I don’t think I’ve ever shared a mini slimline card with you before. They are a cute size. There is much less space to fill up so they are perfect for fast and easy cards.

I’ve stepped this card by gold heat embossing the sentiment. Heat embossing always makes a card something special. There is something magical about the dull powder turning gold and shiny.

I was so glad this stamp set didn’t retire this year. I love all the big bold sentiments. They are my cup of tea. This is a very simple card but I’ve added interest with the doily. These are the Heart & Home doilies. They actually come in blue, green & brown. I wanted white though so I used the backside instead!!

I’ve had these doilies sitting in my stash for the best part of the year and never used them. That had to change, so I designed this card to start using them. I’m really pleased with how it turned out.

The Fresh Freesia layer at the back is all one die cut. It cuts beautifully and comes out of the die like a dream. I used the die brush attachment and the Take Your Pick Tool to get rid of all the little bits.

This is a very simple bag to make. The sentiment is actually a journaling card from the Hand Penned Memory & More cards. I fussy cut the sentiment out and stuck it on at an angle for a little sass. You can leave the base open and store the bag flat, just sticking it when you want to use it.

I love how this turned out. The little clip closure is from my stash. I have a ton of them as I love pretty stationery stuff. Who doesn’t? This paper is the new Heart & Home designer series paper (DSP). It reminds me of Spring which is hopefully on its way soon. I have a ton of these boxes in the craft room, just waiting to be gifted out.

How to Use Debossing on Your Cards – Focus Friday

How to Use Debossing on Your Cards – Focus Friday – Flowers of Friendship – Dotty Hearts – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to another Focus Friday blog and video. Today we are focusing on debossing. When you emboss there are always two sides to each design, the front that is embossed and the back that is debossed. We are using that reverse side here today. This is the Dotty Hearts embossing folder. It is a mini one and is perfect for creating a panel on a card as I’ve done here.

Simple Colouring with Alcohol Markers

Simple Colouring with Alcohol Markers – Stampin’ Blends – Blessings of Home – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

If you follow my posts you will know I love to colour and paint. I find it so theraputic. It makes me happy. This lovely image is all one stamp from the new Blessings at Home set. It stamps beautifully and is so easy to colour. I’ve used the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers here as they make blending so easy.

If you are worried about colouring don’t be. Just start playing. Learn from any mistakes you may. Take you time and be easy on yourself. I colour from light to dark but you could equally go the other way. One trick is less is more. It is easy to add more colour but much more difficult to take it away. Just enjoy the process and of course have fun.
