Video : Inktense Watercolour – Penny Black!

~ lostinpaper ~ 33 Comments

Today I felt like colouring with my Inktense Pencils, and I forgot how much I adore the vibrancy of them!   Especially when I’m colouring such a sweet little Penny Black image, so I filmed as I created so you can watch the process.

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

Video : Creating Snowflake Leaves is Easy!

~ lostinpaper ~ 22 Comments

Love stretching my supplies and today my card features some ‘Snowflake Leaves’ from Penny Black, and I filmed so you can watch the process.

I was inspired by this wonderful card HERE that Jill Foster made, where I first saw the idea to use these flakes as leaves and she did make the most fabulous wreath…  I gotta do that myself, how clever she is!

If I had time, I would love to have made this same card but instead of my ‘leaves’ make them glittery snowflakes, but alas time is precious right now, maybe another day…

Loving this busy time of year though, trying not to make it too stressful and totally enjoying the sparkly lights on my Christmas tree!  Hope you are having holiday fun too, Hugs

Video : 2016 Same but Different Christmas Card Series – No 6 – Keeping it Warm!

~ lostinpaper ~ 22 Comments

I’m sad to say this is my last video in my 2016 Same but Different Christmas Card Series for this year. And for my final set of cards I’ve gone with a theme, and today we are ‘Keeping it Warm’.

I was asked to create some ‘warm weather’ cards because you may have guessed that I live in Australia and typically our weather is hot at Christmas. And I know crafter’s that struggle with the concept of snow flakes on Australian Christmas cards, yes, Linda I’m talking about you lol.  This is also the lady you can blame for me starting my own blog and submitting for publications, I feel very lucky to call her a friend and an inspiration.

The best thing about creating a One Layer Card (other than the challenge of creating exactly what you want in only one layer) is that it is easy to post and with crossed fingers it will arrive at it’s final destination in one piece and without any extra postage cost.

I’ll be back next week with the final in this series!

Video : 2016 Same but Different Christmas Card Series – No 4 – Mass Production Tips – Six Cards!

~ lostinpaper ~ 18 Comments

Welcome back, and we are already into Week 4 of my Christmas Card Series for 2016, can you believe it!  And today it’s all about ‘mass production’ and you all know that sometimes it’s a necessary ‘evil’ lol. but with some slight tweaks they can all be ‘the Same but Different’.

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

There are some great advantages to mass production, the pressure is ‘off’, you don’t have to rethink every card design and while the goodies are out, making multiples of a design certainly is a time saver.  Finally, if it means that your friends and family can receive a hand made card from you this Christmas, that is truly a bonus and I will tell you right now that they will appreciate it, it does not matter that the cards are similar or even the same!

See you again real soon!  Hugs,

~ lostinpaper ~ 38 Comments

One of the most beautiful ‘flowers’ ever and so perfect on a Christmas card, especially in ‘gold’.  Our Poinsettias have just finished flowering as we are now heading into Spring / Summer here, but they do add such a brightness to the garden, actually I have a memory that they are not flowers but that they are coloured leaves?  Do you know, or did I dream that?  Oh, and I also decided to film as I coloured.

Video: Quick & Easy Monochromatic Christmas card!

I’ve had a few questions about how to use the ‘photo image’ style stamps from Penny Black and today I have a quick and easy idea!  I decided to film as I created so you can watch the process.

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

So happy to have finally made a start on my Christmas cards, although one card is not a real dent though!

Deck the Halls – Just in time!

Just in time…  Merry Christmas to you all!   If things have gone to plan (ie a 7 hour drive Christmas eve with no hiccoughs) I am now at my brother’s enjoying a lovely relaxing Chrissy by the pool and enjoying some great food and bubbles.

Todays cards were published in the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine for the ‘Just in Time’ feature where the call was to create two similar cards, one that was easy and one more detailed.  Me?   I like the clean and simple one.
