How to Make an Easy Circular Card That Stands Up

How to Make an Easy Circular Card That Stands Up – Fluffiest Friends – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I made this card using the Deckled Circle dies. This card does stand up. Watch the video below to see it in action. This cute kitty is from the Fluffiest Friends stamp set. I coloured him using the Stampin’ Write Markers and a blender pen. It is not a method of colouring I use often and I wanted to revisit this technique. It can become easy to get stuck in a rut and just colour using Stampin’ Blend Alcohol markers all the time.

Remember!!

Check your circle die will fit in the envelope you want to use before you start. I scored at 1cm hinge on one of the circle pieces. I used Thick Basic White Cardstock to make my card sturdy.

Thank you for visiting me. I hope you enjoyed this project and it inspired you. The supply list linked to my online shop and video tutorial are below. You can find my Basic Craft Products that I regularly use here.

Easy Hot Air Balloon Birthday Card- Make it Today- Craft with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’m so glad so much of the Lighter Than Air suite has carried over into the main catalogue. The stamps, dies and embellishments carried over, it’s great! This is a simple design with lots of layering elements.

The hot air balloon is a two-step stamping set. We made this card at a recent club and everyone had fun choosing their colours for the balloon. I made this card in a different colour way below. Which do you prefer?

How to Use the Spotlighting Technique – Magnolia Mood

How to Use the Spotlighting Technique – Magnolia Mood – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I only coloured in the focal image. This spotlights the image and makes it pop. The magnolia is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I combined Berry Burst and Bubble Bath to colour the petals and Granny Apple Green for the foliage.

I do love magnolias. They were a joy to see in the streets and gardens this Spring. They made me smile, and this card reminded me of that.

Fast & Simple Birthday Card Idea For You

Fast & Simple Birthday Card Idea For You – Celebrate with Tags – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love all the tones of purple on this card. Aren’t they gorgeous? This is a simple design. It has the “WOW” factor with minimal effort. I don’t have much of the Perennial Lavender paper left. I needed to find a way to stretch my supplies. It is paired here with some Fresh Freesia cardstock. The small strip of glimmer paper brings the whole design together.

If you are wondering about that butterfly, it’s a pre-made die-cut from the Paper Butterfly Accents set. It’s so pretty, don’t you agree?

How to Make a Birthday Double Z Fold Card

How to Make a Birthday Double Z Fold Card – Bold Bouquet – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln – UK

I love the bright, spring feel of this card. It features Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, these colours are retiring at the end of April. I will miss them. This week on my blog I am featuring all the retiring in-colours as a final goodbye.

This double z-fold card is easy to make. I’ve adjusted the measurements slightly so it is slightly smaller than a standard A6 card. This makes the scoring easier. The card below features the third retiring colour, Orchid Oasis.

How to Make A Rectangle Fold Flat Box

How to Make A Rectangle Fold Flat Box – Bold Bouquet – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love bags and boxes that fold flat for easy storage. This is a rectangular box of quite a good size. It took me a while to figure out the measurements to make it from one sheet of A4 cardstock. I’m pleased with the way it turned out. We made this in April Craft & Chat and it was a hit.

Make a Hedgehog Birthday Card – No Dimension

Make a Hedgehog Birthday Card – No Dimension – Happy Hedgehogs – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I have this happy hedgehog birthday card to share today. This card is flat with no dimension except for the pearls. As the cost of postage is going up, I’ve been looking at making some cards that will go through as a normal letter. Even the addition of the pearls can sometimes increase the postage as it is too thick for a normal letter. I wanted to show with this card that you can make still cute cards with a minimum or no dimension that will go through at the cheapest rate of postage.

How to Create a Hot Air Balloon Spinner Card

How to Create a Hot Air Balloon Spinner Card – Hot Air Balloon – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Spinner cards are such fun. You do need to watch the video to get the full effect. You can find the link below. This card features the Hot Air Balloon bundle. It is a two-step stamp which allows me to mimic the stripey paper in the design of the hot air balloon.

There are two sizes of balloons included in this set. I’ve used the smaller one here. You can also die-cut your balloons instead of stamping them first.

Monochrome Magic: A Panda-Themed Hand-Stamped Card

Monochrome Magic: A Panda-Themed Hand-Stamped Card – Wild & Sweet. Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I have this simple card to share with you today. The whole image is just one stamp. It’s stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black. My idea was for the finished card to look like a pencil sketch, hence no colouring.

The black and white theme makes a striking card. The image pops from the background. I used the Deckled Rectangle dies which have a torn edge effect. This works with the pencil sketch theme of the card.
