Video : Quick & Easy Masculine Designs!

~ lostinpaper ~ 12 Comments

Oh my, I couldn’t believe that my stash of masculine cards is pretty much gone, I think there has been way too much Christmas card making going on round here, so I had to fix it and real quick as I have a few December birthdays to sort.  So I decided to film as I created so you can watch the process and learn some ‘boy’ design card tips lol.

You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

Video : Storybook Duck!

~ lostinpaper ~ 12 Comments

I know it’s meant to be a goose, but I wanted a duck and cause it’s yellow it’s a duck…   now.  I had so much fun creating my little ‘old school’ storybook scene and when you want a little simple shading then Prisma’s are my go to choice.  You can find this card over at The Alley Way Stamps Blog.  And while I’m here you may have already heard that TAWS is sadly closing it’s doors, but that means that you can buy their fun stamps at an incredible 40% discount, so head on over!

Playing at Scrapbook Boutique today and these Faber Castell Gelatos have mammoth colour and that’s  coming from someone who doesn’t like to get her fingers dirty….      I’m so in the wrong job and  so have the wrong hobby lol!  I’ve been on the fence for a while about Gelatos, and finally took the plunge, there are so many fun techniques and I can’t wait to try some more (with gloves?)!

~ lostinpaper ~ 21 Comments

Back with a very CAS card for TAWS.  I’ve had (been hoarding) this pink design paper forever…  seriously forever and today I challenged myself to use it and the only think I could think to add was gold, so I did.  then came the dilemma how to add the sentiment….

A quick share with some cards that I made just for fun (a little while ago).  The cape was a direct CASE from the amazing Julia Alteman, who when it comes to inspiration, she has got it going on!  and I also thought I would try out creating my own background,  and this came directly from the amazing Sandy Allnock, whom I bow to for her colouring ability and vision!

A Super Kid’s card!

~ lostinpaper ~ 19 Comments

Seriously!  ………there is just so much going on with this card, but once I started the idea just grew and grew.  Probably this fiddliest bit was cutting and adhering the gray striped background, I know, doh!….  it would have been much easier to use design paper, but to be honest I just didn’t think of that at the time (probably because I just woke up from night duty when I made it), haha.

Simple Embossing for AEIOU!

~ lostinpaper ~ 26 Comments

Keeping it real simple for this month’s entry to Avery Elle’s Embossing challenge, in fact it’s just a little difficult to see the embossed part of my card, but it’s those fabulous double pierced rectangles that I can’t get enough of and I used one of these to create a subtle border for my scene.

I absolutely do not know where this card came from…  initially it was something about the shape of the cupcake and the gnome hat and then I think the colours came in and somehow the ‘dig it’ theme…  and don’t even ask about why a vege garden lol.

Mini Penguin Frames!

~ lostinpaper ~ 20 Comments

Catching up on some publication shares and I had so much fun making this card, but I gotta say that it took me a while to get here.  I knew I wanted to use the small frame stamp from Purple Onion Designs…  but then it got a bit squidgy….   then I remembered this card that I made and it was easy from then on, although this one is a little brighter.
