Me – Celebrate Sunflowers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love the corals and oranges in this card. The butterflies are stamped in a black that I can heat emboss. I used Versafine onyx black. I then heat embossed in a clear embossing powder. This helps the watercolour stay in the lines. The watercolouring is very simple using Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral ink pads.

Happy Hedgehogs – Make a Scene – Birthday Card

Happy Hedgehogs – Make a Scene – Birthday Card – Blessings of Home – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love this cute little woodland scene. It’s coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love colouring as you know, so on when the audiobook and off I went. I’m listening to the third book in the Brighton Mysteries series by Elly Griffiths. Really enjoy them. What do you listen to while you craft?

See Me Use my Free Stamp Set. Catching Butterflies

See Me Use my Free Stamp Set. Catching Butterflies – Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This is one of the gorgeous stamp sets I got free during Sale-a-bration (SAB). I love it. Such a simple design and perfect for little girl cards this Spring. What is SAB you may ask? SAB is a promotion currently running with Stampin’ Up! where you can get free stamp sets with any purchase over £45.00. Too good to miss out!

I’ve used the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers to colour this scene in. I limited the colour palette to Reds, Oranges and Yellows to keep the card vibrant and bright. As you know I love colouring so I just relaxed and enjoyed myself colouring this card.

Make a Simple Thank You Card – Beauty Abounds

Make a Simple Thank You Card – Beauty Abounds stamp set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a super simple card to make. The background is stamped. I love stamping my own backgrounds as I can make them bespoke to me. I’ve used the Beauty Abounds set and these pretty bokeh style circles in Coastal Cabana. The deeper colour is Pretty Peacock and it goes so well with Coastal Cabana.

The butterflies from Butterfly Gala have a matching punch. I’ve picked up on the butterflies again with this cute little butterfly gems in Pretty Peacock. Easy Peasy!!

Rainbow of Butterflies Thank you Card

I have this rainbow of butterflies card to share with you today. The stamp set is Butterfly Gala and of course, it has a matching Butterfly Duet punch. These butterflies are a great way to use up your scraps.

The Butterfly Gala stamp set has four matching sets of butterflies making this an incredibly useful set. I have stamped them in black Memento ink on the following cardstock colours: Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Pacific Point, Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape.

The rainbow effect is bold and beautiful and the card needs nothing more than a sentiment to complete it.

In the summer I see so many butterflies in the garden flittering around from flower to flower. They are so gorgeous and intricate in their patterns and colours. A marvel of nature.

I love using punches as they make cardmaking so simple and easy. You don’t need loads of different tools. Punches are also easy to use for children and a card like this is perfect for a child to make.

I have a video tutorial and supply list below.

Butterflies and Birthday Wishes Card Tutorial

I have a sweet and simple birthday card featuring butterflies and the Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper (DSP).

Butterflies and Birthday wishes card using the Bird Ballard paper from Stampin' Up! — Butterflies and Birthday wishes card using the Bird Ballard paper from Stampin’ Up!

This card features two things I love, butterflies and flowers. I love walking through the garden and seeing the butterflies flitting about from flower to flower. They are so delicate and beautiful and yet so strong. Seeing a butterfly makes my heart sing and puts a smile on my face.

I like the simplicity and yet the bright vibrancy of this card. The background DSP is quite busy and I felt the sentiment got lost it so I popped it up on the band of daffodil delight card.

Measurements

Thick Whisper White A6 Card Base
Old Olive cardstock 14.35cm x 10cm
Daffodil Delight Cardstock – 9cm x 4.5cm
Bird Ballard DSP – 13.85cm x 9cm

As always there is a video of the process below along with the supply list.

While using the Bird Ballard DSP I have fallen more and more in love with it and I hope that these projects will make you fall in love too. Here is a link to another card made using this paper.

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!
