Follow your Art Archives – Crafting with Ashee

It Starts with Art – Friendship Card

It Starts with Art is one of my favourite stamp sets. The sentiments are super cute and the whole suite is superb for crafters everywhere.

I think this stamp set is also great for scrapbooking. You can make your own embellishments with the stamped images and matching dies. The dies also have extra pieces to make buttons, paper clips and such like.

Normally, I wouldn’t put Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana together but they actually work quite well. The images are all coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. There is no Coastal Cabana in the Stampin’ Blends so I used Pool Party and Bermuda Bay instead. They work well together.

I love the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper (DSP). I have quite a bit of this paper still and I want to use it up. What do you suggest I make with it? I was thinking of another mini album to hold tags?#

As always there is a video tutorial and supply list below. Thank you for visiting and until next time Enjoy Being Creative!!

Scraps – Using Your Scraps – Follow Your Art

I have a card to share with you today made with scraps. The designer series paper (DSP) is so beautiful, it would be a shame to waste any of it. The Follow Your Art DSP is made for crafters as it features lots of crafty items such as ribbon and glue guns.

I feel it is very important to use your scraps before they build up into a huge pile that is daunting to use. DSP is not cheap and I don’t want to waste a piece if I can help it.

I’ve used strips of the Follow Your Art DSP that I cut to size as needed. I only used adhesive in the middle of each strip so that I could tuck and layer as suited me.

This card is part of my drive to use what I have rather than buy new stuff and never use it. I am determined that by the time the Annual Catalogue retires I will have used everything I bought from it. Most years I find that I have a ton of DSP that is retired but not this year. I am using it and enjoying it too.

Bespoke Notebook – Follow your Art

I made this cute little bespoke notebook using the gorgeous paper from the Follow your Art suite of products from Stampin’ Up! The actual notebooks is a pound shop find but I’ve made it something special using pretty papers. The notebook is the perfect size for you to carry around for the hundred and one things we have to try and remember.

I love making little altered items such as this bespoke notebook. I think it’s a great way to personalise something cheap and make it something special.

Follow your Art Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 4 1/8 x 5 3/4 inches

This is a simple and easy project to make and Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful coordinating products make it super easy to put together. The stamp set is an old one called Crafting Forever. I simply love the sentiment that reads “Crafting Forever, Housework Whenever”. This is so true for most of us. Personally, I know that I much prefer to be in my craft room than doing the washing up.

The DSP is covered in hot glue guns and little bottles of glitter, although equally they could be bottles of glue and a drill. This is what makes this paper so great as there is something for everyone.

Do you like to alter items? What bespoke items have you made? Leave me a comment and let me know.

I’ve done a video as always which is below along with the supply list.

Tool Box for “Take your Pick Tool”

Took Box I made using the Follow your Art suite from Stampin’ Up! This cute box holds the versatile Take your Pick tool. I love this tool as it is an easy pickup tool, stylus, pokey tool and now you can also get a die brush attachment. What more could you want from a crafting tool? I, therefore, had to make it a pretty box to live in.

I adore this box, it uses one of my favourite colours, Bermuda Bay and the fun Follow your Art designer series paper (DSP). It boasts a magnetic closure so you don’t have to worry about it opening and spilling the contents everywhere.

The box is made separately from the wrap around closure, therefore, making it a very simple and easy make. Previously, I was storing the Take your Pick tool in the original box it came and it such a nuisance to get it out and try and make it fit back in that I never used it. This box is so pretty and just sits on my desk, consequently, I’m using the tool much more instead of the 3 other tools I was using.

As always, I have made a video showing you exactly how to make this box. The supply list is below the link to the video.

That is all for now, until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!
