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.

How to Ink Blend Two Colours Together

How to Ink Blend Two Colours Together – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

I like blending inks. You can make your own custom backgrounds so easily. I blended Lost Lagoon and Coastal Cabana here. I started off with the lighter colour and then blended in the darker colour, going back and forward between the two to achieve a blend.

The card below is a different colour way. The colours are Flirty Flamingo and Calypso Coral. Which do you like best?

Lazy Days – Make a Thank You Card

Lazy Days – Make a Thank You Card – Timeless Arrangements – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

The Lazy Days stamp set screams long hot summer days to me. It was, for this reason, I was in two minds about buying it but then I thought some more. You can use this set in many different ways. It could even be used for a Christmas card with the rocking chair next to a tree and a pile of presents. Once I could see the versatility of the set it as in my basket.

My favourite image in this set is the rocking chair. My Granny used to have two rocking chairs in the lounge and now I have them. As a child, I used to love rocking in the chair and so rocking chairs hold a special place in my heart.

How to Mask an Area of a Card – Ink Blending

How to Mask an Area of a Card – Ink Blending – Merriest Moments – Christmas Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

The photo doesn’t do this card justice. It is difficult to photograph the variations and depth the ink blending gives this card.

In this Focus Friday project, I’m looking at using masking paper to create an image on the card. Here I’ve used it to make this perfect white circle surrounded by the inked background. I’ve used the layering circle dies to cut the circle out of masking paper. You can re-use this mask so keep the backing paper safe.

This is such a fun and easy technique. In this Friday Focus post, we are looking at the emboss resist technique. You can do this in many ways and in the video below we will look at just one way.

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.

How to Emboss on a Blended Ink Background

How to Emboss on a Blended Ink Background – Focus Friday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to another Focus Friday Project. Every month I chose a certain product or group of tecninques and each Friday for that month we focus on one specific technique. This month it has been embossing folders. Today we are looking at embossing onto an inked background.

I used a blending brush to ink the background first with Petal Pink and then Magenta Madness. I tried to get a varied mix of colours. The background was then embossed with the new Hive 3D embossing folder. The ink blending really highlights all the gorgeous texture from the embossing folder.

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.

How to Make a Rainbow using Soft Pastels

How to Make a Rainbow using Soft Pastels – Peaceful Moments Stamp Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Do any of you remember a series on Tv called Rainbow Brite. I had the doll and few other bits if I recall correctly. I think I also did a tapestry of her but not sure where that is now. Rainbows are magic to me. There is a scientific reason why they happen but to see one in the sky is magic.

In the new catalogue Stampin’ Up! brought out some soft pastels and I’ve been dying to play with them. They are beautifully soft and creamy. I blended them with water and then went over the image again with pastel to get a better blend. It is definitely a learning curve and I know I am going to have fun learning and playing more with these new colouring mediums.
