Snowy Wonder – An Easy Christmas Card Tutorial

Snowy Wonder – An Easy Christmas Card Tutorial – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

The minute I saw the Snowy Wonder stamp set in the new catalogue, I knew I wanted it. I love all these small images. They are versatile. I have so many ideas for future cards using this set. Today I’ve used the gorgeous little penguin. In my mind, the penguin is dancing with the candy cane. I was thinking of Fred Astaire but as a penguin.

Bunny “Singing in the Rain” Friendship Card

Bunny “Singing in the Rain” Friendship Card – Playing in the Rain – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I love this bunny singing in the rain. The story I told myself, was that he was the bunny version of Gene Kelly. So cute!! This card showcases several techniques including colouring with Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers, heat embossing and emboss resist.

The background stamp set is the Drizzling Droplets stamp. It is an online exclusive. When I first saw it I knew I wanted to use it with this bunny from Playing in the Rain. I love background stamps. Do you?

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 to Use the Spotlighting Technique – Magnolia Mood

How to Use the Spotlighting Technique – Magnolia Mood – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I only coloured in the focal image. This spotlights the image and makes it pop. The magnolia is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I combined Berry Burst and Bubble Bath to colour the petals and Granny Apple Green for the foliage.

I do love magnolias. They were a joy to see in the streets and gardens this Spring. They made me smile, and this card reminded me of that.

Make a Hedgehog Birthday Card – No Dimension

Make a Hedgehog Birthday Card – No Dimension – Happy Hedgehogs – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I have this happy hedgehog birthday card to share today. This card is flat with no dimension except for the pearls. As the cost of postage is going up, I’ve been looking at making some cards that will go through as a normal letter. Even the addition of the pearls can sometimes increase the postage as it is too thick for a normal letter. I wanted to show with this card that you can make still cute cards with a minimum or no dimension that will go through at the cheapest rate of postage.

Change it Up – How to Colour on Crumb Cake Cardstock

Change it Up – How to Colour on Crumb Cake Cardstock – Little Monkey – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’ve been watching videos on YouTube showing people colouring on kraft cardstock. I decided to give it a go myself. This card is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers on Crumb Cake cardstock. I love how it turned out.

There are some points I would like to mention. Firstly, the colours show up differently on Crumb cardstock to Basic White cardstock. The colours can look darker and “wetter”. Let them dry and they change quite a bit. The colours lighten and become more defined. If you are unsure do a test on some scrap cardstock.

Kiddin’ Around – How to Use Die Cuts to Make A Child’s Card

Kiddin’ Around – How to Use Die Cuts to Make A Child’s Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I told myself a little story when I designed this card. The child has been busy building his castle using his building blocks. He is now trying to cast a magic spell to make his toy castle into a real one.

All the elements bar the little “wizard” are created using the dies and cardstock. The “wizard” is stamped and die-cut. There is co-ordinating paper and the dies do cut out some of the images. In the example below I’ve used the image from the paper.

Colouring this Cute Beaver – Make a Birthday Card

Colouring this Cute Beaver – Make a Birthday Card – Fluffiest Friends – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I’m back with another project using the Fluffiest Friends stamp and die bundle. I just love all the cute little critters in this set. Which is your favourite?

This beaver is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I do love to colour, it’s so relaxing. I used both stamps and dies in this card. The die set comes with little leaves and branches to decorate the card. The beaver is so sweet sitting on his “nest” of leaves. You can ink the leaves well for extra interest.

Fluffiest Friends – Honey Bear – Easy Colouring

Fluffiest Friends – Honey Bear – Easy Colouring – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Isn’t this bear cute? He looks so happy, gorging himself on honey. I love how the honey is dripping out of the pot. I used a mixture of stamped and die-cut elements to make this card.

The main image is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love these as they are so easy to colour with. I generally start with my darker colour and then blend with the lighter one. Just be careful not to over-saturate your image. If I want to add more colour, I will let the image dry and then come back and work on it again.
