Night of Navy Archives – Crafting with Ashee

An Idea – How to use the Sailing Home Set

An Idea – How to use the Sailing Home Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

The “Sailing Home” stamp set is one I’ve had for a while but hardly ever used. I think it works well in this monochromatic card. I’ve stamped off with the boats to create a less bold image. The colour is night of navy and I used a marker in the same colour to add some lines around the boats and lighthouse. The sky and sea are just sponged gently in the same colour.

How to Make a Curved Top Gift Box – Choco Treat

How to Make a Curved Top Gift Box – Choco Treat – A Wish for Everything – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I was struggling to find an idea for a little gift box so I turned to good old Pinterest. I found an idea for box like this with a curved lid but boy oh boy did I struggle with what paper, what size I wanted it to be. In the end it turned out cute and it easy to make.

The lovely designer series paper (DSP) is “Well Suited” from the mini catalogue. I love this bright Poppy Parade red and it contrasts so well with the Night of Navy in the cardstock and little flowers. The paper flowers are made using the Small Blooms punch and mimic the little flowers in the DSP.

measurements

Night of Navy Cardstock – 6″ X 4 1/2″ scored at 1 1/2″ on each side.
Well Suited DSP – 6 1/4″ X 3″ scored at 1/2″ at either end of the long side.
Night of Navy cardstock 3″ x 1 1/2″

Making a Simple Sympathy Card

Making a Simple Sympathy Card using the Heal Your Heart stamp set. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Recently, sadly I needed to make a sympathy card. I decided to share this with you in case you are in the same situation. I was unsure how to go about designing such a card, so I went for simple and easy. The stamp set is actually one I just acquired during Sale-a-bration. I didn’t think I would use it, but there you go. The designer series paper (DSP) is Paper Blooms which is absolutely gorgeous. It gives the perfect backdrop to the sentiment.

Make a Magnetic Closure Christmas Gift Box

Make a Magnetic Closure Christmas Gift Box – Brightly Gleaming – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve used the Brightly Gleaming designer series paper (DSP) here to make these cute little gift boxes. I think the copper foiling really pops against both the Real Red and Melon Mambo pink. These boxes were both made using scraps of DSP from making another gift box which I will feature shortly on this blog.

I used small neodymium earth magnets that I got online for the magnetic closure. I covered both with some DSP so that the magnets were not so strong. The stamp set is Wrapped in Christmas and has some matching dies as well. This sentiment also matches the 1 1/2″ circle punch perfectly as well. I love punches and tend to use them rather than dies whenever I can.

measurements

Real Red / Melon Mambo – 8″ X 7 1/2″, Scored on the:
- 8″ side at 1″, 2″ & 7″

Easy Watercolouring with Pencils – Tips & Tricks

Easy Watercolouring with pencils – Tips & Tricks – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I have always loved to paint. The mixing and flowing of colours fascinate me. I dabbled in watercolour painting before I started papercraft and haven’t lost the love. If you are new to watercolouring then pencils make for such as easy entry to the medium. We all played with colouring pencils as kids. You are just colouring as you did as a child.

The video below goes through a few tips for easy water colouring including, what paper to use, how to lay down colour and how to blend it. The phrase is that practice makes perfect and that is certainly true here. The more you practise the less scary it becomes and the more you will enjoy it. Don’t be afraid to try, there is no one watching and you can as many mistakes as you like. We all make mistakes, that is how we learn.

How to Make it Shake!! Christmas Shaker Card

How to Make it Shake!! Christmas Shaker Card. Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love shaker cards but sometimes struggle with making them. This one turned out really well I think. The sequins around the card pic up on the sequins in the shaker card and give it a lovely cohesive effect. I embossed the Balmy Blue layer with the Woodlands embossing folder which matches the woodland feel of the stamped image.

When I was a child, I love Snow Globes. They weren’t as widely available as they are now and were so special. I love just loved watching all the glittery snow falling down on the scene. I still have a few that I have collected over the years that I put out for Christmas. This year I want to try and make one for myself. Watch this space!!

Stars in the Night – Christmas Blessings –

Stars in the Night – Christmas Blessings – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This card is simple but elegant. The designer series paper (DSP) is Brightly Gleaming. It has carried over from last year’s Christmas catalogue. I love all the copper foiling and have picked this up in using come copper foil sheet to mat my sentiment on .

I think this is a perfect card to make in bulk. It takes a few minutes only to make but is stunning and of course handmade. I don’t work in an office anymore but this is definitely one I would have made as my office Christmas card.

Yummy Treats – Gift Bag – Stampin’ Up!

I have this cute little gift bag to share with you today. It is perfect bag to give with some yummy treats. I have used chocolates here but you could equally have biscuits or sweets.

The designer series paper (DSP) is the Artistry Blooms paper and I love the ombre effect. I had to raid my mother’s stash of chocolates as I don’t them. As a Type 1 Diabetic and I find it just too difficult to match my insulin to the sugar in the chocolates with it causing issues so I don’t bother. I was never a chocolate fan so it’s no great loss to me. Head the warning though, never eat chocolates or sweets found in my craft room as they will be years and years old!!!

I think a little stack of biscuits would have looked good. Unfortunately, I haven’t baked in years. I did in London but here we have a fancy oven with sorts of programmes, bottom heat, top heat, circa roasting etc… I’m not sure which to use for baking and don’t want to ruin the biscuits so sadly I haven’t tried at all.
