Just a little boy and his dog, how cute!! This stamp set is “By My Side”. I’ve used it a few times but it has mainly just sat on the shelf. I really need to use it more as it’s so sweet. The image is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love colouring and this was a lovely relaxing card to make.

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.

There are two things that make this card for me. The first is the gorgeous flower and the second is the Cane Weave embossing folder. I wanted to keep this card clean and simple. This really highlights the gorgeous flower focal image.

I coloured the flower using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The first card is Fresh Freesia and the second one is Tahitian Tide. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

I was thinking of RAKs when I made this card. When I first got into crafting I had no idea what a RAK was. Then I found out it means “Random Act of Kindness”. So sweet!! I have some goodies this year for a few RAKs and giveaways. Stay tuned to my blog and Facebook group for all the information.

The colouring on this card was super quick using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I love how easy they are to blend and they also give me great results.

This is a card design I’ve used many a time. Little critters always look cute popping through a window in a card. I’ve linked the two windows with the flying balloon.

The creatures are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. They are one of my favourite colouring items. I’ve used the crumb cake one so much that I will have to buy a new one soon. It’s lasted a number of years though so that is good.

Aren’t these bunnies so cute? I don’t usually make Easter cards but I couldn’t resist these cuties. I kept them white as I always see the Easter bunny as white. There are many elements in the stamp set to create a lovely scene including the grass, bird and butterfly.

Do you make Easter cards? Let me know in the comments below.

This is a very simple card but I absolutely love the sentiment. The little kitty next to the door is extra cute. I think it’s great to send a card just to let someone know they are not alone.

The card is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love them as they are easy to blend and more importantly I enjoy using them. Which colouring medium is your favourite?

No Lines Watercolouring – Easy Trick

I do like the look of watercolouring with no harsh lines from stamping. It gives the whole image a softer appearance. There are a number of ways to achieve this look. Today I show you a simple trick using clear heat embossing.

I stamped the image using versamark ink and heat embossed using clear powder. Now when you watercolour you won’t see the lines and the watercolour will resist the heat embossing allowing you to colour with no lines. One final tip is to use Shimmery White or watercolour cardstock as it will stand up to the water much better than Basic White cardstock.

Tutorial – Make a Magnetic Bookmark – Adorable Owls – Crafting with Ashee -Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

The photo doesn’t do this little chap justice. He is just adorable in real life. I love reading and consequently love making little bookmarks to use. This one uses a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration (SAB). The stamp set is Adorable Owls. During SAB for every £45.00 of product, you purchase you can choose a freebie from the SAB catalogue. This is one of my favourites.

He has been coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers, one of my favourite ways to colour. I’ve changed the way I colour in that I now go from dark to light instead of the reverse. I got the little magnetic strips online years ago. They are easy to find and quite cheap.

I love how this card turned out. These little owls are so cute. They are from the Adorable Owls stamp set, a freebie during Sale-a-bration. They were made for colouring. I had a relaxing time colouring using my Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Recently I’ve changed my colouring method. I tend to go from light to dark in each colour instead of the other way around as I did before.
