Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of May we are looking at using designer series paper (DSP) in different ways. Today I am using the gorgeous Hugs of Happiness DSP to make lots of die cuts to use on my card. They are the focal image for this floral birthday card.

The Hugs of Happiness DSP is simply gorgeous. I absolutely love it!! I’m already planning to my a second pack. Paper-like this is so useful. You can fussy cut these florals if you want but the dies that match the stamp set also cut out the flowers in this DSP. Super useful!! It really stretches this paper and gives you a ton of die cuts.

I was so glad this stamp set didn’t retire this year. I love all the big bold sentiments. They are my cup of tea. This is a very simple card but I’ve added interest with the doily. These are the Heart & Home doilies. They actually come in blue, green & brown. I wanted white though so I used the backside instead!!

I’m back with another Friday Focus post. In May we have been looking at using colour in our cards. Today I am using all the colours in the rainbow here. I love making rainbow cards. They are vibrant, bold and such fun. These cute little dragonflies really pop.

I couldn’t resist doodling a little with a white gel pen to add highlights to the dragonflies. The rhinestones are the perfect finishing touch.

My First Time – Making a Slimline Card – UK Sizing – Best Delivery – Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

I love how this card turned out. This is the first time I’ve made a slimline card like this. I have made some mini slimline cards but never a one this size. The card will fit perfectly into a standard DL size envelope here in the UK.

The Best Delivery stamp set is so cute. I have balloons coming out the back but you could equally have hearts coming out. So dinky. I coloured the image using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. One of my favourite colouring mediums. I was thinking of a Royal Mail van when I coloured in this image. The Real Red and white really do pop against each other.

measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardbase – 21cm X 20cm scored at 10cm on the 20cm side.
  • Basic White – 19cm X 8cm

I love this cute little woodland scene. It’s coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love colouring as you know, so on when the audiobook and off I went. I’m listening to the third book in the Brighton Mysteries series by Elly Griffiths. Really enjoy them. What do you listen to while you craft?

This card uses the new in-colours. I’ve used this hello stamp from the Biggest Wish stamp set to stamp repeatedly the sentiment in the new in-colours. It is so effective and makes a great bold, focal feature. Simple to make and easy to repeat.

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. During the month of May, I am looking at colour in my Friday Focus creations. Today my focus is on primary colours. The primary colours on the colour wheel are red (Real Red), yellow (Daffodil Delight) and blue (Pacific Point). These are the colours of my ladybirds which are my focal image.

These colours will mix with each other and sit well together as they are the primary colours. The colours I’ve chosen are vibrant and bright and really make this card pop.

How To Make a Card with Multiple Shaker Pockets – Sweet Strawberry – Focus Friday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin Up! Demo – UK

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. For the month of April, we have been looking at all things shaker cards. Today the focus has been on multiple shaker pockets on one card.

I used the layering circle dies to create these three windows. You could of course do any shape you wanted but I stuck to circles here. One tip is to remove the backing on the foam strips before you apply them as they are much easier to manipulate then. Also, mark where your windows will fall on the background before you apply any adhesive. It will make your life so much easier. I didn’t and yes I still managed, but learn from my mistakes.
