I love how this card turned out. It screams summer to me. The cheeky expression on the bee is cute. The Bee Mine stamp set has a variety of different expressions you can use on the face of the bee or any critter for that matter. The stamp set pairs beautifully with the Full of Live designer series paper (DSP). I’ve used both sides of the sheet in this card so there is no waste.

I love rainbow cards. Do you? They are bright, happy and fun. What is not to love? I made this rainbow by ink blending. The white butterflies from the Sketched Butterflies set pop against this colourful background.

My rainbow colours are Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue and Gorgeous Grape. I found they blended easily into each other. What colours would you use?

I first made one of these teabag holders when I joined Stampin’ Up! That was over 12 years ago. Can you believe it? Time flies. These are easy to make from one sheet of 6″ X 6″ of paper or cardstock. I’ve chosen some nice herbal teas to do in them. I think these holders would be great as a little gift or as part of a hamper to give to someone special.

How to do it! The Blackout but not the Blackout Technique

How to do it! The Blackout but not the Blackout Technique – Layered Florals – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

The blackout technique seems to be taking the crafting world by storm. I love the effect but struggle with so much black on a card. I like bright, light and vibrant cards. Therefore I decided to do the technique but not use a black ink pad.

To make this card I dry embossed using the Layered Florals embossing folder. I then used Petunia Pop to create the same effect as a black ink pad. I tried the same technique using a Blueberry Bushel ink pad. What do you think of the results?

I have these lovely floral cards to share today. Both of these use Layers of Beauty stencils without the stamp set. This bundle is so versatile and all the results are amazing.

The version above uses Poppy Parade, Real Red and Cherry Cobbler. I have a lovely red rose outside my front door, which inspired this card. My neighbours have a yellow rose and this inspired the card below. Which one do you prefer? Let me know in the comments.

As some of you know I design my cards weeks ahead of them going “live” on my blog. I was watching the Chelsea Flower Show and as you may know, my maternal family is from South Africa. The South African stand got a Gold Medal and Best Stand in the Great Pavilion. This was the inspiration behind this card.
