Happy Combi Birthday at Scrapbook Boutique (video)!

~ lostinpaper ~ 18 Comments

Hi there today I have a quick and easy masculine card for Scrapbook  Boutique.  I adore this fab set from Avery Elle as we are a ‘Combi’ family, it actually came ‘with’ my husband, what a bonus!  Since then it’s been around his family and now back again, here is our baby,

Back today with another card for Scrapbook Boutique.   I’m addicted to Avery Elle stamps and when I saw this set I just had to have it…   and of course the matching dies (wink).

I decided to film as I created just in case you wanted to watch.

Altering your dies at Addicted to Die Cutting (video)!

~ lostinpaper ~ 17 Comments

Now I don’t mean actually getting out the grinder and ‘really’ altering your dies but sometimes it is possible to adapt them to get the look that you are after.  Such as making the cut longer or wider…   so many possibilities.

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

Now, I used a dark background (so it would be easier to see the result) but after looking at the card I was thinking maybe I could have gone with my original plan and used a white background……  What do you think?

I’m back again tomorrow, twice, so I’ll see you then and again!

I wasn’t too sure if I was up for the challenge, and looking at my card now I would definitely love to tweak it just a little, but that’s the joy of only 10 minutes.  I just love that it stops me from procrastinating for literally hours sometimes lol.  So thanks again for the inspiration Micah!

A quick share today!  I decided to make a card for fun…  and I ‘should‘ be doing other things, how very naughty.  But I’m on holidays and at home with my hubby who has manflu, it’s a very serious condition which requires a lot of attention and ooh’s and aaah’s.   So in the meantime here I am.  I wanted to play at the last Avery Elle challenge but missed it so I was determined to join this one and what a fun sketch it is too.

Stretch Your Stamps – Multi-Inking & Gilding”ish’ flowers!

~ lostinpaper ~ 7 Comments

Back with Day 9 and I’m trying Jennifer’s technique Multi-Inking and Gilding: Floral Builder Stamps.  I used some fine glitter to create my stripes and ‘gilded’ leaves instead of embossing them as I was hoping the glitter would shimmer just that little bit more….   probably didn’t expect it to glitter up this much though, is there anything as too much glitter?

Hey there how’s it going?  I’m having a wonderful weekend, spending some QT with my husband.  We had a lovely lunch at a cafe by the sea and were lucky enough to see some whales heading north, they were so close to shore, maybe it’s because there were no waves in sight…

Anyhow, I’ve been busy working in the background and will have heaps more for you real soon but til then my share for today is a publication where the call was ‘ombre’, I took the cheats way out and let the paper do all the work, oh and of course these fabulous Avery Elle stamps helped!

Hello Baby!

~ lostinpaper ~ 16 Comments

Sadly I missed last month’s sketch with Lisa, what with an overseas holiday, then visitors and both our computers were in the hospital so I couldn’t even edit a photo…  gasp!  Now I’m back on track and had a few minutes to spare today (well not really I should be cleaning the house before our next visitors arrive tonight) but I ‘needed’ to make a card for fun.  So I thought I would film as I go just in case you had a few spare minutes to watch when you ‘could’  be cleaning the house too (wink)!

Definitely out of the box for me, I felt like making an unexpected card for one of my close friends who turned 40.  Not my best photos….   but I’m sure you get the idea, ps her 5 year old son thinks it’s the best thing since sliced bread, the card is constantly in a state of flux!
