Make Dies Your Focus – Simple Card

Make Dies Your Focus – Simple Card – Focus Friday – Poppy Moments – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This is such an elegant card. I’ve used no colour only Basic Black, Basic Grey and Basic White. This post is a Focus Friday post. During the month of September, we have been focusing on dies every Friday. I’ve made dies the total focus of this card. The stamping is just for the simple sentiment.

These florals are actually the poppies from Poppy Moments. I’ve used these dies in many different ways and will link some of them below.

Using Your Background Stamps in a Different Way

Using Your Background Stamps in a Different Way – Knit Together – Go To Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo!

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. I wanted to play this week with the large background stamp, ” Knit Together”. I’ve only used it once before. It’s a great stamp set. I’ve stamped it twice and then cut it apart to make these strips.

How I made a Tonal Background – Timeless Tile

How I made a Tonal Background – Timeless Tile – Focus Friday – Thank You Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo! – Uk

I love how this card turned out. I used the Timeless Tile background stamp to give some tonal interest in the background. The background was too plain otherwise for my tastes. This is a Focus Friday card. This month we have been looking at using background and large stamps in our cardmaking.

One Way to Use the Rays of Light Background Set

One Way to Use the Rays of Light Background Set – Go To Greetings – Focus Friday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Welcome back to this Focus Friday post. We have been looking at Background / Large Stamps during July. I’ve used this background stamp, ” Rays of Light” to create a background / stamped background. The stamp creates your background with one stamp. I’ve not added much to it as it is so busy already. The sentiment is from Go to Greetings and is a great set with a variety of sentiments and fonts.

How to Use Ghost Stamping in Cardmaking

How to Use Ghost Stamping in Cardmaking – Stacked Stone – Daffodil DayDreams – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

Hello, I’m back with another Focus Friday project to share with you. The focus in July is on large / background stamps. I’ve used the Stacked Stone stamp here to stamp the background in different areas. I haven’t used a block to stamp with so the stamping is imperfect and merges into the background in place. This gives an organic and distressed feel to the card.

How to Paper Piece this Delivery Truck – Birthday

How to Paper Piece this Delivery Truck – Birthday Card Share – Best Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin Up Demo – Lincoln UK

I love the Best Delivery stamp set. Sadly this set is soon retiring. I will miss it. I’ve stamped the delivery truck on designer series paper (DSP) and fussy cut it out. I’ve then laid it over the stamped image on the cardstock. This is a lovely way to use up scraps and make something cute.

This of course is a Focus Friday post. In June we have been looking at different ways to use our DSP. Paper Piecing is now of my favourite techniques. Such fun and an easy way to add interest to a card.

Make the Best Use of Patterned Paper – Hexagons

Make the Best Use of Patterned Paper – Hexagons – Best Delivery – In colours – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo! – UK

This is a Focus Friday card. During the month of June, we are looking at different ways to use designer series paper. I used the Beautiful Shapes dies to create this card. I love having hexagons in various sizes. It’s a great way to use up scraps. I saw a scrapbook page that used hexagons as focal images and thought that I wanted to do the same with a card.
