I love all the new blues that have been introduced to our colour families. They are so pretty. I decided to compare some of them here in this card. I’ve repeatedly stamped the same sentiment in different colours. It really works well.

The stamp set is a firm favourite of mine, Biggest Wish. I’m so happy that is carried over from last year’s catalogue to this one. I would be lost without it.

Stencil Technique – How to Colour With Them

The Loveliest layers masks include a set of stencils that allow you to colour a flower image and leaves. The masks make it very easy to add shading and detail.

I felt there was too much white space on the image so I used a very light colour blended over the whole panel, both white space and image. I used a text stamp to add extra detail in the background. This has been made in two different colours, pink and yellow. Which do you like best?

I love stencils and have an extensive collection. Do I use them enough? Of course not, like most crafters I have stuff I love to have but don’t use. I realised the other day that I haven’t used these stencils and they have been in my stash for nearly a year. I don’t want them to retire and I never used them.

The stencil I used today has these little stripes that repeat. It is perfect for this technique of off-setting the stencil. I’ve used a mixture of colours that I have blended together.

Another Way to Use an Embossing Folder

This is a fun way to use your embossing folders as well as a great way to use up scraps. I stuck down the little squares of the designer series paper (DSP) first. The whole panel was then run through my die-cutting machine with the Gingham embossing folder.

This technique makes the DSP look as if it is embedded in the background. Such fun and has a very different look.

This card is bright, colourful, fun had happy. I love it. I’ve used the matt black dots for the spots on the ladybird and it really makes such a difference. It gives the card added texture and interest.

I made this card in two different colour versions. The one above is Sweet Sorbet and Pacific Point. The one below is Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo. Which do you like best?

This is a very technique to accomplish and provides a lovely graduation of colour on your image. I’ve used here one of my favourite sentiment stamp sets, Biggest Wish. I’ve used this set over and over again.

This card is been made in two colour ways. The teal one is Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana and the pink one is Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. Which do you like better? For both cards, I stamped the lighter ink first and then sponged on the darker one. The stamparatus makes this very easy to do.

  • Melon Mambo Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm

How Do I Heat Emboss? Simple Tips Tutorial

How Do I Heat Emboss? Simple Tips Tutorial – Focus Friday – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

During the month of October Focus Friday is going to be looking at Heat Embossing. In this post, we are learning the basics of heat embossing. Heat embossing is a very easy technique that always gives a wow effect to your card. It really feels like magic watching the dull powder, turn glossy and shiny.

There are a number of tips I want to give you. Remember practice makes perfect. You will need to use a “sticky” ink like Versamark to heat emboss. You need very little powder to achieve a great effect. I always use an embossing buddy on my paper before I start to get rid of any static. This means the embossing powder will only stick where there is ink. Lastly, let your heat tool heat up for 30 seconds away from your card. This means it will be hot already and the powder will take less time to melt. This reduces the chance of any powder blowing away.

How to Use the Amazing Phrases Stamp Set – Create a Border – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Amazing Phrases is one of the free sets I got during Sale-a-bration. It has lots of sayings but I focused on the two words, amazing and hey. I stamped them around the edge of my paper to create this fun border for my focal sentiment. The card is very tonal but you could have equally stamped in versamark and heat embossed in the colour of your choice.
