I love how this card turned out. These little owls are so cute. They are from the Adorable Owls stamp set, a freebie during Sale-a-bration. They were made for colouring. I had a relaxing time colouring using my Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Recently I’ve changed my colouring method. I tend to go from light to dark in each colour instead of the other way around as I did before.

I love wisteria. We have one that curves above the living room window. It looks beautiful every Spring. There is another one in a local village that covers the whole wall of a shop. This inspired me to make this card.

I’ve kept the colour palette quite simple here, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Old Olive. It makes me long for Spring and beautiful fresh flowers.

I love how clean and bright this card looks. It is also a great way to use up scraps. The background is embossed using the new raindrop embossing folders. It just adds a little interest in the background where there are no other elements.

I’ve used the smallest hex die from the Beautiful Shapes dies set. You could use different sizes for extra interest or layer them up as well. The paper is the gorgeous new designer series paper (DSP) Regency Park. It has a lovely spring feel to it.

As you may know, I love colouring. This stamp set, In The Country, is a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration (SAB). Sale-a-bration is one of the best times of the Stampin’ Up! year, for every qualifying purchase you get to choose a freebie from the SAB catalogue. This was one of my freebies.

This stamp set just screams watercolouring to me. I had a lot of fun colouring these images using my watercolour pencils. I find it so relaxing.

How to Construct a Fold Flat Bag

How to Construct a Fold Flat Bag – Dandy Designs – Flowers of Friendship – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This little bag folds flat for easy storage. We made this in a recent card club and I wanted to share it with you as well. I used the Dandy Designs designer series paper (DSP) that I got free during sale-a-bration. I love the bright and vibrant colours in this paper pack. You get 48 sheets in a pack so you won’t run out anytime soon.

How to Make a Twisted Easel Card – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This is a very simple card to make. The paper is the gorgeous Favored Flowers designer series paper (DSP). This is a freebie from Sale-a-bration. It is full of gorgeous florals that you can either use as a full sheet or fussy cut out to create lots of die cuts.

I’ve kept the design very simple so that the DSP is the focal point of the card. I tried adding various extra embellishments but they didn’t seem to add anything to the design so I left it clean and simple.

I love geraniums, my mother always has them in her garden. My favourite are the bright colours of red and pink. When I saw the Potted Geraniums set in the catalogue I wanted it and then of course never used it. I’ve changed this now.

I love the combination of red and blue together. Do you like them as a combo? This stamp set is a two step stamping set. You can stamp just the outline and colour the set it or use the second stamp.

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.

I love making cute little gifts like this. They don’t take long to make and don’t cost a lot but can brighten up a bad day for a special friend. It’s been ages since I made this style of box and I had to sit and work out the measurements for a while to get it right. It holds 4 delicious-smelling tea lights.

I don’t know about you but I have a ton of tea lights. They smell lovely and there is something special about watching the little flame. It reminds me of log fires and warm cosy fireplaces.
