It’s a Cupcake Bouquet for MUSE!

~ lostinpaper ~ 15 Comments

Welcome back!  Today my card expands on the ‘Cupcake Bouquet’ idea so out came the few flower punches that I own (I’ve never been a real punch kinda girl…  but die cuts, well that’s a whole nother story).   It was easy I just picked a paper pad with the colours I wanted and then add some bling, Voila!

I can’t wait to see how this card inspires you!

It’s time for a Challenge (or two)!

~ lostinpaper ~ 14 Comments

I have a quick share today and with all the anticipation of my holidays, I can’t believe that I am already back to work.  I did manage to get heaps achieved though and my house is a ‘little more’ Spring cleaned than a month ago.  Sadly not a lot of card making time, but today I did have a spare hour where I managed to make a card for the current TAWS Be Inspired Challenge and Simon Says Stamp who are having fun with some Animal Antics.

Cupcake Bouquet – Craft Dash #24 (Video)

~ lostinpaper ~ 13 Comments

Hiya, I’m back and have finally had a chance to make a ‘card for fun’.   Things have been so hectic around here that it’s nice to find a few spare minutes and share in one of my fave challenges at the Craft Dash and with such a sweet colour mix I really couldn’t resist.  I’ve been filming a few tutorials in the past couple of days so I thought it was just as easy to film whilst I was creating…  but be warned it took me nearly the whole 10 minutes lol.  Hugs

Who’s up for the challenge?

~ lostinpaper ~ 24 Comments

Well Hello!  Today I’ve made a card and combined two amazing challenges together for inspiration.  Initially when I saw the photo at TAWS Be Inspired Challenge I put it in the too hard basket and then out of nowhere Runway Inspired Challenge brings out the most amazing green and black graphic dress and an idea sprung.  And you know you just gotta go with it, not another card will be made until this one gets out of your head lol.

I made these sweet little flowers following a fab tutorial by jewelloveit at youtube HERE.
