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 – 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.

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.

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.

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.

I love it when a stamp set matches a set of dies already in my stash. The Shop The Town stamp set fits the Let’s Go Shopping dies from the main annual catalogue. The stamp set can also be used with the Let’s Go Shopping stamp set. You can therefore build a variety of great Christmas scene cards.

As you know I love to colour. This card took a while to make but I found it so therapeutic to sit and colour. I’ve used the Stampin’ Up! Blends alcohol markers. They are so easy to blend and shade with.

  • Shaded Spruce / Real Red Cardstock – 20cm X 21cm scored at 10cm on the 20cm side.

I love the Les Shoppes suite of products from Stampin’ Up! They include the stamps and dies that I’ve used above as well as paper and sequins. You can do so much with these stamps and dies. I love stamps that allow you to build a scene. There are endless possibilities for customisation. You could have a street of shops, tables, benches, flowers and of course that lovely lamp post.

I think the shop window would make a lovely shaker card. You could have the door opening to reveal a hidden image or sentiment. The paper is gorgeous as well with lots of shop fronts if you don’t want to stamp and colour your own.

Isn’t this panda adorable? Just hanging out on this branch watching the world go by. I coloured the branches and leaves using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I think they are my favourite colouring medium. The details in this panda are just amazing. You could colour in the panda as well but I left it as I liked the shading the stamping gave it.

Instead of just having a plain green background I added extra interest with a background stamp. The background stamp used here is Sketched Plaid. The stamping is tone-on-tone just to give some subtle interest.

How to Make a Daisy Card Today – Cheerful Daisies – Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

As I am sure I’ve said many a time, daisies hold a special place in my heart. My granny had a yellow daisy bush in her garden and I’ve many pictures of it growing up. They are such happy flowers and of course, they are related to sunflowers.

I coloured these daisies using the Stampi’ Blend alcohol markers. I inked the background in Balmy Blue, which really makes the yellow / orange of the daisies pop.
