Sweet Songbirds Congratulations Card – Make it Now!

Sweet Songbirds Congratulations Card – Make it Now! – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I had a little story in my mind when I designed this card. The little green birdie was coming to tell Mr Red he’d passed his fledgling test and was now a fully qualified bird. Mr Red was congratulating him on passing with flying colours. Yes, I know the story was ridiculous but I just like the idea of these two birds twittering away together.

I love creating scene cards. All the stamps for this card come from just one set, Sweetsong Birds. I’ve added extra interest to the card with the basic borders die. It just sets off the gingham paper beautifully.

New Circle Punch – Yeah!!!

New Circle Punch – Yeah!!! – Circle Sayings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

We have a new circle punch. I’m so happy. If you know me, you’ll know that I love my punches. I hardly ever sell my retired punches and have quite the collection now. They are quick to use, don’t need any other equipment to use, and are easy to transport. Our new circle punch size is 2 3/8″. So useful for matting and layering. It works well with the circles in the Stylish Shapes dies.

Easy Congratulations Card with No Stamping Required

Easy Congratulations Card with No Stamping Required – Hand-Penned – Memory & More Cards – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK.

This card uses the gorgeous Hand-Penned suite of products. Specifically, I’ve used the designer series paper (DSP) & Memory and More Cards. The Memory & More cards are not just for pocket scrapbooking, they work great for cardmaking as well.

I’ve inked the edges of everything. This helps each layer pop from the other. The sentiment is a sticker but I’ve popped it up with dimensional to make it stand out against everything else.

Monochrome Congrats Card -How to Make it

Monochrome Congrats Card -How to Make it – Art Gallery – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love how this card turned out. These flowers are so pretty. They were super easy to create using the Stamparatus. The stamp set is Art Gallery and it’s a two-step stamping set. Check out the video below for some tips & tricks for using the Stamparatus that make two-step stamping a breeze. Bermuda is my favourite colour and even though it may not be a typical colour for a flower I think they look amazing.

How to Make an Off-Set Gatefold Card

How to Make an Off-Set Gatefold Card – Dragonfly Garden – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card is made using the Dragonfly suite from the mini catalogue. Dragonflies are a favourite of my upline Amanda Fowler and I was thinking of her when I created this card. My favourite part of this card is the gorgeous rhinestones that I have used for the bodies of the dragonflies.

Gatefold cards are very easy to make as you are just scoring a normal cardbase slightly differently. The one dragonfly creates my closure so the card will still stand up.

So, I have a question for you. Which do you prefer dragonflies or butterflies? Let me know in the comments below. I think I am a butterfly girl as I love seeing them flittering among all the pretty flowers.

Make A Big Gift Box – 6″ X 6″ – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a really good size box that would be useful not only as a gift box but also as a storage box. The paper is gorgeous isn’t? It is the Flower & Field designer series paper which is a freebie I got during Sale-a-bration. There is very little wastage with this box as the belly band is made using the left over cardstock from making the base.

Always Together, Yours Forever – Special Card

Always Together, Yours Forever – Special Card – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a beautiful but simple card, that is perfect for Valentine’s Day or a wedding anniversary. It is very easy to put together as I have used adhesive sheet on the back of the sentiment before I cut them out. The stamp set is Forever and Always. I love it as it has this big bold sentiment and matching dies. The dies will cut out the words love and always without the need for stamping as well. So versatile. The ribbon is the new Blackberry Bliss striped ribbon and it’s stunning.

New Home – Card Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

Earlier this year we had new neighbours. I wanted to give them a card to welcome to their new home but found I didn’t really have an appropriate set. This set called Coming Home from the new catalogue is perfect for that.

I’ve done a little bit of paper piecing here. The designer series paper (DSP) here is from the 2019-2021 in colours. They are Sea Side Spray and Rococo Rose. I’ve stamped the images on these sheets and cut them out with the matching dies. I’ve then fussy cut the rooves and stuck them on the main house images. They look rather cute I think.

Yellow Irises – Inspiring Iris – Stampin’ Up!

I have this lovely floral card featuring these beautiful yellow irises. It makes for this bright and sunny congratulations card.

There are only flowers stamps used here. If you vary the height and angle of the stamps you will stop it look like repeat stamping. The stamps give quite a sketchy appearance which helps to cover up any mistakes in colouring.

The images are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I’ve used quite a few colours to blend the yellows. I love colouring, it is such relaxing past time when I’m feeling stressed and anxious.

I’ve used the Holiday Rhinestones to fill some of the white space. To me, it looks like pollen blowing around in the breeze. I’m so pleased they carried over as I love all the
