How to Make a Beautifully Blended Rainbow Card

How to Make a Beautifully Blended Rainbow Card – Sketched Butterflies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I love rainbow cards. Do you? They are bright, happy and fun. What is not to love? I made this rainbow by ink blending. The white butterflies from the Sketched Butterflies set pop against this colourful background.

My rainbow colours are Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue and Gorgeous Grape. I found they blended easily into each other. What colours would you use?

How to do it! The Blackout but not the Blackout Technique

How to do it! The Blackout but not the Blackout Technique – Layered Florals – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

The blackout technique seems to be taking the crafting world by storm. I love the effect but struggle with so much black on a card. I like bright, light and vibrant cards. Therefore I decided to do the technique but not use a black ink pad.

To make this card I dry embossed using the Layered Florals embossing folder. I then used Petunia Pop to create the same effect as a black ink pad. I tried the same technique using a Blueberry Bushel ink pad. What do you think of the results?

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.

Make a “Pop Out” Fancy Fold Card – What Would You Call it?

Make a “Pop Out” Fancy Fold Card – What Would You Call it? – Simply Said – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I don’t have a clue what to call this fancy fold. Do you? I found it on Pinterest when I was searching for ideas. I’ve called it a pop out card as the front panel pops out. It is not a complicated card to make. I would recommend you make a template for yourself before you make it. It helps you understand the construction.

The lovely paper is the Mediterranean Blooms designer series paper (DSP). The above design is lemons and below is oranges. Which do you like best?

Round We Go – A Great Card Idea For You

Round We Go – A Great Card Idea For You – Birthday Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love blue and pink together. Here I’ve paired Balmy Blue and Pretty in Pink. I’m happy with the way it turned out. I’m not sure what to call these little images. Are they rosettes, pinwheels, spirals? What would you call them?

Below is a slightly different version of the card. I’ve reversed the colour combination and changed the sentiment. The sentiments are from the Simply Said stamp set. It’s great basic sentiment stamp set to add to your stash.

I am sharing this clean and simple “Thinking of you Card”. It uses the Painted Lavender dies rather than the stamp set. The white background is embossed using the Zinnia 3D embossing folder to give some subtle interest.

We made this card in my monthly online card club that I host in my Facebook group. If you want to join the next one, you can find all the details here.
