I love to read, do you? I know we have digital books but there is something special about real books. Nothing can beat it. I do admit I will buy fiction books digitally but never nonfiction. It’s just too hard to keep referencing back to previous pages digitally.

Making your own bookmarks is so easy and why not have something pretty to keep your page? This bookmark is a magnetic one. I bought the magnet pairs online a few years ago and still have tons left.

The inspiration for this project is the neighbourhood ginger cat. I don’t know where his home is but he loves to sunbath either in my drive or garden.

How to Use Heat Embossing to Help You Watercolour

The Berry Harvest stamp is a large background stamp. When I saw this one I knew I wanted to watercolour the image. I’ve heat-embossed the image with gold embossing powder. Heating embossing the image makes water colouring easy as the embossing helps you stay in the lines.

For my watercolouring, I used a water painter and my ink pads. Quick, easy and lots of fun. I do painting and colouring, do you?

I love the Les Shoppes suite of products from Stampin’ Up! They include the stamps and dies that I’ve used above as well as paper and sequins. You can do so much with these stamps and dies. I love stamps that allow you to build a scene. There are endless possibilities for customisation. You could have a street of shops, tables, benches, flowers and of course that lovely lamp post.

I think the shop window would make a lovely shaker card. You could have the door opening to reveal a hidden image or sentiment. The paper is gorgeous as well with lots of shop fronts if you don’t want to stamp and colour your own.

How I Made this Rainbow Cloud – Thinking of You Card – Warm Welcome – Quiet Meadow – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I was proud of this idea of a rainbow bridge made using the cloud punch. The highlights on the clouds are made using a white gel pen. The little kitty sitting under the bridge waiting for his owner is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.

It is always difficult making cards such as these but I hope this would bring comfort.

The rainbow bridge is a pastel rainbow and my colours are:

  • Petal Pink
  • Calypso Coral
  • Lemon Lolly
  • Soft Sea Foam
  • Balmy Blue
  • Highland Heather

I love my rainbow cards. Normally I go for the bright bold colours but I decided to change things up for this baby card. I made a pastel rainbow instead and I love it. The critters in the Little Dreamers stamp set are just so cute. You just want to cuddle them, or perhaps that’s just me.

I used two different images for both of these pastel rainbow cards. One has the elephant and the other the cow. Which do you like best? I coloured the cow using our Stampin’ Write markers and the elephant using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol makers. I think they both work well here. Just remember to use Memento Tuxedo Black for the alcohol markers and Stazon Black for the Stampin’ Write Markers.

Wild & Sweet – How I Made a Panda Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Isn’t this panda adorable? Just hanging out on this branch watching the world go by. I coloured the branches and leaves using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I think they are my favourite colouring medium. The details in this panda are just amazing. You could colour in the panda as well but I left it as I liked the shading the stamping gave it.

Instead of just having a plain green background I added extra interest with a background stamp. The background stamp used here is Sketched Plaid. The stamping is tone-on-tone just to give some subtle interest.

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.

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Panels of Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Basic White Cardstock that fit the background panel at your chosen angles.

Isn’t this little bunny having fun in the rain? It reminds me of children and puddles. They are drawn to them like a magnet. I love watching them so free and happy playing in the puddles. Good fun!!

These images are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. They are easy to colour. I made a mask of the bunny rabbit so that I could stamp the raindrops and not have them cover the image. To create the mask I just stamped the image on some masking paper and then fussy cut it out. I save the masks for future use in the front of my stamp case.

Masking is a great technique to use when building a scene. It allows you to make some images appear in the foreground and push others into the background. I’ve used masking when stamping these toadstools. I stamped the toadstool on some masking paper and fussy cut the image out. The masked image is stored in the front of my stamp case and can be used time and time again.
