The Berry Harvest stamp is a large background stamp. When I saw this one I knew I wanted to watercolour the image. I’ve heat-embossed the image with gold embossing powder. Heating embossing the image makes water colouring easy as the embossing helps you stay in the lines.

For my watercolouring, I used a water painter and my ink pads. Quick, easy and lots of fun. I do painting and colouring, do you?

How to Make this Christmas Tree Heat Embossed Card – Merriest Trees – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I do love the Merriest Tree Stamp and Die Bundle. It has so many possibilities. There are a few sizes of Christmas Trees and here I’ve used the largest one. The sentiment is made to fit in the tree die cut. Isn’t that clever? I’ve white heat embossed to make it really pop against the green.

Heat embossing has always seemed like magic to me. This card is full of it. I’ve heat-embossed the background, sentiments and even the little tree decorations. Yes, I had a heat embossing feast.

I love heat embossing. It never loses its magic. White heat embossing on coloured cardstock is so effective. It makes the white text really pop from the background.

The stamp set is More Wishes and matches the font of the Biggest Wish stamp set in the annual catalogue. I love its big bold sentiments so this works for me.

Do you like heat embossing? I have quite a collection of different embossing powders. A goal is to use them more and explore all the various techniques for heat embossing.

I do love stencils. They are amazing. There is so much you can do with them. I get every stencil Stampin’ Up! release. They are perfect for easy backgrounds and focal images alike.

The stencil I’ve used today is part of the Abundant Beauty pack. It creates a simple autumnal background. You can use just one ink colour or multiple colours as I’ve done today. I took my blending brushes and ink pads and had lots of fun.

I have this great-sized gift box to share with you today. This box will hold a set of A6 cards and envelopes. What a great Christmas gift.

This is a simple box to make. It measures 6 3/4″ X 5″ and is 2″ deep. I’ve made the box into different colour combinations. Which one do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

The sentiment for here is stamped in Real Red / Blueberry Bushel Ink. This is dried and the sentiment is restamped using Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. This is a great trick if you don’t have a ton of different coloured embossing powders.

Most of the time we heat emboss on plain cardstock and more often than not on white cardstock. Here I’ve heat embossed on designer series paper (DSP). It really works well. The one thing to remember is to choose a colour of embossing powder that will really pop against your background. Here the white really pops against the dark background.

I’ve added mini embellishments here, letting the heat-embossed sentiment be the star of the show. The stamp set is More Wishes and is a Christmas version of Biggest Wish from the main catalogue. These sets are firm favourites of mine. I adore the big, bold font.

I will admit when I first bought the Countryside Corners set that I didn’t realise it was all one stamp. You can cut apart all the frames using the matching dies. If you are feeling brave you can cut apart the rubber stamp as well. Not sure if I’m that brave yet.

This set I thought was perfect for heat embossing. I’ve used one of the new in colours, Moody Mauve and white heat embossed the stamp set and sentiment. I really like how it came out. In the card below I used another in colour Boho Blue. Which do you prefer?

No Lines Watercolouring – Easy Trick

No Lines Watercolouring – Easy Trick – Daffodil Day Dream – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

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.

I love how bright and white the heat-embossed snowflake looks against the red of the designer series paper. It acts as a perfect background for this cute little penguin. Do you love penguins? I have a friend who is mad about them. I was thinking of her when I made this card.

The Penguin Place stamp set has a matching punch for the penguin. I fussy cut out his hat and scarf. It is very simple fussy cutting but still, I was impressed with the outcome. I used the gold glimmer paper to give somewhere for my penguin to stand so he was floating. It adds that essential Christmas sparkle to the card.

I love the die I’ve used to cut out the frame for this card. It would also make a perfect shaker pocket don’t you think? The snowman is sitting on a snowbank cut from Very Vanilla glimmer paper. The camera doesn’t pick up the lovely glittery effect at all, but trust me it is there.

The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder to match the snowy vibe of the card.
