Cupcakes? How to Make This Yummy Birthday Card Today – Pocket Thoughts – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Don’t these cupcakes look delicious? They are from the Pocket Thoughts stamp set and are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I created the background with various techniques using the colours Coastal Cabana and Pool Party. These colours make the cupcakes really pop from the background. Check out the video below for the full tutorial.

Botanical Beauty – How to do the Emboss Resist Technique

Botanical Beauty – How to do the Emboss Resist Technique – Biggest Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This card was made using the emboss resist technique. I heat-embossed a piece of white cardstock with clear embossing powder. Then, a layer of ink was applied over the top using blending brushes. The embossed areas will resist the ink leaving this lovely effect.

I have made this card in two different colour ways. The above is Coastal Cabana, Pool Pary and Lost Lagoon, below is Berry Burst and Bubble Bath. Which version do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

How to Make a Daisy Card Today

How to Make a Daisy Card Today – Cheerful Daisies – Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

As I am sure I’ve said many a time, daisies hold a special place in my heart. My granny had a yellow daisy bush in her garden and I’ve many pictures of it growing up. They are such happy flowers and of course, they are related to sunflowers.

I coloured these daisies using the Stampi’ Blend alcohol markers. I inked the background in Balmy Blue, which really makes the yellow / orange of the daisies pop.

What a Wonderful World!!

What a Wonderful World!! – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I was so happy with how this card turned out. The Wonderful World Designer Series Paper (DSP) was quite busy but it actually works well with this panel on the front. The stamp set and paper are a freebie bundle available during Sale-a-bration this year. The stamp set matches the florals in the paper. I love how Stampin’ Up! matches colours and images. It makes cardmaking so easy.

Blending Brushes – How to get a Lovely Blend

Blending Brushes – How to get a Lovely Blend – Corner Bouquet Stamp Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I was so excited when I saw blending brushes in the new catalogue. They work a treat to blend inks. As you may know I love playing with colours and inks. I’ve always struggled to get a good blend with a sponge but with these blending brushes it was as easy as pie.

You don’t need a separate brush for each colour. I have one for each colour family, for example, one for blues, one for yellows / oranges etc…. I just store them in a cute penguin mug on my desk. Brilliant!!
