Making a Small Gift Box using the “In the Wild” Paper

Making a Small Gift Box using the “In the Wild” Paper – Sunny Sentiments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – Lincoln UK

This cute little gift box is a companion piece to the card I made in the previous blog post. It uses the gorgeous “In the Wild” designer series paper. The paper is all about the big cats, mainly tigers and leopards. I’ve focused on the tigers for both this box and the previous card.

I do hope that Stampin’ Up! will bring out another collection with animals from the veld such as elephants, zebras & giraffes. I loved seeing them in the national parks back in South Africa. If you didn’t know all my maternal family are back in South Africa so it holds a special place for me.

How to Use Embossing Paste & Stencils

How to Use Embossing Paste & Stencils – Focus Friday – Butterflies & Flowers – Sunny Sentiments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to another Focus Friday project. Today we are looking at using embossing paste through a stencil. This cardstock started off as a plain piece of Gorgeous Grape card. Look how pretty it is now!! One tip is to wash your stencil straight away after using the embossing paste. It is so much easier to clean while the paste is still wet. If you like it dry it is hell to clean.

How to Emboss on a Blended Ink Background

How to Emboss on a Blended Ink Background – Focus Friday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

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.

Beautiful Penned – Thank You Card

Beautiful Penned – Thank You Card – Sunny Sentiments – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK – Crafting with Ashee

I love making thank you cards. We don’t send enough of them I feel. Such a little gesture can mean so much to someone. This one is very simple and has quite a few layers that pop from each other. The black and white designer series paper (DSP) is a freebie I got in Sale-a-bration. I love getting free paper but then what crafter wouldn’t?

Turtle Friends – Friends Make A Birthday Great

Turtle Friends – Friends Make A Birthday Great – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

Isn’t this little guy cute? He is coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. He is such a friendly little guy, just makes you smile. The stamp set is Turtle Friends and of course has a matching punch. I love my punches and have quite a collection of retired punches as I struggle to destash them. They are convenient and don’t require any other tools to use.

Ever since I was a child I’ve always loved pretty packaging and taking time to make a gift look extra special. It makes all the difference I think to show you took the time to care.
