Here I go with the ‘Pink‘ pineapples again, there is something about them that makes me smile for sure! Today I die cut some washi tape and have some Freckled Fawn Fun. I decided to film as I created as this is something a little different for me.

It’s time for a Pop of Black & White and that was the call for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine and I thought this little sweetie would look just fab in a polka skirt (been practicing my fabric folds – this skirt was paper pieced from some design paper and the shading was added after)!
I’ll be back on Friday with a video for Altenew, look forward to seeing you then!

I was lucky to be asked to join the Avery Elle ‘Geek Love’ Stamper’s Challenge for the Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft magazine. This is an uber cute stamp set and I (heart) the matching die set too!
Here are the two cards that I made, I think I was trying to channel my ‘inner’ Laura Bassen on the little girl card, for some reason lately I’ve been avoiding blending, so here I thought I would give it a try Doublestick Heaven style… and I still have a ways to go lol, thanks for the inspiration Laura!
Thanks for your visit today!

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!
Loving the sentiment too which is a wood veneer from Freckled Fawn, they have such fun embellies. Have a great day,

Squishing in a last couple of Christmas cards before the big day. This one is CAS (and was hard to photograph) but I’m sure you get the drift. This is a sweet little Penny Black stamp called Holly Tweet, easy to stamp and add a little shading and colour details with my Prismacolor Pencils. I’ve got one more Chrissy video on Tuesday and I promise you, that’s it.
I’ve linked the stamps from Penny Black below, thanks for visiting!

Of course I need some Chrissy tags this year and I thought it would be fun to join in the challenge at Avery Elle AEI(heart)U where I was inspired by Karolyn Loncon’s gorgeous card (thanks so much) and so I would like to also include this card in Tracey McNeely’s 25 Days of Christmas Tags. You should check out the link up, there is some incredible inspiration there! So without further ado here is today’s tag and it’s a bright and cheery little number.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ll be back tomorrow with not one, but two posts to share (including a video), so look forward to seeing you then!

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!).
Other Supplies: Penny Black Stamp set – Gleeful. Cardstock – American Crafts glitter – Powder. Avery Elle – Rectangle Dies, Mama Elephant Dies – Sew Easy, Bigshot, Martha Stewart – Crystal flakes (I don’t even know where I got these…. but had them on my ‘want to use’ list 4 ever!

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

This card was inspired by this awesome card from Larissa Heskett Designs, I adore the shaker bag, it’s genius! And a big thanks to everyone with their wonderful ideas about which watercolours to buy, the advice was greatly appreciated.
Other Supplies: Gansai Tambi – Black, Orange, Lemon Yellow, Cobalt Blue, Light Brown.

Totally easy and total fun, these new Avery Elle Peonies are so sweet and having the matching dies, it really is a match made in heaven.. that is, when I eventually work it out lol. This is my card for this month’s challenge at AEI(heart)U where it’s time to have a non-white card base. I decided to film as I created, basically because I’m on holidays and I can.

Keeping it real simple for this month’s entry to Avery Elle’s Embossing challenge, in fact it’s just a little difficult to see the embossed part of my card, but it’s those fabulous double pierced rectangles that I can’t get enough of and I used one of these to create a subtle border for my scene.
![Challenge 27_thumb[2]](https://lostinpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/challenge-27_thumb2.png)

It seems like I’ve started a new series called ‘By Request‘, it’s quite happened by accident but it’s been fun and given me a little focus, so let me know if there is anything you want me to show or try, as most of the cards I make are created while videoing sometimes with lots of pre-thought sometimes with very little and lots of ‘winging it’ along the way (so a little direction may be good).
This card was a re-creation of this card HERE, and I know it may look very different but it’s really just the same technique with different colours and images.
You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.
