Today’s technique for Scrapbook Boutique is a simple one, embossing with dies.  And what better die to choose than a Wonky stitched one from MFT!  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.

I think it’s fairly obvious that I was inspired by the roses and that’s because I thought they were so beautiful.  I made my panel easily, but then it took me literally FOREVER (ie over a week) to decide what to do with it from there, so finally I made myself ‘make a decision’ and in came the gold and black, phew.

I had to think just a little today at Scrapbook Boutique, as I wanted to take the ‘easy way out’ to do this multi-masking CAS design…   I used the MISTI (love!) and some Inkadinkadoo stamping mask paper….  well, if you watch the video, you’ll see what I mean.

Of course I thought I was heaven, look at all that ‘gold’ and the bold red, this card came together in no time at all, the thing that took the longest was waiting for the paint to dry between layers lol.

Video : I need more masculine cards!

~ lostinpaper ~ 23 Comments

Why is it that as my girly stash of cards grows every day and the masculine one dwindles…    couldn’t we just give the girly cards to the guys, we all know they hardly even look at them (except for our other halves of course who know just how much money – maybe…  we spend and wouldn’t dare not to have just one ooh or aaah when they open their card) lol!

Today I made one for the stash, it’s for Scrapbook Boutique and using some fab Mama Elephant products, I filmed as I created so that you could watch the process.

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

Happy Birthday to my sister and Happy New Year to you all!

My sister has an owl fixation and this year for her birthday her card had to include an owl, of course.  So out came this little cutie from Mama Elephant and I just love how he stamped out in orange.  I filmed as I created so you can watch the process.

Having some clean & simple fun with these Scribble flowers at Scrapbook Boutique, and if you know me then you know that I have coveted these flowers for-ever and finally have my hot little hands on them, so watch out!  Started with a real easy ‘almost’ one layer card today and I could see this style of card in a set, maybe as a gift, what do you think?
