Another Idea – How to Use Heat Embossing and Ink Blending. – Enduring Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo

I’ve used this set previously to make a few cards. I decided to step it up with this card and use heat embossing alongside the ink blending. All the stamping is heat embossed with silver embossing powder. It will resist the ink blending, leaving the silver metallic lines.

I’ve coloured this card using the matching stencils. This gives these florals this lovely shading.

Make a Gorgeous Festive Flower Card – How to Stencil a Background.

Make a Gorgeous Festive Flower Card – How to Stencil a Background – Abundant Beauty – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I love how this card turned out. The flowers are so bright and pretty. I wanted my card to be a festive one so I limited my colour palette to the reds, greens and yellows. I was thinking of poinsettias. The flower is meant to be a sunflower I think. I have used it this way in a previous card. However, depending on how you colour it, it can be whatever you want it to be.

The Abundant Beauty stencil is a layering stencil but I did extra shading with both my blending brushes and sponge daubers. There are only 3 leaves on the stencil. I kept moving the stencil around to add more leaves and fill in the gaps in the design.

How to Make an Autumnal-Style Birthday Card

How to Make an Autumnal-Style Birthday Card – Abundant Beauty – Celebrate with Tags – Crafting With Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

I do love stencils. They are amazing. There is so much you can do with them. I get every stencil Stampin’ Up! release. They are perfect for easy backgrounds and focal images alike.

The stencil I’ve used today is part of the Abundant Beauty pack. It creates a simple autumnal background. You can use just one ink colour or multiple colours as I’ve done today. I took my blending brushes and ink pads and had lots of fun.

Abundant Beauty – How to Use the Layering Masks

Abundant Beauty – How to Use the Layering Masks – Wanted to Say Dies – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I love using layering stencils, they make a card so easily. Layering stencils also allow you to create extra depth and dimension. You can layer simple colours for even greater interest.

I normally use Basic White cardstock but I decided to change things up this time and use Crumb Cake. This is the first time I’ve done this and I am so happy with the effect. Do you stencil on coloured cardstock?

How to Make a Blended Rainbow Card

How to Make a Blended Rainbow Card – Wanted to Say – Quiet Meadow – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I was inspired to make this card after watching a video on YouTube by Nichol Spohr. She used different products but I adapted it to what I had. I love the way it turned out.

It really isn’t difficult to achieve a seamless blended background. There are a number of tips I can give you. One is not to overload your blending brush, secondly, I tap off my brush on my grid paper before I start to blend and thirdly take your time going back and forwards between colours until you achieve something you are happy with.

Stencil Technique – How to Colour With Them

Stencil Technique – How to Colour With Them – Loveliest Layers Masks – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK

The Loveliest layers masks include a set of stencils that allow you to colour a flower image and leaves. The masks make it very easy to add shading and detail.

I felt there was too much white space on the image so I used a very light colour blended over the whole panel, both white space and image. I used a text stamp to add extra detail in the background. This has been made in two different colours, pink and yellow. Which do you like best?

How to Off-Set Stencils to Create a Card

How to Off-Set Stencils to Create a Card – Loveliest Layers Masks – Biggest Wish – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

I love stencils and have an extensive collection. Do I use them enough? Of course not, like most crafters I have stuff I love to have but don’t use. I realised the other day that I haven’t used these stencils and they have been in my stash for nearly a year. I don’t want them to retire and I never used them.

The stencil I used today has these little stripes that repeat. It is perfect for this technique of off-setting the stencil. I’ve used a mixture of colours that I have blended together.

How to Layer the Artistic Masks / Stencils

How to Layer the Artistic Masks / Stencils – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

Stencils/masks are a quick and easy way to make a background for your cards. Here I’ve used two of the masks from the Artistic Masks set. I’ve layered them up to create this fun pattern. Layering stencils allow you to add texture and depth of interest to your backgrounds.

These cards are very tonal. I laid the colour down with a blending brush, using the lighter colour first and adding interest with the darker one. I made this card in two different colour ways. Which do you prefer?

Tone on Tone Effect – How to Achieve it with Stencils

Tone on Tone Effect – How to Achieve it with Stencils – Focus Friday – Happiest of Birthday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK.

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.
