Today I have a very clean and simple design to share.  I used one of the cute Penny Black hedgehogs to sit on top of a sentiment that was discarded from a previous card….   and I didn’t want to put it aside because you already know that I would never use it, so while I’m motivated I’m using it!

The focus today was water lilies and the Lotus set from Altenew was an obvious choice for me.

When I saw the smaller sized Action Wobbles I just knew I ‘had to have‘ them, and now my world is complete lol.  They are seriously the perfect size…  and for a person who makes very few ‘interactive’ cards, I’m hooked!  I decided to film as I created so you can watch the process.

Video : Golden Poinsettia – Penny Black

~ 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 : 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.

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.

Musing!

Thought I would sneak in some challenge inspiration and as usual Michele never fails to deliver at this week’s MUSE and here it is in all it’s fabulousness!

Michele’s Card

I kept the basic sketch very similar although changed the orientation of the card and was wondering if would you could call a pig cute?  Well I think that this one is!  I also added a ‘slightly’ bold sentiment….

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!

Video : Playing with my Gansai Tambi Watercolours!

~ lostinpaper ~ 16 Comments

So happy to be playing with my new Kuretake Gansai Tambi and I think it’s time for a watercolour class (or two).   I was in two minds whether to share this, as it’s not my fave card but literally it’s the first time I’ve added water to paints so thought I would share it anyway.

My first play with some Reverse Confetti products and they are sooo much fun.  I was asked to create two cards for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine for their Stamper’s Challenge and here is what I came up with.  My fave would of course have to be the pink and orange card…  definitely one of my ‘go to’  colour combo’s at the moment.

CAS Penny Black!

~ lostinpaper ~ 25 Comments

Does it get any easier than this….   the biggest decision I had to make on this card was whether to use sprinkles, dew drops and/or sequins, so for a fast and easy card, you could change up which flowers or sentiments used or even make a set using different coloured cardstock, so easy and pretty.
