Make a Hedgehog Birthday Card – No Dimension

Make a Hedgehog Birthday Card – No Dimension – Happy Hedgehogs – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I have this happy hedgehog birthday card to share today. This card is flat with no dimension except for the pearls. As the cost of postage is going up, I’ve been looking at making some cards that will go through as a normal letter. Even the addition of the pearls can sometimes increase the postage as it is too thick for a normal letter. I wanted to show with this card that you can make still cute cards with a minimum or no dimension that will go through at the cheapest rate of postage.

Change it Up – How to Colour on Crumb Cake Cardstock

Change it Up – How to Colour on Crumb Cake Cardstock – Little Monkey – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’ve been watching videos on YouTube showing people colouring on kraft cardstock. I decided to give it a go myself. This card is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers on Crumb Cake cardstock. I love how it turned out.

There are some points I would like to mention. Firstly, the colours show up differently on Crumb cardstock to Basic White cardstock. The colours can look darker and “wetter”. Let them dry and they change quite a bit. The colours lighten and become more defined. If you are unsure do a test on some scrap cardstock.

Create a Scene Thank You Card – Playing in the Rain

Create a Scene Thank You Card – Playing in the Rain – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I love how this card turned out. It is darling, don’t you agree? This little turtle is so cute. This card is a mixture of stamped images and die cuts. Scene cards are some of my favourite cards to make. They do take a little longer to create but they are such fun to make.

The stamped images are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I’ve added shading to the die cuts using the matching ink colours and blending brushes. This adds dimension and depth to the die cuts so they don’t look so flat.

Kiddin’ Around – How to Use Die Cuts to Make A Child’s Card

Kiddin’ Around – How to Use Die Cuts to Make A Child’s Card – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK

I told myself a little story when I designed this card. The child has been busy building his castle using his building blocks. He is now trying to cast a magic spell to make his toy castle into a real one.

All the elements bar the little “wizard” are created using the dies and cardstock. The “wizard” is stamped and die-cut. There is co-ordinating paper and the dies do cut out some of the images. In the example below I’ve used the image from the paper.

The Easter Bunny is Here!!

The Easter Bunny is Here!! – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I adore the Easter Bunny stamp set. Yes, all my easter bunnies are white, but the Easter bunny is white to me. I matched this stamp set with the Up & Away paper. This paper is a part of the Hot Air Balloon suite but goes well with this set. I took my inspiration for colours from the designer series paper. It has lovely pastel colours which are perfect for Easter.

Little Dreamers – A New Star is Born – Baby Card – Up in the Stars – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

Colouring this Cute Beaver – Make a Birthday Card

Colouring this Cute Beaver – Make a Birthday Card – Fluffiest Friends – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I’m back with another project using the Fluffiest Friends stamp and die bundle. I just love all the cute little critters in this set. Which is your favourite?

This beaver is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I do love to colour, it’s so relaxing. I used both stamps and dies in this card. The die set comes with little leaves and branches to decorate the card. The beaver is so sweet sitting on his “nest” of leaves. You can ink the leaves well for extra interest.

Fluffiest Friends – Honey Bear – Easy Colouring

Fluffiest Friends – Honey Bear – Easy Colouring – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Isn’t this bear cute? He looks so happy, gorging himself on honey. I love how the honey is dripping out of the pot. I used a mixture of stamped and die-cut elements to make this card.

The main image is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I love these as they are so easy to colour with. I generally start with my darker colour and then blend with the lighter one. Just be careful not to over-saturate your image. If I want to add more colour, I will let the image dry and then come back and work on it again.

How to Make a Ginger Cat Magnetic Bookmark

How to Make a Ginger Cat Magnetic Bookmark – Fluffiest of Friends – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love to read, do you? I know we have digital books but there is something special about real books. Nothing can beat it. I do admit I will buy fiction books digitally but never nonfiction. It’s just too hard to keep referencing back to previous pages digitally.

Making your own bookmarks is so easy and why not have something pretty to keep your page? This bookmark is a magnetic one. I bought the magnet pairs online a few years ago and still have tons left.

The inspiration for this project is the neighbourhood ginger cat. I don’t know where his home is but he loves to sunbath either in my drive or garden.

Shop The Town – How to Build a Christmas Scene Card

Shop The Town – How to Build a Christmas Scene Card – Shop The Town – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I love it when a stamp set matches a set of dies already in my stash. The Shop The Town stamp set fits the Let’s Go Shopping dies from the main annual catalogue. The stamp set can also be used with the Let’s Go Shopping stamp set. You can therefore build a variety of great Christmas scene cards.

As you know I love to colour. This card took a while to make but I found it so therapeutic to sit and colour. I’ve used the Stampin’ Up! Blends alcohol markers. They are so easy to blend and shade with.
