50th Wedding Anniversary – Publication

~ lostinpaper ~ 17 Comments

This card is a little different for me, it has a few more layers than usual, but it just kind of felt right when I was making it so I just went with it.  This was published by the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine where the call was cards for a special occasion.

Happy 50th - Detail

Happy 50th

And…  just in case you are missing me…  I’m on holidays with my family at the moment, 4WD’ing on the World heritage listed Fraser Island, so no doubt I’ll be out on a beach in the sun somewhere for sure.
Catch you when I’m back, Hugs

Video : Quick & Easy Collection Kit Card!

~ lostinpaper ~ 12 Comments

Today’s card for Scrapbook Boutique is very ‘Quick & Easy’, and what better way to do that than to use a collection kit.  Cocoa Vanilla Studio always has the most beautiful kits and ‘Look Mum?  No stamping!’  I have a video showing you how this card came together.

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

Polychromos pencils on Kraft cardstock.

~ lostinpaper ~ 37 Comments

Today I decided it was time to practice with my Polychromos pencils and I thought why not add them to kraft!  They are very similar to the Prismacolor pencils but different lol. and I had lots of fun and know that the more that I play with them the more comfortable I will become.

Lostinpaper - Penny Black - Love Art - Happy Snippets (1)

This poppy image is so pretty and with just a little masking I could add a second flower and make the stem longer.  I thought I would be a little daredevilish today and decided to only stamp 2 flowers….   I know, I know, an even number!

Video : Altenew Focus Post – Remember This!

~ lostinpaper ~ 15 Comments

Hi there, today I have a focus post for Altenew and that means you get to see three cards all created using the same stamp set.  It’s another fab layering flower set which we know Altenew does so well, this one is called Remember This.

For my first card (and video) I was inspired by this card HERE created by Lisa Johnson, she is amazing and I’ve had this card pinned on my board for ages and purposely didn’t look at it before I started creating as I wanted to create my own version….  there are still lots of similarities though, but how do you improve on perfection.  Thanks Lisa for the inspiration.

Altenew – July 2016 Release, Bloghop & Giveaway (Video)!

~ lostinpaper ~ 398 Comments

 

July2016BlogHopGraphic_UPDATE

I’m so excited to be taking part in Altenew’s 2016 July release and blog hop, and if you arrived here from Laura Bassen’s blog then you are exactly where you need to be.  Today we will be releasing 16 stamp sets, some new papers and washi tape!   I had so much fun with these new stamp sets, I can’t wait to play some more.

Here is my first card for today (the video link is below),

Lostinpaper - Altenew - Tulip - Birch Land -Detail (video) copy

Time for a CAS tone on tone background using those fabulous gray inks and the pale gray cardstock from Altenew. Then it was time for a bright stamp layered Tulip from this gorgeous new set and the sentiment was taken from Birch Land.

I decided to film as I created this card to show just how it came together.

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

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGm3vDPgDDk]

And now, my second and brightest card for this release.  I decided to use the Celebrations stamp set to create a fun wedding card.  It was time to do some paper piecing and I decided to use one of my all time fave colour combos – bright orange and hot pink, now who wouldn’t love this?

And for my final card I used the Happy Mail set to create this clean and simple design.  Just a little bit of sneaky masking, colour added with Prismacolor Pencils and my panel sitting up on a piece of (hoarded) Cherry Wood specialty paper, this card came together very quickly.

Altenew Focus Post – Painted Rose three times over!

~ lostinpaper ~ 22 Comments

Hiya, today I have a focus post for Altenew and that means you get to see three cards all created using the same stamp set.  It’s another fab layering flower set which we know Altenew does so well, this one is called Painted Rose.

  When I saw this set I just knew that I had to do at least one ‘red rose’ card, and the crisp inks didn’t let me down.  Don’t you just love the subtle recycled look of the Spicy Yogurt cardstock, I already know that I am going to have to ‘stock up’ on this one.

And for an easy to mass produce (especially if you have one of them MISTIs)  here’s a quick and easy ‘Save the Date’ card, which could be stamped in any colour or in gold…  silver….   well, you know where I’m going with this.

And did I say just one ‘red’ rose card, well, I did make it two.   This version is a little different to the first with a watercoloury painted rose look.

~ lostinpaper ~ 22 Comments

We all approach stamping differently and sometimes you just gotta work out what is easiest for you.  And that’s why I thought I would share with you today how I stamp out the layered flowers from Altenew’s Peony Bouquet set.  These flowers are so versatile, with the outline, without the outline, with the layers or without the layers….  I think you get what I’m trying to say.

Today I have two videos to share, the first shows how I stamp out and die cut the images and you can see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

Altenew January 2016 Release, Blog Hop & Giveaway!

~ lostinpaper ~ 189 Comments

blog hop banner Jan 16

I’m so excited to be taking part in Altenew’s 2016 January release  and blog hop, if you arrived here from Anna Kossakovskaya’s blog you are exactly where you should be.  We will be releasing 10 new stamp sets. Unfortunately the two stamp sets that Marika designed won’t be released this month, but we will be releasing them in February.

For my first card today I used the fabulous apple from the new Teacher’s Rule stamp set and created a bit of texture by swiping the ink across the stamp and I just love how it turned out (especially with these new specialty papers from Altenew).

Inspiration - Detail Inspiration

I got all ‘retro’ with my second card and had the best fun copic colouring these swirls from You Are and popped up a big  Super Script sentiment on some kraft and called it done.

Awesome - Detail Awesome

My final card is truly a CAS design and I thought it would be fun to create a whole set of these using the images and sentiments from Way Too Sweet, they would come together in no time at all!

So Sweet - Detail So Sweet

Now, to the good stuff and onto the Prizes and there are two ways to win!
