Using Repeat Stamping to Make an Easy Card – New In-colours – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK.

This card uses the new in-colours. I’ve used this hello stamp from the Biggest Wish stamp set to stamp repeatedly the sentiment in the new in-colours. It is so effective and makes a great bold, focal feature. Simple to make and easy to repeat.

Oh my, I love these cute little ladybirds. They stamp beautifully and are so easy to put together. I’ve added little white accents on the ladybirds using a white gel pen. They really lift the whole image and make them pop. Sometimes it’s just a small detail that really makes or breaks a card. I do quite a bit of art journaling and am always using my white gel pen so thought I would into my cardmaking as well.

Welcome to this “Friday Focus” post. For the month of April, we are looking at all things Shaker Cards. Today’s card is what I would call a standard shaker card. It uses foam strips and tape to create a shaker card. It has dimension and shakes beautifully.

I’ve not used these shaker shapes in the shaker before. They have been sitting in my stash for the last year and at last, they are seeing the light of day. They are great, bright and fun.

I absolutely adore this Pansy Petals paper. It is so pretty. As you know I’m a sucker for anything floral and so this is a match made in heaven. I’ve used this paper a number of times and wanted to give one more outing this week before it retires at the end of this month.

This card is totally out of my comfort zone. I’m not generally a seaside type of person. I prefer to explore historical areas and learn about how people live. I’m really pleased with how this turned out. I love the waves dies. You can do so much with them. I plan to use them again with lots of different techniques.

As a teenager, I remember visiting the lighthouse at Cape Point with my Granny. My mother and Aunt climbed to the top and stayed downstairs as I was afraid of heights. This lighthouse reminds me of those special memories.

Tone on Tone Effect – How to Achieve it with Stencils – Happiest of Birthday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up D

Welcome to this Focus Friday post. Today we are looking at using stencils to give a tone on tone effect on cards. You can see this effect in the picture above. It gives some added interest to the background of the card and helps makes the sentiment really pop. For extra interest, I have added a velum doily to the top and bottom of the sentiment. This is an extra layer of interest but you can still the background behind it.

Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana are two of my favourite colours. They go so well together alongside Pool Party. I’ve kept this card in those tones and love the outcome.

I myself love to watch crafting videos on YouTube. Normally I would just add my sentiment to this background without much embellishment. I’m trying to move out of my comfort zone. I’ve used two punches, the spring and the bough punch to create these embellishments in coordinating colours.

Daffodils How to Water Colour with Ink Pads – Daffodil Daydream – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

This month, the Focus Friday videos have been concentrating on colouring. Today we are looking a colouring with ink pads and water painters. You can also use a reinker. I tend to add a dot of reinker to the lid of the ink pads. I pick this colour up with my water painter. Don’t touch your brush to the actual ink pad though.

Am important consideration when watercolouring is what paper to use. I use either shimmer white cardstock or our Fluid 100 watercolour paper. If you use Basic White you will find the paper will pill. You need a paper that will stand up to the amount of water you will be using. Watercolour paper will have a texture to it so it is useful to use the Stamparatus get to a crisp clean image. I used Stazon ink to stamp as it’s permanent.

Welcome to another Focus Friday Project. Every month I chose a certain product or group of tecninques and each Friday for that month we focus on one specific technique. This month it has been embossing folders. Today we are looking at embossing onto an inked background.

I used a blending brush to ink the background first with Petal Pink and then Magenta Madness. I tried to get a varied mix of colours. The background was then embossed with the new Hive 3D embossing folder. The ink blending really highlights all the gorgeous texture from the embossing folder.
