I love stamping my own patterned paper. You can choose your own colours and designs to make a bespoke piece of paper that is unique to you. It is such fun and I should really do it more often.

I’ve used the In Bloom stamp set which with its matching dies, Pierced Blooms are a current staple in my craft room. The colours are my favourite teals of Pool Party, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay.

measurements

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

Milk Carton Style Gift Box – How to Make it! – Harvest Meadow DSP – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love making little gift boxes and bags. I’ve made this style before but I just love how cute it looks. The binder clip closure is just something different. It also uses up my huge stash of clips. I love stationery and have a collection of different paper clips, binder clips and lots more. Sad but true.

The paper is the Harvest Meadow designer series paper (DSP) and I love these bright and joyful colours. This gift box uses Bumble Bee and Misty Moonlight. These are both primary colours and work well together.

measurements

  • Bumble Bee – 7 1/2″ X 6″ scored on:
    • 7 1/2″ side at 1/2″, 2 1/2″. 4″, 6″
    • 6″ side at 1 1/2″, 4 1/2″, 5 1/2″

Gutting Paper – Dies – Easy Birthday Card – Tutorial – Sunny Sentiments – You’re a Peach – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a very simple card you can make quickly when you need a card. The designer series paper (DSP) is You’re a Peach. I gutted the first layer to make the matt for my circle. This gaping hole in the paper is of course covered by the second layer. Clever!!

Peach season is long since gone but we can still use the pretty paper and relive the memories of summer. I love this paper and will continue to use it throughout the year. It is so bright and beautiful.

  • Calypso Coral A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • You’re a Peach DSP – 14.35cm X 10cm
  • You’re a Peach DSP – 13.85cm X 9.5cm

Using Harvest Meadow DSP to Make a Box Bag – Dressed to Impress – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a bag but it has a rectangular base like a box. As the patterned paper is wrapped around the base there are no corners but rather these lovely curves instead. I’ve made this bag before earlier this year and wanted to try it again for Autumn with this Harvest Meadow designer series paper (DSP).

measurements

  • Bumble Bee Cardstock – 5″ X 4″ scored at 1″ on all sides
  • Harvest Meadow DSP – 4″ X 10 1/2″
  • Misty Moonlight Cardstock 10″ X 1″ scored at 1/2″ on the short side X 2 pieces

How to use Counting Sheep in a Fun Way

How to use Counting Sheep in a Fun Way – Stamp Set – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

So, I will be honest. When I saw this stamp set and matching dies in the Sale-a-bration catalogue I wasn’t sold on the idea. I was lucky enough to have a pre-order big enough that I’d earned a few free items.  I decided to get them and gave them a whirl. This is what I came up with. It’s cute!!

I inked the background using a blending brush. The moon was masked using masking paper though you could also use a post-it note to do the job as well. I love the contrast between the moon, the sheep and the dark sky. So I think you will agree the sheep stamp set and matching dies were a good choice. Show me what you are making with this set.

Nuts About Squirrels? Wishing you Happy Birthday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Did you feed the squirrels when you were a child? I did. Initially, I’m told I was scared but then I overcame my fear and did it. I haven’t forgotten their soft little mouths on hand as they snaffled a treat. Sometimes there was a couple and you had to have each hand out so they didn’t fight for their treat. I still love watching them burying their nuts and flying through the trees. Here is cute pair that wishing you a Happy Birthday.

This image is all one die cut. Can you believe it? It’s so pretty. You could either used an adhesive sheet on the cardstock before you die cut or just good old tombow. It die-cuts beautifully and looks so striking. The background DSP is Peaceful Prints. The sentiment is matted on the sparkly Be Dazzling Paper. Both of these papers were free during Sale-a-bration.

Making a Card with a Hidden Tag / Gift Card – Peaceful Prints DSP / Beautifully Penned DSP – In Bloom – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a reworking of a card we made recently in card club. I love this hidden pocket feature that can hold a tag or a gift card. It is so much fun and you still have all the space inside the card to write a special message. The Peaceful Prints designer series paper (DSP) is a Christmas collection. This green print though can be used any time of the year. It’s just a simple muted design. So great!!

Make a Big / Bold Birthday Gift Bag With Me – Peaceful Prints DSP – Biggest Wish – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I absolutely love this bag. It is so pretty. The gorgeous sentiment is from the Biggest Wish set and is a firm favourite of mine as it makes a project on its own. The paper is actually the Peaceful Prints DSP which is a Christmas collection but as shown here not all prints have to be Christmas. I matted everything on Basic White and it really makes the whole project pop. I love using white as it makes dark colours pop and conversely black makes light colours pop too.

  • Real Red Cardstock – 11 1/2″ X 8″ score on
    • long side at 1 1/2″, 5 1/2″, 7″, 11″
    • Short side at 1 1/2″ from either side
  • Peaceful Prints DSP:
    • 3 1/2″ X 1″ X 1 piece

Yes, the Party Puffins are showing us their dance moves again. They are boogying for all they are worth here in this cute bookmark. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the ease of ebooks but nothing can replace a proper book. I will use my kindle when I go away and don’t want to carry a zillion books in my suitcase but at home, I prefer proper books. They are so much easy to cross-reference from book to book or page to page.
