Video : Penny Black Cat Love!

~ lostinpaper ~ 20 Comments

One of my fave colouring techniques with Prismas is using them direct to design paper, and today I felt like colouring so I did just that!  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.

This time the call was for Diamonds / Jewels for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine and I realised that I had not one….. sadly.  But I got creative and this is what I came up with, it’s hard to see in this below average photo but each section of the diamond is a shaker…   so cool!

~ lostinpaper ~ 25 Comments

Today I’m playing with a new challenge on the block called Tic-Tac-Toe, it’s the brain child of Ka who is totally amazing, so why not head over and check it out… and maybe join in!  I’m using some Penny Black goodies to create a celebratory card, and yes, it’s clean & simple, go figure.

Challenge 1

I decided to film because I was playing with my new present, it’s a MISTI and now I don’t know how I lived without it lol.  Thanks so much Kara, I am having a blast!

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.

~ lostinpaper ~ 30 Comments

What better way to start my 2015 Same but Different Card Series than a little challenge to myself.  Six of the same but different cards and using only two stamp sets!   I decided to play with these gorgeous sets from Penny Black and no regrets there, they stamped beautifully and with a little flash of silver it was done before I knew it!

Over the next few weeks I’m going to be sharing this series of Christmas cards and I look forward to you joining me in the fun.  I will warn you that not all the products I will be using are current, it’s kinda a budget thing, but really just a great way to use the stash.  But obviously anything can be switched out for whatever fabulous products that you already have around you, that’s part of the fun (cause you know that when you use it up, you have a right to buy some more…..  true!).

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.

Back with another Super hero themed card today, this time for Scrapbook Boutique Blog and I have this hilarious image from Stampingbella, she just cracks me up!  But it was one of those days when I just couldn’t work out where I was going with the card, although eventually I got there in the end.  You can watch the process because I filmed as I created.

So I wanted the ‘pencily’ look and now I’m not so sure…  what do you think,maybe my usual bold and bright might have been better?  I had fun though and it doesn’t hurt to stretch those creative urges, I have enough stuff here to stretch them for years…  but apparently I still ‘need’ more, just ask my friend Paypal, good bloke that one, I don’t even have to leave my seat (go figure).  Now to business….
