Video : Big Hugs – Pinterest Inspired Challenge!

~ lostinpaper ~ 21 Comments

How COOL is the inspiration over at the new Pinterest Inspired Challenge, I definitely didn’t want to miss out and you should see the gallery, not to mention the fab DT entries WoW!  I decided to film as I created, lots of fussing today, which is typical if I have no definitive plan…  that seems to be the drill, but no rush, I’m playing anyway.

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

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.

One Die…. Four Ways!

~ lostinpaper ~ 18 Comments

I have a really quick publication share tonight as I’m  totally enjoying my holidays and haven’t even had a chance to make any cards yet! I also just got back from a visit to my brother and SIL  in Gladstone (only a 8 hour drive away) but it was so nice to see them, we ate way too much they have the best Indian restaurant across the road and to be honest it’s worth the drive lol.

So I thought I would share this publication for The Australian Cardmaking, Stamping and Papercraft magazine where I was asked to use one die… four ways and this is what I came up with using some fab MFT products (my apologies in advance for the photo heavy post).

Forever Fabulous Vellum!

~ lostinpaper ~ 24 Comments

I haven’t had a chance to make a card for way too long now, it’s been a very social month  here and while you are reading this I am off camping at the beach, so fingers crossed the weather is kind.  I am definitely having crafty withdrawals, but do have a card to share.  It’s a publication for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine, this vellum is so nice (I accidentally bought the wrong one) it has these fab flecks in it!

Birthday Whoot!

~ lostinpaper ~ 26 Comments

I found a card today that I forgot to share, I remember something about wanting to wait til after her birthday, but that was on New Years Day…   oops.  Love love these sweet owls from from  Art Impressions and they are perfect for my sister who has just a little ‘owl’ obsession.  This is a little different to my normal style, but one I thought she’d like.

Things are a little wet here on the edge of Cyclone Marcia (which was a Category 5), and with more rain to come it’s time to craft. Especially because they have taken my husband away to help (he is a nurse as well) and where he’s gone there is no power, phones and it’s flooded, but apparently they have found some accommodation.  It’s going to be a massive cleanup, but thankfully by some miracle no lives have been lost.  I plan on keeping crafty busy so then I won’t have time to worry.  Hugs,

Back today with another card for Scrapbook Boutique.  How are things going on the Christmas card front in your house? Here is a very simple idea to make those ‘last second’ cards, you know, the ones that your husband comes home and says ‘can you just make me….. ‘ and it’s usually about 10 or so cards lol.
