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.

Measurements

  • Poppy Parade Cardstock – 15cm X 7cm scored at 7.5cm on the long side.
  • Forest Friends Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 7cm X 4.5cm

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.

I enjoyed making this card. The presents are actually just one stamp. I stamped it a few times and then cut them apart to create this stack of presents. The little kittie sitting atop the pile is just adorable. You just know the whole pile is going to fall over when he jumps off.

I’ve coloured these images using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers which as you know I love. The cards are done in two colour ways. Which do you prefer?

How to Use the Snowball Accent Puff Paint

How to Use the Snowball Accent Puff Paint – Santa Delivery – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I’ve used the Santa Delivery stamp set before and am in love with it. It’s just so cute. It really says Christmas to me. I’ve coloured it using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers as before. I do find it so relaxing, I can just lose myself in the colouring.

For a while, I’ve wanted to use the Snowball Accents Puff paint but it has just sat in my stash. I decided to use it at least. Here are my thoughts. It does puff up nicely. The puff is not solid but more squishy. It also is very light which is great for posting. You can see above I’ve used a small line of paint under the wheels of the train. Try to keep your line of paint quite thin as the thicker it is the longer it will take to puff up. Do make sure you get your heat tool, nice and hot before you bring it to the paint. It really needs to be hot to get the paint to puff up. If you get it hot before you bring it to the card there is less chance of your paper warping.

Normally, I’m not a fan of gnomes but I’ve fallen in love with this set. I think it’s because it’s perfect for colouring and I love to colour. These cuties are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend Alcohol markers.

The design is very simple with 3 little rectangles that are matted on a darker colour of the same design. Each little gnome has a little area of this own. The colours of the papers above are Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. Below you can see my other version which is Tahitian Tide and Starry Sky. Which do you prefer?

I’ve done this two colour ways. Above is Shaded Spruce and below is Real Red, which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments.

I will be honest, normally I’m not into gnomes but this set has won my heart. Isn’t this card cute? I thoroughly enjoyed colouring the card using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Popped on an audio book, relaxed and coloured to my hearts content.

I made this card, two colour ways. Above is the Real Red one and below is the Shaded Spruce (green) one. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments. This card could be for Christmas or a new home one. We moved into our current house just after Christmas. It was actually sleeting on the day we moved in.
