How to Make a Teabag Pouch / Holder

How to Make a Teabag Pouch / Holder – Friends For Life – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I first made one of these teabag holders when I joined Stampin’ Up! That was over 12 years ago. Can you believe it? Time flies. These are easy to make from one sheet of 6″ X 6″ of paper or cardstock. I’ve chosen some nice herbal teas to do in them. I think these holders would be great as a little gift or as part of a hamper to give to someone special.

Full of Life Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 6″ X 6″ folded in half point to point on the diagonal. You will then fold again at the 2″ mark. See the video tutorial below for a full explanation.

My Ode to the Chelsea Flower Show – Flower Cart

My Ode to the Chelsea Flower Show – Flower Cart – Simply Said – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

As some of you know I design my cards weeks ahead of them going “live” on my blog. I was watching the Chelsea Flower Show and as you may know, my maternal family is from South Africa. The South African stand got a Gold Medal and Best Stand in the Great Pavilion. This was the inspiration behind this card.

Don’t these cupcakes look delicious? They are from the Pocket Thoughts stamp set and are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers.

Another Idea – How to Use Heat Embossing and Ink Blending.

Another Idea – How to Use Heat Embossing and Ink Blending. – Enduring Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

I’ve used this set previously to make a few cards. I decided to step it up with this card and use heat embossing alongside the ink blending. All the stamping is heat embossed with silver embossing powder. It will resist the ink blending, leaving the silver metallic lines.

I’ve coloured this card using the matching stencils. This gives these florals this lovely shading.

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.

Make a Clean & Simple Birthday Card

Make a Clean & Simple Birthday Card – Happiness Abounds – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

There are two things that make this card for me. The first is the gorgeous flower and the second is the Cane Weave embossing folder. I wanted to keep this card clean and simple. This really highlights the gorgeous flower focal image.

I coloured the flower using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. The first card is Fresh Freesia and the second one is Tahitian Tide. Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below.

Make a Tonal Birthday Card

Make a Tonal Birthday Card – Sweetest Cherries – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Sweetest Cherries is another stamp set that I’ve realised I’ve hardly used this year. I’m currently going through my stamps and trying to use those that I’ve not used yet or hardly used. Are you doing the same? If not why not join in and use all those wonderful things you have.

I’ve made this card in two colour ways, one is Sweet Sorbet and the other is Tahitian Tide. I know that cherries aren’t turquoise but I’m claiming artistic licence.

How to Use the Marigold Dies – Stampin’ Up!

How to Use the Marigold Dies – Stampin’ Up! – Amazing Year – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I made a card using the matching stamp set and loved it. I decided to use just the dies this time in the same colourway and am so pleased with how it came out.

The die set from Two Tone Flora not only has dies to cut out the matching stamp set but also this extra die that cuts out a full card front design. I think it’s so pretty with the Orchid Oasis designer series paper behind it.

Hearts aren’t just for Valentine’s Day

Hearts aren’t just for Valentine’s Day – Framed Florets – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Hearts can definitely be used all here around. I think they are great for birthday cards as I’ve done here. This is actually a card we made in my virtual card club. You can join in the next one here.

My favourite die in the Framed Florets dies set is this one that cuts out an oval of little hearts. It’s so cute. Next time I want to try it with vellum over patterned paper.

Petal Park – One Way to Use this Set

Petal Park – One Way to Use this Set – Happiness Abounds – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Funnily enough, I’ve used the punch that goes with the Petal Park stamp set more than the actual stamp set. I love punches and I hoard them. There is a huge collection in my retired drawers. I wanted to use the stamp set though and this is the card I came up with.

The leaves are actually the same stamp, once stamped the right way up and then again upside down. At first, the two areas of foliage looked very weird even after I added the flowers. The sentiment between the two foliage elements brought the card together.
