Welcome to this Focus Friday project. Today we are looking at using dies to create your own stencils. I used the Basic Border dies to make this stencil.

I adore this Hello Ladybug stamp set and have used it a number of times already. This little ladybird is just so cute. I’ve heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder so that it can be seen against the red patterned paper. Hopefully, this ladybird will make your wishes come true.

I love the bright and summery feel of this card. So pretty. The stamp set is Bottled Happiness and it’s a two step stamping set. I love how it allows you to build up this floral arrangement.

As part of Focus Friday I’ve done a whole set of different shaker cards. You can find them all here on YouTube.

This fox looks a lot redder in the photo than he does in real life. I coloured him using a water painter and Cajun Craze ink pad. You can mix colours to colour the little fox in as well. The grass is Old Olive and the sky is Balmy Blue. I love playing with colours. It’s such fun.

How to Use the Amazing Phrases Stamp Set – Create a Border – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Amazing Phrases is one of the free sets I got during Sale-a-bration. It has lots of sayings but I focused on the two words, amazing and hey. I stamped them around the edge of my paper to create this fun border for my focal sentiment. The card is very tonal but you could have equally stamped in versamark and heat embossed in the colour of your choice.

How to Use Ghost Stamping in Cardmaking – Stacked Stone – Daffodil DayDreams – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

Hello, I’m back with another Focus Friday project to share with you. The focus in July is on large / background stamps. I’ve used the Stacked Stone stamp here to stamp the background in different areas. I haven’t used a block to stamp with so the stamping is imperfect and merges into the background in place. This gives an organic and distressed feel to the card.
