How to Use Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads for Heat Embossing – Phrases for All – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

Quite often, I find people forget that they can use the Stampin’ Up! ink pads for heat embossing. The pads are juicy and therefore, stay wet long enough for embossing. You do have to work quickly but it is easy to do. The colour I’ve used here is Pretty Peacock with the Phrases for All stamp set. You can’t see the embossing in the photo above but it is clear in the video below.

  • Soft Stipped DSP – 13.85cm X 9.5cm

I missed the Paper Florist die set in the catalogue when I first looked. I saw a project made by a fellow demonstrator and then of course I had to have it. It is an amazing die set. There are so many different flower dies and you can use them in any combination to create a variety of flowers.

We made this card in card club recently and I loved choosing which flower combinations to use. You can make them in any colour variation you like. The world is your oyster with this flower set. Can you tell that I’ve fallen in love with it?

All the papers here are from the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. Aren’t they pretty? I would never have thought to have used Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral together but they work well with each. I will definitely use this colour combo again.

The stamp set is Phrases for All and is quickly becoming a favourite. I love the font. It has an art deco vibe to me. What do you think? I made this card in two colour variations, which do you like best?

This card is perfect for those of you who prefer the more subtle muted colours in the Stampin’ Up range. It is colourful but not overly bright and bold. For once, I’ve not used Basic White cardstock but Very Vanilla. It just adds to this muted slightly vintage style I was going for.

The patterned paper is Inked Botanical. I love the mixture of colours in the collection. I’ve only used half a sheet of cardstock for each card but extended the feel of the paper through stamping. The little strip of going foil sheet just adds a touch of luxury to the card design.

I wasn’t sure about this card at all. I added all the rhinestones and it just made it all come together. It’s amazing how a small finishing touch can add so much to a card. I used the pretty flowers from Petal Park to decorate the simple wreath from the Cottage Wreaths set.

I have made this card in two colour ways, The pink version above or the purple one below. Which do you like best? Let me know in the comments below.

Make a Fun Hedgehog Card

Make a Fun Hedgehog Card – Phrases for All – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I was closing the blinds in the Orangery the other day and I saw a cute little hedgehog in the garden. He or She was in the middle of the grass just snuffling about. He looked so content and happy. It is heartwarming to see wildlife feeling safe and happy in our garden. This inspired me to create this sweet card.

I used the hedgehog punch and added detail using the black Stampin’ Write marker for the facial details. I sponged around the hedgehogs to create some shadows and make them look more dimensional.

The bag above is Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock, and below is Old Olive and Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer? The first bag I made had a pointed flap as above but when I made the second one I forgot to make a point and did a normal flap. You can tell me which flap shape you like best.

I love making z fold cards. They are so easy to make. This is a double z fold horizontal card. The one above is Pretty Peacock and Coastal Cabana and below is Calypso Coral. Which do you prefer?

The little stamped hearts are from the set called Phrases for All. They aren’t the main focus of the set but are so useful. Sometimes I think we ignore the smaller stamps in the set as they don’t always appear to “sing” the loudest.
