How to Create a Stunning Christmas Card – Artful Amaryllis – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love the bright and vibrant colours of this card. I’ve used Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry to create this gorgeous blended background. They work well together, do you agree? The emboss resist technique makes this focal image pop.

Reindeer Fun – How I Made This Christmas Card

Reindeer Fun – How I Made This Christmas Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Scene cards are one of my favourite types of cards to create. This mother deer and her baby are sweet and perfect for a focal image for any Christmas card. I made the snowbank the old-fashioned way with my scissors. The purpose was to show you don’t always need dies to cut everything.

The mother and baby deer are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I only used two colours, Crumb Cake and Petal Pink. Crumb Cake is my favourite shade of brown for animals.

Falling Snow – How To Do It – Emboss Resist Technique

Falling Snow – How To Do It – Emboss Resist Technique – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love the simplicity of this Christmas Card. The main star of the card is the Falling Snow background stamp. I’ve white heat embossed it on Azure Afternoon cardstock and then ink blended in the same colour over the top. The white heat-embossed areas resist the ink and stay bright white. Such a gorgeous effect.

Bunny “Singing in the Rain” Friendship Card

Bunny “Singing in the Rain” Friendship Card – Playing in the Rain – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I love this bunny singing in the rain. The story I told myself, was that he was the bunny version of Gene Kelly. So cute!! This card showcases several techniques including colouring with Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers, heat embossing and emboss resist.

The background stamp set is the Drizzling Droplets stamp. It is an online exclusive. When I first saw it I knew I wanted to use it with this bunny from Playing in the Rain. I love background stamps. Do you?

Botanical Beauty – How to do the Emboss Resist Technique

Botanical Beauty – How to do the Emboss Resist Technique – Biggest Wishes – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This card was made using the emboss resist technique. I heat-embossed a piece of white cardstock with clear embossing powder. Then, a layer of ink was applied over the top using blending brushes. The embossed areas will resist the ink leaving this lovely effect.

I have made this card in two different colour ways. The above is Coastal Cabana, Pool Pary and Lost Lagoon, below is Berry Burst and Bubble Bath. Which version do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

How to Use the Stellar Birthday Stamp Set

How to Use the Stellar Birthday Stamp Set – Heat Embossing – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Who has dreamt of flying into space? Those of you of a certain age will remember making rockets with Fairy washing up liquid bottles. Unfortunately they have now changed the shape but many a child impatiently waited for the bottle to finish to make a rocket. I loved playing like that, we didn’t need lots of toys as a good imagination did the trick.

Try Something New -Embossed Resist Technique

Try Something New – Embossed Resist Technique – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I felt like trying something new in my cardmaking. I have done the embossed resist technique a few times before but not for a long time.

Sponging ink on to my cardstock have always been a technique I struggled with. The sponge squeaks and it comes out super blotchy. I struggle to blend the colours. I was watching various videos on YouTube and I saw someone use these oval make up blending brushes. They work great!! I’m so chuffed.

I’ve embossed the background with clear embossing powder and the Stacked Stone background stamp set. When you sponge the ink, it will only take where there is no embossing. The clear embossed sections will resist the ink.

Daisy Daisy, give me your answer

This Daisy birthday card reminders me of the old song we used to sing as children. The card uses both the large Daisy punch as well as the Daisy Lane stamp set.

Daisy Lane Birthday Card, made using supplies from Stampin' Up!

I love daisies, as Meg Ryan said in You’ve Got Mail, “They’re so friendly”. My Granny always had a beautiful big yellow daisy bush in her garden back in South Africa. I have many pictures it and of me standing in front of it. Daisies therefore hold a special place in my heart as they remind me of my Granny. We couldn’t find a yellow Marguerite in the UK for years but we have one now which is starting to flower this year.

This card uses a plethora of techniques including, emboss resist, inking and punching. I enjoy mixing things up and seeing what happens.

Bold and Bright colours are my thing and this card ticks both those boxes for me. I have used the Mango Melody, So Saffron and Daffodil Delight inks to make a blended background.

The stamp set is a new set called Daisy Lane which is companion set to the Daisy Delight set that carried over. They both coordinate with the large and medium Daisy punch. If you already have the one set then this is a great addition to your stash.
