How to Heat Embossed Resist an Image – Quiet Meadow – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

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.

I love heat embossing. It is such a magical process. For the whole month of October, we are looking at different techniques with heat embossing. Make sure you check back next Friday for another idea.

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.

Embossed Resist – How to with Blending Brushes

Embossed Resist – How to with Blending Brushes – Butterfly Brilliance – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I love anything that has a mixed-media vibe to it. So much fun to play with colours, different textures and techniques. This background started off as a plain piece of basic white cardstock, can you believe it?

I’ve combined the embossed heat resist technique and blending brushes. It creates this gorgeous card. The butterflies are all one stamp set; Butterfly Brilliance.

Simple Blending & Heat Embossing Birthday Card

Simple Blending & Heat Embossing Birthday Card – Happiest of Birthdays – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve been having fun playing with my new blending brushes. Initially I ordered one pack which has three brushes but recently order two more packs I now a brush for each colour in the colour wheel as well as grey and brown. I just clean them off after use on a towel and they are good to go.

I used three different blues to create this background starting with lightest, Balmy Blue, then Pacific Point and finally Night of Navy. Layering the colours always creates extra depth and interest in the background I feel.

How to make a Monochromatic Card

How to make a Monochromatic Card – Corner Bouquet – Blending Brushes – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

This card only uses ink, paper and card. The colour is Terracotta Tile. It is one of the 2019 – 2021 in colours that retires this year. I am trying to use these colours and enjoy them before they retire. I’ve used my favourite blending brushes to create a background that fades to white. I’ve then stamped over with the same colour using the Corner Bouquet stamp set. I like the effect. The rhinestones just give it that special something.

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!!
