I love the simplicity of this Christmas Card. The main star of the card is the Falling Snow background stamp. I’ve white heat embossed it on Azure Afternoon cardstock and then ink blended in the same colour over the top. The white heat-embossed areas resist the ink and stay bright white. Such a gorgeous effect.

  • Azure Afternoon Cardstock – 1/4 sheet of A4 cardstock.

This card features a number of techniques including ink blending, use of embossing paste and colouring with layering stencils. I’ve limited the colour palette to green and blue. This keeps the card calm. The Frosted Forest stencils, stamps and die are easy to use and make beautiful cards. Do have a go.

Many times we forget that we can clear heat emboss with any of the 50 colours of Stampin’ Up! ink. You don’t need to have tons of different powders, just one will do the trick. The stamp set is More Wishes, a firm favourite of mine. I’ve used Cherry Cobbler ink above and Misty Moonlight below. Which looks best to you?

I loved this stamp set the minute I saw it in the catalogue. The coordinating Lilly Pond Lane designer series paper (DSP) makes this scene easy to create. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies as a window into my scene. The story I told myself when making this card was the one duck wishing the other a happy birthday.

The sentiment is white heat embossed on the DSP. You can see it but it doesn’t detract from the ducks.

I am great fan of big, bold sentiments. When I saw this one in the catalogue, I just knew I had to have it. Initially, I was going to do something completely different with this card. After watching a fellow demo use the Full of Life designer series paper (DSP) I knew I wanted to use it with this sentiment and this card was born.

The sentiment is white heat embossed. You can use a white pigment ink but you won’t get as strong a white as you do with heat embossing. I love how the white pops against the rainbow DSP. We tend to forget that we can emobss on patterned paper just as well as on cardstock. The results are amazing, Go ahead and try it yourself.

Firework-Inspired Birthday Card. Easy Two Step Stamping

Firework-Inspired Birthday Card. Easy Two Step Stamping – Round We Go – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I am not sure what these shapes are meant to be. In the colours above they reminded me of fireworks. What do you think? Each shape is made with just one stamp. I stamped in the darker colour eg Daffodil Delight and then offset the stamp and stamped again in the lighter colour eg Lemon Lolly. I love the effect.

The above version uses Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly. The one below uses Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Pretty in Pink and Flirty Flamingo. Which one do you like best?

This card was made using the emboss resist technique. I heat-embossed a piece of white cardstock with clear embossing powder. Then, a layer of ink was applied over the top using blending brushes. The embossed areas will resist the ink leaving this lovely effect.

I have made this card in two different colour ways. The above is Coastal Cabana, Pool Pary and Lost Lagoon, below is Berry Burst and Bubble Bath. Which version do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

How to Use Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads for Heat Embossing – Phrases for All – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

Quite often, I find people forget that they can use the Stampin’ Up! ink pads for heat embossing. The pads are juicy and therefore, stay wet long enough for embossing. You do have to work quickly but it is easy to do. The colour I’ve used here is Pretty Peacock with the Phrases for All stamp set. You can’t see the embossing in the photo above but it is clear in the video below.

I love the Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP). The artwork is gorgeous. I’ve layered this beautiful print on top of two other designs that are less busy. As all the papers are from the same collection the colours match. I’ve added some foliage using the Bough punch for added interest. I used white cardstock as I didn’t want to introduce another colour.

The Meandering Meadow designer series paper (DSP) has a strong impressionistic vibe. The paper is full of bright colours, brushstrokes and lovely floral scenes. If you love impressionism then this is the paper for you.

This paper doesn’t need much doing to it. The paper is gorgeous. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies to cut a perfect “photo”. I added a white heat embossed sentiment and the card is completed. You could make a set of these as a gift.
