Make an Interactive Card with Stars – Give it a Whirl – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I love interactive cards. They are so much fun to make and receive. I wanted to make a card that featured die cuts in the active element rather than stamping. I’ve had this die for a while and only used it once before. It was time it got to star centre stage again.

This card has a little wheel that whirls around showing you different images as you go around. Here I’ve used different coloured stars but you could equally stamp three little messages.

How to Layer the Artistic Masks / Stencils

How to Layer the Artistic Masks / Stencils – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Stencils/masks are a quick and easy way to make a background for your cards. Here I’ve used two of the masks from the Artistic Masks set. I’ve layered them up to create this fun pattern. Layering stencils allow you to add texture and depth of interest to your backgrounds.

These cards are very tonal. I laid the colour down with a blending brush, using the lighter colour first and adding interest with the darker one. I made this card in two different colour ways. Which do you prefer?

Make an Easy Panel Birthday Card

Make an Easy Panel Birthday Card – Lovely Linen – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This is a very simple card to make. The banner and sentiment pull the whole thing together. I’ve used different patterns for each panel but they are all from the same collection so they match very well. The little bit of white around the panels really makes everything pop.

Make the Best of Your Scraps – Using Strips

Make the Best of Your Scraps – Using Strips – Peaceful Moments – Focus Friday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin Up Demo – Lincoln UK

I’m back today with another Focus Friday card. During the month of June, I’m looking at different ways to use our designer series paper (DSP). Today I used scraps to create these cards. These are small strips that would otherwise go unused and stay in my stash forever.

I pulled the card together with a heat embossed sentiment from Peaceful Moments. I heat embossed the cardstock mat so that everything would match.

Keep it to One Colour – The Spotlighting Technique

Keep it to One Colour – The Spotlighting Technique – Painted Poppies – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo

This is a Focus Friday post. This May I have been focusing on the topic of “Colour”. This week I am looking at just using one colour to spotlight a focal image on the card. This card uses only the colour red. White and black aren’t strickly colours on the colour wheel. I’ve used the red to spotlight the poppies and really make them pop on this card.

Milk Carton Style Gift Box – How to Make it!

Milk Carton Style Gift Box – How to Make it! – Harvest Meadow DSP – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I love making little gift boxes and bags. I’ve made this style before but I just love how cute it looks. The binder clip closure is just something different. It also uses up my huge stash of clips. I love stationery and have a collection of different paper clips, binder clips and lots more. Sad but true.

The paper is the Harvest Meadow designer series paper (DSP) and I love these bright and joyful colours. This gift box uses Bumble Bee and Misty Moonlight. These are both primary colours and work well together.

Gutting Paper – Dies – Easy Birthday Card – Tutorial

Gutting Paper – Dies – Easy Birthday Card – Tutorial – Sunny Sentiments – You’re a Peach – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a very simple card you can make quickly when you need a card. The designer series paper (DSP) is You’re a Peach. I gutted the first layer to make the matt for my circle. This gaping hole in the paper is of course covered by the second layer. Clever!!

Peach season is long since gone but we can still use the pretty paper and relive the memories of summer. I love this paper and will continue to use it throughout the year. It is so bright and beautiful.

How to Make a Rainbow using Soft Pastels

How to Make a Rainbow using Soft Pastels – Peaceful Moments Stamp Set – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

Do any of you remember a series on Tv called Rainbow Brite. I had the doll and few other bits if I recall correctly. I think I also did a tapestry of her but not sure where that is now. Rainbows are magic to me. There is a scientific reason why they happen but to see one in the sky is magic.

In the new catalogue Stampin’ Up! brought out some soft pastels and I’ve been dying to play with them. They are beautifully soft and creamy. I blended them with water and then went over the image again with pastel to get a better blend. It is definitely a learning curve and I know I am going to have fun learning and playing more with these new colouring mediums.
