Abundant Beauty – How to Use the Layering Masks

Abundant Beauty – How to Use the Layering Masks – Wanted to Say Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love using layering stencils, they make a card so easily. Layering stencils also allow you to create extra depth and dimension. You can layer simple colours for even greater interest.

I normally use Basic White cardstock but I decided to change things up this time and use Crumb Cake. This is the first time I’ve done this and I am so happy with the effect. Do you stencil on coloured cardstock?

Sweet Songbirds Congratulations Card – Make it Now!

Sweet Songbirds Congratulations Card – Make it Now! – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I had a little story in my mind when I designed this card. The little green birdie was coming to tell Mr Red he’d passed his fledgling test and was now a fully qualified bird. Mr Red was congratulating him on passing with flying colours. Yes, I know the story was ridiculous but I just like the idea of these two birds twittering away together.

I love creating scene cards. All the stamps for this card come from just one set, Sweetsong Birds. I’ve added extra interest to the card with the basic borders die. It just sets off the gingham paper beautifully.

Make a Card with a Limited Colour Palette

Make a Card with a Limited Colour Palette – Beautiful Ballons – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

This card is colourful but I’ve only used a limited colour palette of primary colours. My first version uses Real Red, Crushed Curry and Azure Afternoon. I used the colours in the cardstock and the balloons. Repeating the colours gives the card a cohesive feel.

The second card is the same design but is of the pastel variety. The colours are Petal Pink, Balmy Blue and Lemon Lolly. Which version do you think is best? Let me know in the comments below.

New Circle Punch – Yeah!!!

New Circle Punch – Yeah!!! – Circle Sayings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

We have a new circle punch. I’m so happy. If you know me, you’ll know that I love my punches. I hardly ever sell my retired punches and have quite the collection now. They are quick to use, don’t need any other equipment to use, and are easy to transport. Our new circle punch size is 2 3/8″. So useful for matting and layering. It works well with the circles in the Stylish Shapes dies.

Make an Interactive Card with Stars

Make an Interactive Card with Stars – Give it a Whirl – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I love interactive cards. They are so much fun to make and receive. I wanted to make a card that featured die cuts in the active element rather than stamping. I’ve had this die for a while and only used it once before. It was time it got to star centre stage again.

This card has a little wheel that whirls around showing you different images as you go around. Here I’ve used different coloured stars but you could equally stamp three little messages.

Amazing Day-Simple Panel Card-Easy Make

Amazing Day-Simple Panel Card-Easy Make – Colouring – Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

This is one of my go to style of cards. It’s a great way to stretch your designer series paper (DSP). I’ve used half a sheet of 6″ X 6″ paper. Sometimes I place the paper in the middle of the card and sometimes more to one side or the other.

The focal image is from Amazing Year. Such a beautiful simple bunch of flowers. They are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Below is another way. Which do you prefer?

You Did It! Cute Card – Girl & Birdie

You Did It! Cute Card – Girl & Birdie – By My Side – Colouring – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

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.

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.

Quick and Easy Card with a Hidden Tag – Floral Gallery Dies – Tailored Tags Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

This was a project we made in a recent card club. I host a monthly card line online in my Facebook Group. We gather together virtually once a month to have lots of crafty fun.

This card has a cute pocket on the front of the card to hold a tag or gift card. It’s therefore practical and decoration all in one. The cardbase and designer series paper (DSP) are both freebies I got from the current Sale-a-bration. You can get them free with every purchase over £45.00. Click here to see the current catalogues.
