How to Use the Snowball Accent Puff Paint – Santa Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I’ve used the Santa Delivery stamp set before and am in love with it. It’s just so cute. It really says Christmas to me. I’ve coloured it using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers as before. I do find it so relaxing, I can just lose myself in the colouring.

For a while, I’ve wanted to use the Snowball Accents Puff paint but it has just sat in my stash. I decided to use it at least. Here are my thoughts. It does puff up nicely. The puff is not solid but more squishy. It also is very light which is great for posting. You can see above I’ve used a small line of paint under the wheels of the train. Try to keep your line of paint quite thin as the thicker it is the longer it will take to puff up. Do make sure you get your heat tool, nice and hot before you bring it to the paint. It really needs to be hot to get the paint to puff up. If you get it hot before you bring it to the card there is less chance of your paper warping.

I love this stamp set. The photo doesn’t do this photo justice. When I saw this set in the catalogue I just had to have it. These little mice are just the cutest. I so enjoyed colouring them with the Stmapin’ Blend Alcohol markers. When I’m colouring I relax and totally lose track of time.

Currently, I’m trying to do more than one version of each card I make. Today is no exception. Above is very traditional and below is the Tahitian Tide / Orchid Oasis one. I think I prefer the traditional Real Red and Shaded Spruce but it is a close run contest.

I love this stamp set. Such cute dinky images. I’ve coloured this little girl with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love them. Really simply colouring. I used artistic licence with the colour of the bird as I wanted the contrast in colours. The paper is from Hugs of Happiness. It’s a rainbow design and you can see the other half of it below.

This fox looks a lot redder in the photo than he does in real life. I coloured him using a water painter and Cajun Craze ink pad. You can mix colours to colour the little fox in as well. The grass is Old Olive and the sky is Balmy Blue. I love playing with colours. It’s such fun.

I love how cute this card turned out. I’ve combined two stamp sets here, Biggest Wish and Elephant Parade. This baby elephant is so sweet with her pink balloon walking along the top of the sentiment. I thought about putting on more embellishments but really liked this clean and simple look.

I love how this card turned out. This is the first time I’ve made a slimline card like this. I have made some mini slimline cards but never a one this size. The card will fit perfectly into a standard DL size envelope here in the UK.

The Best Delivery stamp set is so cute. I have balloons coming out the back but you could equally have hearts coming out. So dinky. I coloured the image using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. One of my favourite colouring mediums. I was thinking of a Royal Mail van when I coloured in this image. The Real Red and white really do pop against each other.

measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardbase – 21cm X 20cm scored at 10cm on the 20cm side.
  • Basic White – 19cm X 8cm
  • Real Red – 19.5cm X 8.5cm

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?

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.

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.
