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.

How to Make this Christmas Tree Heat Embossed Card – Merriest Trees – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I do love the Merriest Tree Stamp and Die Bundle. It has so many possibilities. There are a few sizes of Christmas Trees and here I’ve used the largest one. The sentiment is made to fit in the tree die cut. Isn’t that clever? I’ve white heat embossed to make it really pop against the green.

Heat embossing has always seemed like magic to me. This card is full of it. I’ve heat-embossed the background, sentiments and even the little tree decorations. Yes, I had a heat embossing feast.

I do love stencils. They are amazing. There is so much you can do with them. I get every stencil Stampin’ Up! release. They are perfect for easy backgrounds and focal images alike.

The stencil I’ve used today is part of the Abundant Beauty pack. It creates a simple autumnal background. You can use just one ink colour or multiple colours as I’ve done today. I took my blending brushes and ink pads and had lots of fun.

This is another card we made in May Card club. This is an online card that happens in my Facebook Group. You can find out all the details here. The colours I’ve used for the daisies are Basic White and the new colour Lemon Lolly. I think it really pops well against the dark designer series paper. The sentiment is from Timeless Arrangements. I’ve heat-embossed it in white so it pops. This card has been made in two colour ways. Which do you prefer?

No Lines Watercolouring – Easy Trick

No Lines Watercolouring – Easy Trick – Daffodil Day Dream – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I do like the look of watercolouring with no harsh lines from stamping. It gives the whole image a softer appearance. There are a number of ways to achieve this look. Today I show you a simple trick using clear heat embossing.

I stamped the image using versamark ink and heat embossed using clear powder. Now when you watercolour you won’t see the lines and the watercolour will resist the heat embossing allowing you to colour with no lines. One final tip is to use Shimmery White or watercolour cardstock as it will stand up to the water much better than Basic White cardstock.

I love how bright and white the heat-embossed snowflake looks against the red of the designer series paper. It acts as a perfect background for this cute little penguin. Do you love penguins? I have a friend who is mad about them. I was thinking of her when I made this card.

The Penguin Place stamp set has a matching punch for the penguin. I fussy cut out his hat and scarf. It is very simple fussy cutting but still, I was impressed with the outcome. I used the gold glimmer paper to give somewhere for my penguin to stand so he was floating. It adds that essential Christmas sparkle to the card.

I love the die I’ve used to cut out the frame for this card. It would also make a perfect shaker pocket don’t you think? The snowman is sitting on a snowbank cut from Very Vanilla glimmer paper. The camera doesn’t pick up the lovely glittery effect at all, but trust me it is there.

The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder to match the snowy vibe of the card.
