Let’s Have Otter Fun – Simple Colouring – Card Tutorial

Let’s Have Otter Fun – Simple Colouring – Card Tutorial – Awesome Otter – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

Isn’t this little fellow cute? I love him!! Such a simple card but so pretty. I’ve coloured the otter using just two colours of Stampin’ Blend Alcohol Markers; Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake. There is no sentiment on this card on purpose so it can be used for whatever occasion you chose. Sometimes it’s good to have cards that can fit multiple purposes.

Golden Honey Gift Bag -Stampin’ Up – SAB 2020

I have a little Golden Honey gift bag to share with you today The Golden Honey Designer Series Paper (DSP) is so elegant and beautiful. I want to use it as much as possible for it goes away. This is a free sale-a-bration product so will only be available until the end of March.

I think this DSP is perfect for male cards as well. I love the foiling on every sheet. It is pretty without being tacky. This bag is very simple to make with a turned down top for extra interest. I did attempt to tie a bow to close it but as you can see I wasn’t very successful. I won’t tell you how many times I tried!!!

All I would say is as you are using paper, be careful when you score that you don’t tear it. Score lightly a few times rather than once heavily. I use the thicker end of the embossing tool as well.

measurements

Golden Honey DSP – 11″ x 7″ Scored at:
- Long Side – 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5 3/4″, 9 1/2″
- Short Side – 1″, 5 1/2″

Power of Hope – Sale-a-bration Set – Stampin’ Up!

The Power of Hope stamp set is a free set in sale-a-bration. I have found in previous years that I haven’t used all the sets I get in sale-a-bration but I am changing that this year.

This stamp set has an oriental feel to it. I, therefore, decided to use Popp Parade as the main colour. Power of Hope wasn’t a favourite of mine when I got it but I am really pleased with how this card turned out.

I’ve coloured the lady in with watercolour pencils and aqua painter. I love how the black frames make the images pop. Framing cards focuses the eye on the main image. I’ve used the shimmery white to watercolour on. Is important that you use a paper than stand up to the water. I find that if you whisper white then the paper will bobble and pill. I always you shimmery white or watercolour card.

Lovely Lily Card – Sale-a-bration – Stampin’ Up!

I have another card to share with you today using Sale-a-bration items. Sale-a-bration only lasts until the end of March. I, therefore, want to share with you something from all my free items before the end of March. This card uses the Lovely Lily stamp set with matching dies and designer series paper (DSP).

The Lovely Lily stamp set, Lily DSP and Lily dies are all free items from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. The first two are free with a £45 order and the dies are free with a £90.00 order.

I’ve coloured the Lily in with the Stampin’ Blends in Flirty Flamingo and Mossy Meadow. I think this Lily makes a lovely focal piece for this card. The ribbon is new crinkled white seam binding and I love it. It is so soft and gives a lovely subtle accent to the card.

I’m not normally a great fan of water lilies. They are amazing flowers but there are others that I prefer. This image reminds me of the water lilies at Kew Gardens in London. As some of you may know I am a Londoner born and bred. I only moved here to Lincoln in 2016. We lived close to Kew and I do miss visiting.#
